Automatic Slatted Covers are most popular for heat retention in indoor and outdoor swimming pools. Automatic Covers are normally installed in newly built swimming pools and are most popular because they can be hidden out of sight. (We also cater for existing swimming pools). The motor for an Automatic Cover is hydraulic and needs to be housed outside the swimming pool in an access chamber drive. Our standard motor is positioned in a pit at the side of the swimming pool, however longer motor shafts can be used and the motor can be housed outside for an indoor swimming pool.
