Can an Automatic Pool Cover be Added to an Existing Pool?

Are you looking to add an automatic pool cover to your existing in-ground pool? If so, you're in luck! Automatic covers for track on deck pools can be added to an in-ground pool at any time, making it the perfect solution for existing pools. The installation process is quite similar for all types of automatic covers, and Aquamatic manufactures them for virtually any shape of pool. With the help of an automatic cover pump, you can reduce pool sanitizer needs and keep water more balanced. Read on to learn more about adding an automatic pool cover to your existing pool. When it comes to installing your automatic cover, there are a few options. We cover existing pools by placing a low-profile track near the edge of the pool. The deck mechanism can be housed underground (recessed) or on top of the platform (platform mounted). Our unique and patented injection molded composite polymer panels will be used to create the lid (for recessed installation) or a bench for deck-mounted installation. Thanks to Coverstar's wide range of models and options, automatic pool covers can work with most pool shapes and sizes. The tracks are placed on the deck at the edge of the pool and sit flush with the deck surface. For the standard C-channel vinyl pool cover or brick pool cover, a combined track is installed that has a track for the vinyl liner and a space for the cable track to be installed, just below the coping. Under Guide systems are embedded in the pool wall or mounted on the bottom of the rectangular pool end cap, allowing the slopes to go virtually unnoticed. The price range for an automatic cover may vary depending on the overall design of your pool and the customizations you choose. When the cover is opened, the rope pulls the cover back and the rope unwinds from a small reel of rope while the cover is wound onto a large cover reel. They have become a popular choice for pool owners who want a sturdy and durable pool cover that is simple and reliable. However, they are not completely safe and could be a hazard to young babies if the cover has several inches of rainwater that is not pumped with a cover pump.
