Pool & Spa Scene: POOL COVERS
iPad Offer On DEL Portable Cover
The DEL Moove’O is the fi rst, fully mobile, automatic pool cover.
Self-contained and economical, it can be quickly moved out of sight singlehandedly once retracted and eliminates the need for the design eliminates guide rails. Made from rust-free aluminium, the unit works with
DEL’s range of thermo-slats, which are available in four colours – white, beige, grey and blue.
Other options are available, such as the DEL RollOver bench system which cleverly conceals the cover mechanism with an aesthetically pleasing bench.
By placing an order for the innovative new Moove’O by Del, customers will also receive a 16GB Wi-Fi iPad. As Del replacement slats are suitable for all automatic roller systems on the market, Golden Coast is also offering an iPad on orders for replacement covers with solar slats
> that don't perhaps regret not having one, due to the increased running cost and that it is an uncomfortable environment to be in a heated uncovered pool room when clothed,” says Portrait’s David Bland.
“Slatted covers have become a standard part of our pool build package especially when they are colour co-ordinated with the pool surround and play an increasingly important part in the overall design,” adds David. What is good for residential pools, is even better for commercial pools, as Dick Goodall from Aquamat explains: “No matter whether you operate a public pool, leisure complex, school or university pool, we challenge you to fi nd a better way of making fi nancial savings or improving your carbon footprint, than installing electrically operated swimming pool cover,” says Dick. “It is complex to calculate exactly what each individual swimming pool will save, but you can be sure the savings will be huge, and for 95% of installations, the payback period on the cost of installing of a new cover system is less than one year. Yes we do mean the complete cost or the cover, electric roller and installation.”
When the cover is on the pool, it will stop 98% of evaporation. Most pool halls are heated at two degrees above the pool temperature, to reduce evaporation when the pool is in use. If you don’t have evaporation, you also do not need to dehumidify, again you can set back the dehumidifi cation by 80%. If the effective life of a pool cover is between fi ve and seven years and the roller 15 to 20 years, then it doesn’t take long to work out your saving over a fi ve to ten year period. “Every pool is different, heat savings will depend on the energy

source, the pool construction, pool hall building construction, the amount and type of glass, the level of ground water and the type of air handling equipment,” Dick says.
“So we can only work on a general rule of thumb as to what these saving are. Surprisingly very few operators keep accurate records of the energy they use to heat the pool and to control the pool hall heating and humidity. Dick adds: “We estimate that in average conditions with the air handling in setback mode you will save £0.025 per m² per hour, it doesn’t sound much, but see how it adds up.“
