Reliable Mechanism
Ultra strong stainless steel bracket components make COVERSTAR the most durable and reliable automatic safety cover on the market. Nothing stands up better in the harsh corrosive pool environment. That's why COVERSTAR mechanism warranties are among the best in the industry.
Rope Pulleys
High quality rope pulleys are crucial to overall cover system performance. That’s why COVERSTAR uses special custom designed and field tested rope pulleys that provide maximum reliability in the pool environment.
Sealed Motor
The motor's hardened stainless steel shaft and oil bathed gears eliminate motor problems. It is sealed against water by the original motor manufacturer. The motor can operate even when completely submersed if the housing is temporarily flooded. Other less reliable means of water protection could mean an expensive motor repair.
Adjustable Torque Limiter
A mechanical torque limiter protects the motorized mechanism from too much stress. Other automatic covers often use an electronic torque limiter that can fail in the harsh pool environment.
High Tech PowerFlex™ Ropes
PowerFlex rope behaves like a shock absorber that allows it to be more forgiving and self adjusting during operation. It also resists distortion that is common with autocover ropes makes it easier to install and operate with fewer adjustments.
Keyed Safety Switch
The weather-proof toggle switch locks for secured access. In less than a minute your pool is open or closed.
Cover Fabric That Exceeds the Need
COVERSTAR fabrics are incredibly strong and durable. An advanced vinyl formulation and superior fabrication methods make it top of the line. No other automatic safety cover manufacturer offers so many exclusive features (see the cover fabric page). Choose from nine standard colors. Many other custom colors are available as options.
Stainless Steel Rope Guide Feed
The guide feed on the end of the cover guides prevent the ropes from snagging and tearing the cover. Because they are made from stainless steel, they last forever. Other systems use plastic guide feeds that can wear out quickly and cause the cover to come out of the guide and fall to the bottom of the pool.
Guide & Sliders
Heavy duty sliders are the strongest in the industry. An extra slide channel prevents binding and stress that wears on the mechanism. Sliders without these features can bind in the guides, causing jerky motion of the cover in operation and causing early failure.
