Automatic Cover Safety Instructions

To maintain the safety of your Coverstar Automatic cover and pool area, please follow these instructions:

Pool Water Level

Maintain the water level at the middle elevation of the skimmer opening.  If the water drops below this level, the cover may operate under stress.  Never cover the pool without the proper water level under the cover.  The water supports all weight on the surface of the cover.  If the water level is low and water builds up on the cover, severe damage may be done to the coping and/or cover system.

Using the Pool Cover Pump

Water accumulation on the top of the cover can come from rain, snow, over spraying sprinklers, or leaks that may develop in the cover.  Even what appear to be small amounts of water spread over the whole surface of the cover can migrate and accumulate in depressions.  This is dangerous.  Any accumulation of water on the surface of the cover must be removed immediately using the cover pump.  The cover is not a safety cover unless the pump is in place. 

Key Switch Location

All controls for the cover system must be located where the pool is completely visible during the operation of the cover.  All plants and shrubs should be maintained for continuous visibility. 

Partially Covered Pools

It is extremely important to always cover or uncover the pool completely.  Never leave the pool partially covered.  A partially cover pool presents a serious danger as people or pets may drown under the cover. 

Aluminum Lid

The aluminum lid is mounted on top of the finished pool deck and is used to cover the housing.  It is not inteded for anyone to walk or step on this lid.  It can be slippery when wet and walking on it can loosen the support brackets uner it.  Instruct children not to step on the lid.
