An automatic pool cover is a reliable and convenient way to keep your family safe around the pool while preserving its water level, chemistry, and retain heat for a longer period of time.
These retractable electric or manual pool covers also make effective safety barriers for your children, prevent debris from falling into your pool, and reduce your maintenance and heating costs. With a simple turn of a key or touch of a button, your warm, clean pool will be ready to go for a fun day of swimming.
Automatic pool covers are made of the highest quality vinyl that is shrink & fade resistant as well as durable enough to walk on – though not recommended. The tracks are made of rust resistant aircraft grade aluminum, ensuring safety for children & pets. In addition, the inside fabric helps with insulation, while the outside fabric is resistant to the sun’s UV
rays. Investing in an automatic pool cover not only allows you to extend your swim season, but also increases the longevity of your pool water’s chemistry. Local resellers will work with you to understand your pool cover needs and provide you with a quote & estimate.

Production time does vary depending on the time of year as well as supply chain demands. Most covers, once ordered, will take about 3 weeks to receive and can then be scheduled for installation. Installation time will vary based on the resellers installation lead time. Check with their office for current installation time frames.
Other time frame factors to consider: It usually takes about two weeks to manufacture electric pool covers, one week to ship them, and one day for installation. This complete process can typically take between 30 to 45+ days.
Resellers typically will not order a cover until the pool is at the correct stage in the building process or already an existing pool. Plus deposits made and contracts fully signed. If there are any delays, including unreceived payments, pool construction delays, additional repairs to an existing system, or other dilemmas, this time could vary.
The answers below will help you decide if your pool qualifies for an automatic pool cover based on your pool shape and layout.

New Build - Yes ✔
If you are building a new pool, you can incorporate an automatic pool cover into your build.
Existing Pool - Maybe ?
It will depend on your pool’s shape and deck layout. Read more about the system below to see if your existing pool can accommodate one.
New Build - Most families who are building a new pool and want an automatic pool cover are looking for an under track/under guide pool cover system. This means the hardware for the cover and tracks are hidden in a vault and under the coping. The pool needs to be built with the correct cover specs in order to accommodate the cover (Download Vault Spec Sheet Here). The fabric runs the length of the pool (under your coping) and rolls up on the housing system that sits just past the deepest end of your pool, under the coping. The housing system is covered by a standard aluminum lid. You can also choose to upgrade the aluminum lid to a “walk on lid”. These brackets can hold your existing coping stones so the lid seamlessly blends in with your existing deck and is almost undetectable.
Existing Pool - If your pool shape qualifies to have a system, you will have what is referred to as a “Deck Mounted” track system. These tracks will guide the fabric along the length of the pool. The fabric is rolled up on a permanent housing system that sits at the deep end of your pool (typically 3 feet back from the edge of the pool) on top of your deck. You can opt to add for an additional charge, a bench to enclose the cover from the elements year round. A key switch or optional keypad are installed within site of the pool (as required by law). A quick turn of the key will open and close the cover.
New Build - $7,000-$15,000*
Existing Pool - $7,500-$10,000*
Replacement Fabric for an Existing Pool Cover - $2,000- $4,500
*Items that can bring the cost up include but are not limited to are: Larger than average pools, hydraulic pool cover, encapsulated tracks, separate covers for a spa or L shaped pool, infinity edge applications, etc.

Existing Pool - You can email photos of your pool to your local installer. Be sure to include the pool dimensions in feet. Sending as many photos as possible will help to best assist with providing the most accurate cost.
New Build - It depends on where you are in your building process. Your pool needs to be measured for final cover dimensions. These dimensions cannot be done based on spec sheets from your builder and need to be confirmed in person, once the pool has tile and coping. Measurements are taken directly off our installed track and your cover is ordered and production starts. Depending on the time of the year (spring and summer are the busiest!), production can take 2-3 weeks. Covers are then shipped out. If construction is far enough along then installation can be scheduled. Installation time frames vary depending on the time of year. Typically within 2-3 weeks in fall/winter and anywhere from 2-4 weeks in spring/summer.
Existing Pool - If you are simply adding a system to your existing deck and your pool meets the standards for installation, then the cover is measured and ordered as soon as a technician is available to complete an on-site measure. The on-site measure confirms all the final dimensions. Depending on the time of the year (spring and summer are the busiest!), production can take 2-3 weeks. Covers are then shipped out. Once covers are received and confirmed as correct, you are contacted to arrange an installation date. Installation time frames vary depending on the time of year. Typically within 2-3 weeks in fall/winter and anywhere from 2-4 weeks in spring/summer.
New Build - Customer is responsible for building the vault (download vault specs here) to the correct dimensions including all drainage and any electrical runs from the power source to the vault location (both conduit & wires). Electrical also needs to be run from the system to the switch location. All electrical must be ready before cover can be scheduled for installation. If any return visits are required due to incomplete work, they are billed at an additional cost to the customer. Depending on the time of year and current workload we may not be available for extra tech visits even at an additional cost. If an optional walk on lid has been added to the system, the customer provides the stones/concrete at time of system installation. If not provided at time of system installation, a return trip is required and billed as an additional cost to the customer.
Existing Pool - If a customer would like electricity pulled to the cover they are responsible for any electrical runs from the power source to the cover location (both conduit & wires). Electrical also needs to be run from the system to the switch location (both conduit & wires). All electrical must be ready before cover can be scheduled for installation. If any return visits are required due to incomplete work, they are billed at an additional cost to the customer.

