1 - Poor Design from the start |
 |
|
Weak Points & Thin Bubble |
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
Regular cover manufacturing creates a stretched bubble
shape.
This leads to weak points.
These week points are first to fail. |
|
 |
|
 |
 |
|
Many products are fully or partly like this. |
 |
|
Our covers are produced with very even thickness. |
|
 |
 |
|
Our covers concentrate the "micron thickness" at the bottom layer. This is where extra thickness is needed the most - where the covers suffers attack from pool chemicals. |
|
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Most weak bubble shapes are not so obvious. |
|

2 - Polyethylene uses inferior UV and Oxidation Inhibitors |
|
 |
Early UV and Chemical Damage |
 |
 |
Poor quality covers become "brittle"
and
fade, often after only a couple of seasons.
|
 |
|
Covers break down for two reasons : |
|
 |
 |
|
1 - UV attack from the sun. |
 |
 |
|
2 - Oxidation due to pool chemicals. |
|
 |
 |
The highest quality pool covers use
polymers that: |
|
 |
 |
|
1 - Contain the best/maximum additives
to absorb/deal with UV damage, |
 |
 |
|
2 - Include additional additives to deal with
oxidation caused by pool chemicals. |
|
|
 |
|
 |
Above are two examples of early disintegration - these covers have become
"brittle".
The broken bubbles leave a huge mess to clean - thousands of plastic "bits". |
 |
 |
 |

 |
3 - Poor Quality Control |
 |
|
Delamination |
|
 |
 |
When buying a cover, you are trusting in the
quality and control of the manufacturing process.
|
 |
|
Pool covers are manufactured from two layers: |
 |
|
 |
|
1 - the top flat sheet, |
 |
|
|
2 - the bottom sheet (with the bubbles) |
|
 |
|
When these two layers are fused together, poor
quality control (e.g., inclusion of contaminants) can lead to "delamination" - separation of top and bottom layers. |
 |
|
|
This often becomes evident in hot weather when
the bubbles expand. |
|
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Take a look at this example of delamination.
You can see that water has entered the
space between the two cover layers. |
|

 |
A Real Warranty - How other warranties often mean little |
 |
|
An honest warranty normally provides a good indication of the pool cover's life expectancy. |
 |
 |
At issue - Not only the money you spend on a pool cover. Keep in mind, selecting, purchasing and then installing a pool cover can be a lot of work and effort.
Something best done only every 5-8 years and not every second season. |
 |
 |
But Unfortunately.... From our experience, the warranties of most other pool cover brands are worthless. For example: |
 |
 |
Who do you contact?
|
 |
Is there a company that will respond quickly? |
 |
What onerous requirements are there in order to make a simple claim? |
|
 |
 |
 |
* Warranties vary
by product and
are Pro-Rated |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
How do our pool cover and roller warranties work? |
 |
|
Given the quality of this product, we hardly ever hear of warranty issues - despite selling thousands of items each year.
|
 |
|
Should however there be any issues (over the comming years), we and this major supplier provide support - Quickly and professionally. |
 |
|
If in the comming years there is a warranty issue, you can either contact: |
 |
|
 |
The manufacturer directly, or |
 |
Or ourselves dirctly - we then make all the arrangements. |
