5. Winterisation advice
Winterisation advice is described below, however, it is
the installer's responsibility to recommend a solution
depending on the availability of the customer and the
geographical location of the swimming pool.
•
Carry out active winterisation by operating the
circulation of the water and filtering during the coldest
moments of the day (An anti-freeze thermostat can
trigger filtering as soon as the air temperature falls
below 0°).
•
Keep the water level normal, excess water will drain
from the overflow.
•
Clean the slats unrolled over the pool using a high-
pressure cleaner and then sweep the pool and the
storage trench. Treat the water with winterisation
products.
•
Keep your cover unrolled over the body of water and,
if it is surrounded by a lot of vegetation, fit a netting,
permeable cover over it in order to avoid the decay
of leaves and other plant debris on the PVC slats. Do
not store the cover rolled with an accumulation of
leaves or debris which would trigger an irremediable
decaying process causing encrusted stains to form
on the PVC slats. This physical phenomenon is not
covered by the guarantee for the slats.
•
Protect the skimmers and piping exposed to freezing.
•
Protect the motors from flooding.
•
Cut the power supply to the electric box.
•
Do not operate the cover or touch the slats when
they are ice bound. If there is a risk of the pool icing
over, have the submerged shaft and the roller motor
removed.
•
For models using solar power, the batteries can remain
in place if the solar panel is not covered and continues
its charging function. If the panel is covered and can
no longer charge using sunlight, the batteries must be
disconnected and stored in a dry place. When putting
back into service, let the batteries charge (a half day of
sunlight) before operating the cover.

Guarantee
Our one year guarantee only covers the replacement
or the repair of a defective part as well as all defects
or faults in the context of the installation, use,
maintenance and winterisation in compliance with our
instructions.
It only comes into effect on the shipping date if the
reseller or installer returns us the defective parts
postage paid for analysis.
The guarantee covers all of the electrical equipment
providing that the wiring was carried out in accordance
with our instructions and in compliance with the
standard C 15.100.
The guarantee does not cover the immersion of motors
not designed for this purpose and the consequences of
lightning.
Apart from the general one-year guarantee, we grant
the following guarantees:
- sending the guarantee form duly completed within
8 days of the slatted cover's installation, gives right
to an extension of the geared motor guarantee
from 1 to 3 years free of charge
- the roller mechanics: 3 years (1)
- the slatted cover PVC slats: 3 year (2)
- solar panel: 10 ans
- batteries: 1 year.
(1) The guarantee covers the resistance of the
materials used with the exception of corrosion and
deterioration of certain materials due to the use of
any device producing an electro-chemical or electro-
physical reaction, which generally accelerates the
corrosion of metals.
(2) The guarantee covers the buoyancy, watertightness
and articulation of the slats. The guarantee does not
cover brownish stains and discolouration of the slats.
Distortion of the blue translucent solar slats caused
by use in disregard of our technical recommendations
is also excluded. Damage caused by hail is excluded.
All modifications to a slat voids the guarantee on the
apron.
All labour costs for removal, assembly, travel, water
supply, products, damages and interests as well as any
claims for compensation for any cause whatsoever are
excluded.