The motor is a stainless steel shaft, and the gears are oil bathed, which helps to eliminate common motor issues. The motor is also sealed from water, meaning it can operate if it’s completely underwater and the housing is flooded.
We all know pool water can be corrosive, but these stainless steel bracket components are what make Coverstar the most durable choice.
This protects the motor from undergoing too much stress and failing. Our competitors often use an electronic limiter that can easily fail in harsh pool water.
These are essentially shock absorbers that are forgiving and can self-adjust during use. These also make your automatic pool cover easy to install and adjust.
Rope pulleys are essential in the overall performance of your automatic pool cover. Our tried and tested pulleys are the most reliable in the industry.
All-Safe installs the most reliable safety products available. All of our automatic pool covers exceed ASTM safety standards and we offer the best manufacturer’s warranty in the industry.
Our retractable covers for inground pools are designed with a fabric made of nylon fibers that go through a molten vinyl process. The fabric is resistant to shrinking, wicking, fading, and algae growth, as well as damage from chlorine, and abrasion. We also waterproof the motor with bi-directional, auto-stop and watertight electrical cables. An electric torque limiter is used for added safety protection. The parallel tracks are made from aircraft-grade aluminum and our rope reels are made of 413 die-cast aluminum rope reel and oil-impregnated brass bushings with hard-coat anodized and architectural grade powder coating to minimize maintenance.
Although we do not recommend standing or walking on them unless there is an emergency, it feels similar to standing on a waterbed.
While protecting your children is always our top priority, automatic pool covers do so much more. A special fabric and webbing is used inside the track to insulate your pool
This insulation helps to prevent evaporation and loss of heat. With these covers, you won’t need to top off your pool water quite as often, and the water will stay warmer for longer. This helps you operate your heater more efficiently and keep the pool at a comfortable swimming temperature for a much longer swimming season!
Retractable pool covers are also opaque, and completely block out sunlight while the pool is closed. Sunlight exposure makes sanitizing chemicals like chlorine break down more quickly in the water, as well as contribute to the growth of algae. With an opaque cover, you’ll get much better value out of your chemistry.

Due to the many variations in monitors, phones, and browsers, color samples and product examples may appear different on different screens. Computers and mobile devices are not all calibrated equally and color reproduction on the Internet is not precise. The same is true for printed items such as brochures and other sales literature.
In addition, the colors of our products photograph differently under different lighting conditions. For example, photos taken in full sunlight will vary from photos taken on a cloudy or overcast day. Similarly, shadows from nearby objects can affect the color and transparency of our products. If a precise color or specific shade is important, please inspect the actual color of your product prior to installation.
Many of our products’ materials are not available through typical stores and vendors and therefore must be custom manufactured specifically for our use. In order to control costs and provide you with the best value possible, our raw materials are produced in large batches and can often take several months to receive. The colors of our materials can, and often do, vary slightly from batch to batch. Although we make every effort to minimize color variations, we cannot be responsible for these differences when they occur. If a precise color or specific shade is important, please inspect the actual color of your product prior to installation.
For example, we use the name “putty” to describe some of our products. Your idea of the color “putty” may be different than someone else’s idea of “putty”. In addition, products may have the same color name but may not be the exact same color. For example, we have different shades of “black”. Please do not order using color names as your only guide. If a precise color or specific shade is important, please inspect the actual color of your product prior to installation.
If it is important that your product be an exact color or shade, it is highly recommended that you inspect the actual product prior to its installation and address any concerns with your local independent installer. Most independent installers do not offer refunds or accept returns due to color variations.
