Automatic Pool Covers
Open and close your swimming pool cover with the turn of a key. Paramount Pools supplies automatic pool covers from market leaders Aquamatic and T&A (Technics & Applications) ensuring comfort and convenience.
Not only do automatic swimming pool covers save you time, but they also help you save water and energy throughout the year. A modern automatic pool cover system reduces evaporation and heat loss by providing impressive insulation. Fabric and slatted pool covers ensure protection from environmental damage, while retaining heat.
Safety covers manufactured by Paramount Pools feature pioneering Therma-foil fabric as an option for small swimming pools only. A cover that traps heat whilst remaining thin. This enables us to offer thermal blanket coverings for domestic pools, small hydrotherapy pools, and swim spas.
Covers to Fit a Range of Pool Sizes
Thanks to our range of sizing options, you can find the swimming pool cover that is right for you, with added flexibility to fit unusual pool shapes. For example, the Aquamatic Hydraulic Safety Cover is suitable for indoor and outdoor pools. Automatic covers also feature a range of options for lid housing, track styles, benches, and colours that allow buyers to customise their swimming pool to their heart’s content. Our selection provides ultimate convenience and cost savings, regardless of your existing pool.
Long-Lasting Safety
Another benefit of an automatic pool covering is its level of durability. When looking at a slatted cover system, our polycarbonate slats are manufactured using quadro-extrusion technology, improving impact-resistance, anti-algae protection and anti-condensation qualities.
We suggest a service to be carried out every 12-18 months on an Aquamatic Fabric safety cover, this helps to maintain the condition of the fabric as well as the working parts etc., with occasional cover cleaner treatments being sufficient.
Reinforced components are resistant to general wear and tear, while leading automatic covers have built-in features such as compensators and water removal systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you have an automatic pool cover for an inground pool?
Yes. An automatic cover for an inground pool is possible and is a great way to enhance the safety and heat retention of any existing pool.
How do you do automatic pool cover maintenance?
Maintaining an automatic pool cover is essential so it can function when it’s needed. Regular maintenance also helps ensure the cover lasts longer. We recommend taking the following maintenance actions for automatic pool covers every 1-2 weeks:
- Remove water, leaves, and debris.
- Inspect cover tracks.
- Clean the housing.
- Ensure there are no obstructions when opening and closing the cover.
- Check for fabric wear and tear and check the condition of the hems on the fabric cover.
How does an automatic swimming pool cover work?
Just like other types of cover, automatic swimming pool covers create a barrier across the top of the pool that minimise evaporation and protect the pool. These pool covers are operated automatically using either a key switch, remote or a control panel. Fabric covers use a hydraulic motor. Slatted covers use a tubular motor (the motor is inside of the roller) that cover and retract the covering on demand.
How much electricity does an automatic pool cover use?
One of the trade-offs with an automatic pool compared to a manual one is the energy use that comes with it. However, this is very small, and any additional energy use attributed to the cover will likely be counteracted by energy savings due to heat retention. If you have an outdoor pool and live in a colder climate, you can expect to use the cover less often and, therefore, use less energy.
