Automated Pool Cover FAQs
Common questions from South African pool owners
How much does an automated pool cover cost in South Africa?
Automated pool cover pricing depends on your pool size, cover type (slatted or vinyl), automation level, and site-specific installation requirements. Every project is unique, so we provide free, no-obligation quotes within 24 hours. Pricing includes site assessment, custom manufacturing, professional installation, and a 10-year warranty.
How long does an automated pool cover take to open or close?
Modern automated pool covers deploy or retract in under 60 seconds for an average 8 m × 4 m residential pool. The exact time depends on pool length and motor specification — slatted PoolDeck systems typically operate at 0.15–0.20 m per second.
Will an automated pool cover work during load shedding?
Yes. Our premium automated systems include an optional battery backup that delivers 5–10 cover/uncover cycles during Eskom load-shedding stages. This is essential for South African households where unpredictable power outages can leave a pool exposed.
Are automated pool covers safe for children and pets?
Yes. Every automated cover we install meets SANS 10134:2018 and includes automatic safety stop sensors that halt operation if an obstruction is detected. When closed, our slatted and vinyl covers support a minimum of 220 kg — enough to safely hold an adult and child.
Slatted vs vinyl automated pool cover — which is better?
Slatted PoolDeck covers offer superior aesthetics, walk-on capability, and longer lifespan (15+ years), making them ideal for new builds and luxury renovations. Vinyl automated covers cost less, retrofit more easily to existing pools, and provide stronger thermal insulation. Both meet SA safety standards.
Can I retrofit an automated cover to my existing pool?
Yes — vinyl automated covers retrofit to most existing rectangular pools without major construction. Slatted PoolDeck covers usually require coping modifications or a sub-deck cavity, which is best done during a renovation. Our team conducts a free site assessment to confirm feasibility.
