Coverstar participates in Latham Pool Builder Academy


Twice a year, Latham organizes the Pool Builder Academy to give pool builders from around the country an opportunity to receive hands on experience while helping build a pool from start to finish in 3 ½ days.  Those that attend the academy vary in their experience within the pool industry.  Some are new pool builders who are just starting out.  Others are working in pool service and want to learn and expand into the construction side of the business.  Regardless of their experience level, they come with a desire to learn and a willingness to work hard to build a pool.  

This most recent academy was held Oct 10-14 in Pell City Alabama.  The recipient of the pool was Grace Harbor, a women’s drug and alcohol rehabilitation center.  As the project came to a close just before lunch on the 4th day, we had the opportunity to have pictures and visit with the women who are residents at Grace Harbor.  They were absolutely thrilled with the pool and very appreciative that we, along with the other companies involved, donated the pool and cover system.

The Pool Builder Academy has given Coverstar the opportunity to, not only give back to the community, but it has also allowed us to meet many new pool builders and let them see our products first hand.<

Better To Be Safe Then Sorry


Children are most at risk when parents believe they are safely inside the house. A cover is considered the number one safety feature you can have on your pool and/or spa. COVERSTAR systems use only cover fabric which is tested and certified to meed the American standard for testing and materials (ASTM) standard for safety pool covers. No needs to worry about unsafe access to a COVERSTAR safety cover because the power key switch is located in a lockable box. Any time there is electricity near a pool, you want to be sure it's safe. A COVERSTAR safety cover system is UL listed and certified to meet the stringent standard for automatic safety pool covers.

Standard Flushdeck Aluminum Lid

Flushdeck Aluminum Lid
Coverstar systems come standard with a durable and attractive aluminum lid. Pictured here is the standard flushdeck aluminum lid.

This is a flush lid where an aluminum panel is poured into the deck, then a lid is placed inside that panel and flush with the deck.

It's painted with architectural grade paint that increases durability and better matches pool decking.

Pool in Pool Application

Protect YOUR investment with a COVERSTAR Safety Cover.

The heavy duty vinyl fabric on all Coverstar Safety Covers provides optimal ultraviolet, chemical and mildew resistance. Superior fabric strength, tear resistance, and abrasion resistance are enhanced through the extruded coating process and closed polyester weave.

Unfortunately, an open pool is a magnet for whatever is in the air - leaves, dirt, bugs, you name it. If it's in the air, it can end up in your pool. Unless of course you have a Coverstar automatic pool cover.

And just like a lid on a jar, the cover keeps out most of the bad stuff that can make pool ownership less than enjoyable. Learn more about Coverstar Safety Covers.

Big Savings

Save Up To 70% On Pool Heating Costs
A Coverstar cover system can save you up to 70% on pool heating costs. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a pool cover is the best way to reduce heat loss and save on your pool's energy bill. Typical heating bills for pools to 78 degrees* in various parts of the country with and without a pool cover are shown below. Savings are even more dramatic at higher pool temperatures. In fact, just one pound of 82 degree water lost to evaporation takes a whopping 1,048 Btu of heat out of a pool.

Save Up To 90% On Water
Because a Coverstar cover system is easy to use, the cover can stay on the pool whenever you're not using it. The cover acts like a jar lid and prevents up to 90% of the water evaporation. When pool water evaporates, it takes heat and pool chemicals with it.

Save Up To 70% On Pool Chemicals
Pool chemicals are lost when your pool water evaporates. By stopping the evaporation process, your pools chemicals stay in the pool where they belong, saving you up to 70% on pool chemicals.

Save Up To 50% On Electricity
Pool filtering cycle times can be reduced dramatically, often by over 50% if a pool cover is used frequently. Instead of filtering a pool 8-10 hours a day for an uncovered pool, just a few hours is all that is typically needed.

Extend Pool Equipment Life Dramatically
Because the pool pump and heater are used much less when a cover is used frequently, their life can be extended dramatically. Their useful life is often doubled.

It Pays To $ave
An automatic safety cover is also a great investment. With all the savings provided by an automatic safety cover can pay for it's self in just a few years. No other pool product can do that. Pay yourself instead of your power and gas company!
