FAQ - Montreal

Can I Choose A Color For My Pool Cover?
The vinyl pool cover is available in 11 standard and 5 Designer Series colours. The composite polymer panel for the recessed cover and bench comes in 6 appealing colours. Please note that there may be slight colour variations in the vinyl liner and/or polymer panels.
Is The Automatic Pool Cover An Energy-saving Device?

Yes. Our three pool cover systems are passive solar collectors, effectively maintaining heat while lowering pool and spa operating costs. These covers provide substantial benefits by significantly reducing evaporation—which accounts for 75% of heat loss.

As a result, you, the pool owner, can expect the highest return on investment (ROI) from any pool product. The U.S. Department of Energy has conducted a comprehensive analysis on this topic. Click on the link to start saving energy today!

Does The Automatic Pool Cover Help To Heat The Pool?

The AquaMatic pool cover is made of heavy-gauge, 16-18 oz vinyl, strengthened with high-strength Dacron mesh.
Will The Automatic Pool Cover Extend My Swimming Season?

Is The Aquamatic Pool Cover A Safety Cover?

The primary function of the HydraMatic and EZCover pool cover systems is to ensure your family's safety. In contrast, the HydraLux and AquaTenta are considered energetic pool covers and do not provide safety features.

Aquamatic pool covers comply with the California pool barrier code for safety and closure. Click on the link to view the guidelines for pool safety barriers as outlined in the Pool Safety Act.

Are The Systems ASTM And AFNOR Approved?
Yes, the Hydramatic and EZ-Cover pool cover systems have been tested by UL and exceed the ASTM F1346-91 standard. Click the link to view the UL certification for ASTM F1346-91.
Should I Always Add Chemicals In The Same Way?
Yes, but the chemicals needed to disinfect your pool should be halved if you are using the AquaMatic or AquaTenta pool cover system.
Are There Any Problems With A Saltwater Pool?
When using salt water chlorination for pools, removing the cover can cause residual water to run off and collect around the peripheral components in the cover recess. As this water evaporates, it leaves behind a residue of pure salt. While Aquamatic has improved its components to withstand this environment, this salt residue can still lead to corrosion over time (as we all know, salt can be damaging, much like it does to cars). To minimize the risk of corrosion, it’s essential to maintain proper chemical management of your pool water and to adhere to the recommended instructions and maintenance schedule for your disinfection equipment. We also advise rinsing your mechanism with fresh water at least once a month. Please be aware that not all warranties are valid for saltwater and bromine pools.
Do Pool Covers Come With A Warranty?

Yes, our pool and spa covers come with some of the industry's best and most comprehensive warranties. We offer the following warranties:

  • Hydramatic and HydraLux: 20-year limited warranty on hydraulic components
  • EZ-Cover: 7-year limited warranty on the cover
