Automatic Pool Cover Safety Standards
When you invest in a pool cover, you want to ensure you’re getting the best quality product that meets all of the necessary safety standards. While every state has its own mandatory pool barrier codes, pool covers must meet safety standards set by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM).
Coverstar automatic cover systems have been tested and meet the safety standards outlined in ASTM F1346-91. These guidelines were created to reduce the risk of drowning by inhibiting pool access to children under five years of age.
How Safe Are Automatic Pool Covers?
One of the primary safety benefits of Coverstar automatic pool covers is their ability to prevent unauthorized access to the pool. When the cover is closed, it forms an impenetrable barrier over the water surface, making it difficult for children, pets, or wildlife to accidentally fall into the pool. This helps to eliminate the risk of drowning incidents, particularly for young children who may wander near the pool unsupervised.
Pool covers are often more reliable than other safety equipment, like fences, because they create a barrier that directly seals your pool off. Even with a fence, if someone is able to get in the pool area, a pool cover will prevent them from entering the pool without your permission.
While pool covers are the best way to add an additional layer of protection around your swimming pool, they are not a substitute for proper pool safety or adult supervision.
Another safety benefit of automatic pool covers is their ability to prevent debris from entering the pool. When the cover is closed, it acts as a shield, effectively blocking leaves, branches, and other unwanted materials from falling into the water. This not only keeps the pool cleaner and reduces maintenance efforts but also eliminates potential hazards caused by slippery surfaces or clogged filters.
There’s no need to worry about unwanted access to your pool because the Coverstar control switch requires a key to unlock the cover plate or a four-digit code to gain access. With their automated functionality, these covers can be effortlessly opened or closed with the push of a button or the flip of a switch. This makes it convenient for pool owners to quickly and easily secure the pool, enhancing safety measures and providing peace of mind.
Pool Cover Safety: Protect Your Loved Ones and Enjoy Your Pool
One of the primary safety benefits of Coverstar automatic pool covers is their ability to prevent unauthorized access to the pool. When the cover is closed, it forms a solid barrier over the water surface, making it difficult for children, pets, or wildlife to accidentally fall into the pool. This helps to eliminate the risk of drowning incidents, particularly for young children who may wander near the pool unsupervised.
The Pool & Hot Tub Alliance (PHTA) recommends a layered approach to pool safety, which includes adult supervision, pool covers, and safety barriers and devices like alarms and screens.
Certain states, like Arizona and California, have fencing requirements for residential pools, but an automatic pool cover can add an additional layer of protection on top of these structures, and be used as a substitute in areas with no fencing requirements.
According to the CDC, 10 people die each day from unintentional drowning, and two out of every 10 of these instances are children aged 14 or younger. Automatic pool covers can help to add a stronger layer of protection between loved ones and devastation, and help to ensure that your pool remains a fun, safe place for your family to enjoy.
Coverstar automatic pool covers provide peace of mind for pool owners by offering a layer of protection against potential accidents. The covers are designed to support the weight of an adult (even a helicopter) ensuring that even if someone accidentally steps onto the cover, they can remain on the surface without falling into the pool. This feature adds an extra level of safety, reducing the chances of accidents and providing a secure barrier for both people and pets.
