So you already have a pool and are looking into getting a cover. Can a Coverstar pool cover system be installed on your already existing pool??

Absolutely! Coverstar pool covers can be installed on existing pools. Whether you have an in-ground or above-ground pool, Coverstar offers a range of options and configurations to accommodate various pool designs and sizes.

Installation Process

Here’s a general overview of the installation process for a Coverstar pool cover on an existing pool:

1. Consultation and Measurements: Contact a professional pool cover installer or a representative from Coverstar to discuss your specific requirements. They will guide you through the process and take measurements of your pool to ensure a perfect fit.

2. Customization: Based on the measurements and your preferences, Coverstar will customize the pool cover to fit your pool’s dimensions, shape, and any unique features such as steps or irregular contours.

3. Track Installation: The next step involves installing the tracks that the pool cover will slide into. The tracks are typically mounted along the edges of your pool, either on the deck or directly into the pool coping.

4. Cover Installation: Once the tracks are in place, the Coverstar pool cover is carefully installed. The cover will be positioned within the tracks and tested to ensure smooth operation.

5. Motor and Control System: Depending on your chosen model, a motor and control system will be installed to automate the opening and closing of the pool cover. This can be operated via a wall-mounted control panel, a handheld remote, or even through a mobile app for advanced automation features.

6. Final Adjustments and Testing: After installation, the cover and its components will be adjusted, and a thorough testing process will be carried out to ensure proper functionality and alignment.

It’s important to note that the installation process may vary slightly depending on the specific requirements of your pool and the chosen Coverstar model. It is recommended to work with a professional pool cover installer who is familiar with Coverstar products to ensure a seamless installation.
