Slatted pool covers

Slatted covers with different roller positions

A slatted cover consists of slats that extend over the water surface and roll up when the pool is used. The category includes above-ground models such as Top One and Top Comfort, as well as submerged AquaTop solutions. The first key distinction is where the roller will be positioned and how much installation space is available.

An above-ground roller stands at the pool edge and needs space for fixing and access around it. A submerged system is planned as part of the pool construction, with room for the shaft, rolled-up slats and access to the equipment. For an existing pool, this can affect the extent of the modifications required.

Measure more than the pool width

The products come in different widths, but the order must also account for the pool's length and shape. Steps, corners and projecting sections may require a special design. Document the waterline and check the measuring instructions for the selected system. A drawing makes it easier to establish how the slats will move between the pool and the roller.

Compare which motor, controls, slats and anchors are included. Also check the material's conditions of use and how the cover should be managed in winter. Its safety function must be assessed from the model documentation and completed installation; it cannot be determined simply because the product is called a slatted cover.

Choose the range to suit the installation
