There is a company in the Northeast that just does covers and could give you a quote. They are called Coversafe. (CoverSafe Automatic Pool Covers - Coverstar Installation & Maintenance) They specialize in Automatic Pool Covers. They would be able to give you a quote on what you are looking for...

I would not recommend standing or jumping off of a metal lid. they are not rated for that weight from any of the manufacturers. Some do have a stone lid option that is designed with brackets that are strong enough to hold the weight though.

Depending on the shape of your pool an Auto cover is a great option. It is a solid cover that can easily hold the weight of a child if they fall on and keeps leaves and debris out of the pool when it is closed. They normally take less than a minute to open and close. They can be installed during...

If you get a dark color then it will transfer heat into your pool and keep it warm. More often people are looking to get a cooler with an automatic cover because it is too hot.

There is a way to do an auto cover with a free form pool that keeps that look. you have to cantilever the concrete over the rectangle cover. You have to get an engineer to make sure the concrete will hold enough weight on the cantilever but I have seen it and it looks pretty amazing.

You use a metal fish tape to run along the back of the track and some heavy thread or wire to pull it along the front. Or you can just pull the track out and run it by hand Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

is the motor turning at all when you run the switch, it sounds like it might be a shear pin inside that has broken. I personally hate the sensors that some people use. I have only had problems with them. If you are watching the cover close you should have no need for a sensor. the magnet in...

That sounds like what I have heard, are you going through Coverstar Eastcoast? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

From your pictures I can see that the track was installed incorrectly. This is most likely the cause of the tear. The encapsulation is too far into the box, this has caused the track to be too far into the box. The guide feed on the end of the track should only be 1 - 2 inches into the box from...

Is the tear in line with a lid bracket? if the cover is run without the lid on or if it pops up then it can tear the cover. When you open the cover all the way can you feel space around the entire cover in the box. It looks like there is a cut leading up to the tear. Maybe a screw or edge...

Thanks, happy to share my knowledge. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This happens a lot. Most likely the rope broke last time you closed the pool. Then when you opened it the ropes came out of the pulleys and got tangled, Or if it broke while you were using it the tension snapped it back. This can be a simple fix. If you are handy and have some patience. You...

Sorry, I have seen a safety covers break coping when placed too closely. I have seen auto covers pull down pool walls Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
