Cover Safety

Are Coverstar™ Canada automatic swimming pool safety covers really a safety cover?

YES. Your family's safety is our primary concern. Coverstar™ covers exceed the safety standards set by ASTM. The safety record for pools using properly operated safety covers is flawless. Our cover material is incredibly strong.  Since 1960 when safety covers were first introduced into the market, there has not been a drowning in a pool or spa equipped with a properly closed Coverstar™ cover.

Solar Heating

Do The Coverstar™ Canada Covers Help Heat The Pool?

YES. The cover captures the sun rays during the day by acting as a giant passive solar collector. The thermal qualities in the cover hold the heat in the pool at night. Their combination may increase water temperature as much as 8 to 10 degrees easily increasing your swimming season.

Pool Filtering

Will I Run My Filter Less Using A Coverstar™ Canada Cover?

YES. Our Covers seal dirt, debris and other contaminates out of the pool, thus reducing the length of time needed for filtering the pool water.

Operating Cost

Do Coverstar™ Canada Covers Reduce Yearly Operating Cost?

YES. The Coverstar™ cover reduces consumption of chemical, electrical and gas by approximately 50%. In addition, substantially less time is required to personally maintain the pool. 

Cover Material

What Are The Components Of The Cover Fabric?

The Coverstar™ cover is remarkably strong. The Ultraguard III fabric is made up of a revolutionary fabric plasticizer. This patented fabric is then reinforced with an incredibly strong patented heat sealed Dacron webbing.

Automatic Pool Cleaners

Will A Pool Cleaner Work Under The Cover?

Cover Life

What Is The Average Life Of Cover Material?

Approximately 6-8 years depending on the use and location of the cover. The Ultraguard III fabric has a special formulation of ultraviolet light inhibitors and plasticizers to guarantee a long life in the sun. Proper water chemistry and routine maintenance help to extend the life of the cover.

YES. We provide custom replacement covers for all makes of automatic pool cover systems with Coverstar™ Ultraguard III fabric. Our trained service technicians can replace a cover, perform General Maintenance Service, and complete a 14 point evaluation to prevent costly repairs.

Algae

Is Algae A Problem If The Pool Is Covered Most Of The Time?

The proper chemical balance of the pool water will prevent algae growth in a covered pool the same way it prevents growth in an uncovered pool. The only difference you will notice is fewer chemicals are needed in a Coverstar™ covered pool.

Leaf Removal

Will Leaves & Debris Accumulate On The Cover?

Most leaves and debris are blown away naturally by the wind. On bench models remaining debris should be removed before opening with a pool brush or leaf blower. On recessed models some leaves may fall into the back of the cover housing. Cover housings should be cleaned annually.

Rain Water

Will Rain Water Damage The Cover?

NO. Since the Coverstar™ cover rests on the surface of the water, several inches of accumulated rainwater will be supported by the water under the cover as long as the pool water is maintained correctly.










Should Rain Water Be Removed Before Operating Cover?

YES. A special water sensing cover pump is provided for additional safety and convenience with each Coverstar™ cover. This pump should be used to remove the water before operating the cover.

Pool Chemicals and Chlorine

Should Pool Be Covered After Adding Chemicals?

It is suggested the Coverstar™ cover be left open 2 to 4 hours after chemically treating the water to prevent chemical burns to the underside of the cover. (During this time, alternative safety measures should be in place IE. small children should be supervised.)

Covering Time

How Long Does It Take To Cover The Pool?

Covering most pools take less than a minute.

Security Lock

Preventing Unauthorized Pool Use.

The Coverstar™ cover is controlled with a special on/off switch in a lockable compartment. With the cover in the closed position, the key can be removed to prevent unauthorized use.
