Questions and answers
what type of automatic floating cover is suitable for my pool?
There are two main types:
- Submerged covers: Ideal for newly constructed pools, as the system is integrated within a hidden compartment, offering maximum discretion and aesthetic harmony.
- Surface covers: Perfect for existing pools, as no additional construction work is required. The roller is installed on the pool stone. The choice will depend on the type of pool (new or existing), available space and budget.
which materials are the most suitable for the roof slats?
The slats are usually made of:
- Extruded PVC: Strong and economical, ideal for most pools.
- Solar polycarbonate: More durable and thermally efficient, as it can absorb solar heat to heat the water.
does the roof comply with safety regulations?
Many automatic floating covers comply with standards such as NF P90-308 (French standard guaranteeing safety in swimming pools). These covers are designed to support the weight of a child or pet, avoiding accidents. Always check that the model you choose complies with these standards if you are looking to ensure safety.
What are the benefits of an automatic floating cover?
- Safety: Avoids accidents by preventing access to the pool when not in use.
- Energy saving: Reduces heat loss and reduces energy consumption by up to 70%.
- Water saving: Minimizes evaporation by up to 90%.
- Reduced maintenance: Protects the water from external dirt such as leaves or dust.
- Aesthetics: Submerged covers are discreet and blend in perfectly with the environment.
is my pool compatible with an automatic floating cover?
Automatic floating covers are compatible with almost any type of pool on a regular basis. Please contact us to confirm if your specific design is feasible.
what kind of maintenance does a floating automatic cover require? Maintenance is simple:
- Periodic cleaning of the blades to avoid dirt accumulation.
- Inspection of the motor and mechanical components (winder) at least once a year.
- Check the condition of the PVC or polycarbonate to detect possible damage due to prolonged exposure to sun or chemicals. No special maintenance beyond this basic care is required.
where is the motorized cover system installed?
It depends on the type:
- On submerged covers, the motor is installed in a hidden compartment next to the pool.
- On above-ground covers, the motorized reel is placed on the stone or edge of the pool. Both systems are easy to operate by means of switches or remote controls.
what are the advantages of solar louvers?
Solar louvers are made of transparent polycarbonate that absorbs solar energy to heat water. They are ideal for cold climates or pools looking to reduce energy costs associated with water heating. They cannot be installed in hot areas such as Andancia.
how much weight can a floating automatic cover support?
Capacity varies by model: Most can support up to 100 kg at the center without deformation, ensuring safety from accidental falls by children or pets. Consult the manufacturer's technical specifications to confirm this capacity.
is it possible to fully automate the system?
No, for safety reasons, the user will always have to be there to activate the winding or unwinding.
Automatic Floating Pool Covers: Safety, Comfort, Efficiency and Elegance
Automatic floating pool covers represent the most advanced solution for protecting, heating and maintaining the water in optimal conditions. Designed to combine technology, aesthetics and functionality, they allow for efficient pool management with minimal effort on the part of the user. Thanks to their automated operation, these covers improve safety, reduce energy costs and minimize maintenance.
why choose automatic floating covers?
- Advanced safety: They function as a protective barrier, preventing access to the pool when it is covered. They are designed to support the weight of children or pets, complying with regulations such as NF P90-308.
- Energy savings and sustainability: They reduce heat loss by up to 70%, thus reducing the use of artificial air conditioning. In addition, some versions incorporate solar louvers that take advantage of the sun's energy to heat water naturally.
- Ease of use: Thanks to their motorized system, they allow the pool to be covered and uncovered at the touch of a button, or even via a mobile app.
- Reduced maintenance: By preventing the entry of dirt, they keep the water cleaner for longer, which reduces the use of chemical products.
- Reduced evaporation: They reduce water loss by evaporation by up to 90%, protecting the water level and chemical treatments.
Types and operation of automatic floating covers
These covers are mainly classified as elevated and submerged:
- Aboveground covers: they are ideal for renovations or existing pools. They do not require construction work and can be solar-powered, such as the Bellasun model, which offers up to 25 opening cycles on a single charge and a plug & play design.
- Submerged covers: They are integrated into a hidden compartment in the pool shell, ideal for new construction or major renovations. Thanks to systems such as the MP fixing kit, installation is greatly simplified.
- Both versions can integrate motors on the shaft or in the dry well, and allow the installation of visible or submerged covers according to the desired aesthetic design.
Floating covers are composed of slats that glide smoothly over the water. They are manufactured in different materials:
- Extruded PVC: Good quality/price ratio, resistant to chemical products.
- Solar polycarbonate: More durable, resistant to hail and high temperatures. Improves thermal efficiency of water.
- The louvers are available in different colors (white, gray, sand, translucent blue, black, etc.) and formats (cut square or shaped), adapting to the aesthetic and technical needs of each installation.
Technology and connectivity
- State-of-the-art motors: Silent, with limit switches and disengageable safety systems.
- Intelligent connectivity: Applications such as Cover Connect allow the cover to be controlled from the cell phone via Bluetooth, without the need for Internet connection.
- Multifunction remote control: Wireless remote control with code protection and integrated Bluetooth receiver, compatible with most rollers. Autonomy up to 3 years with lithium battery.
Recommendations according to pool type
- Residential and small: Bellasun or Solar Cover Automatic for its solar efficiency and simplicity.
- Family and medium: Octeo offers robustness, design and advanced technology.
- High use or public pools: Covrex Classic provides maximum safety and durability.
