How the Aquamatic Cover Works
A PVC reinforced fabric is attached to an aluminium leading edge bar that spans the width of the pool. A unique 'Slider' mechanism is attached to the leading edge and this slides through aluminium tracking placed either side of the pool. A marine quality nylon cable cord is also attached to the fabric and threads up and down the tracks onto a 'Drive Mechanism', which activates a pair of cast aluminium reels. The Drive Mechanism is operated by a key operated switch. The cast aluminium reels wind up the nylon cables which pulls the fabric through the tracking to close the cover. To remove the cover the Drive Mechanism simply activates the 'Roller Tube', this winds up the fabric on to the tube just like a conventional reel system used for Solar Covers. What 'Powers' the Drive Mechanism? A 'Powerpack' hydraulic pump that pumps hydraulic oil through two 3/8" (9mm) hoses which are connected to TWO hydraulic motors via a reverse flow manifold. Each motor independently activates either the 'Reel System' or the 'Roller Tube' mentioned above. There is no electrical supply required to power the drive mechanism. Therefore, in the event that the pit housing is flooded, there will be no costly repair bills as all the components in the pit area are unaffected by water.
