If you have an existing swimming pool without an automatic cover, you can retro-fit it with a modern integrated swimming pool safety cover system. While this requires some modifications to the pool structure, it provides a seamless built-in cover that enhances safety, lowers maintenance costs and improves energy efficiency. To integrate an automatic pool cover, some alterations need to be made such as removing and reinstalling the coping stones, carefully dismantling and rebuilding a chamber to allow space for the cover housing and track system. The result is a sleek, low-profile automatic safety cover that retracts fully into the housing when open.
An integrated pool cover delivers excellent long-term benefits. It acts as a safety barrier keeping children and pets out when closed. It minimises debris and reduces chemical loss, reducing maintenance needs substantially. For heated pools, the cover traps heat and water vapour leading to significant energy savings over time. While there are some upfront construction costs for a retro-fit installation, an integrated automatic safety cover provides increased safety, convenience and operational savings that make it an excellent investment for an existing pool.
