Poollock Hydraulic Automatic Safety Cover
Overview
The PoolLock V5 Manual Easy Glide Safety Cover is an improvement from any other manual system available on the market because the mechanism has a built-in gear (ratio 4:1). The cover is opened by using a crank handle which acts like a key and it is removable – great safety feature too! and closing the cover is done by pulling a harness.
This is the stepping stone to automation as this can be upgraded at any given time as all we do is remove the mechanism and install the Hydraulic mechanism and powerpack.
A V5 Manual can be installed with any of the beforementioned options (top track – top mechanism etc.)
Overview
Poollock Hydraulic Automatic Safety Cover
This option works for both small (5m x 3m) to very large pools (25m x 8m).
Other advantages of this system include:
Very long lifetime
Versatile and adaptable
No danger of electric related injuries because there are no electrical installations near the pool
• No motor damages caused by water
• Can handle up to 250 kg per m²
• Can open and close in less than 60 seconds
Installation Options
This type of installation is used only for rectangular newly build pools or pools which are being renovated. This is because the pocket profile with the under track must be installed under the coping tiles / decking. The mechanism is always installed in a concrete pit on the deep end side of the pool. Optional extras will be a vanishing lid system to accommodate the finishes of your pool (tiling or decking).
Advantages of this option includes no obstructions around the pool area and does not interfere with the aesthetics of the environment. It allows for effortless maintenance and is easily sustained.
If you are willing to have some work done around your pool, you can choose this type of installation. The principle is the same as described above except the mechanism is positioned in the pit bellow the deck level. The pit for the mechanism must be built. You can choose either wooden or polymer lid to cover the pit and decide whether to use the TOP (or FLAT) track.
If you are willing to have some work done around your pool, you can choose this type of installation. The principle is the same as described with the ‘under track – under mechanism option’ except the mechanism is positioned in the pit below the pool level. The pit for the mechanism must be built. Optional extras will be a vanishing lid system to accommodate the finishes of your pool (tiling, decking or steel).
Advantages of this option includes a simple installation process and easy maintenance.
You can choose this installation if you have an existing swimming pool and do not wish to have much work done around your pool. The track is installed parallel to each other down on top of your coping or decking and the mechanism sits finished level of pool. The top (or flat) track can be used for this installation and the mechanism can be covered with a bench for sitting on.
Advantages of this option includes quick turnaround on installation and easy maintenance.
This option is best for new pool builds as it is easier to implement the pit at building phase. The cover still operates on a track system but one side is mounted to the outside wall of the rim flow.
Advantages of this option includes no obstructions around the pool area and does not interfere with the aesthetics of the pool environment and the rim.
PoolLock Hydraulic Vinyl Cover options work well with free form pools (both existing and newly built). This option will work as long as we have a flat surface around the pool and enough space to install the tracks on the paving. The track is installed parallel to each other down on top of your coping or decking and the
mechanism sits finished level of pool. The top (or flat) track can be used for this installation and the mechanism can be covered with a bench.
