Safety Information
The Retractable Security Cover is manufactured by Cover Pools, the largest pool cover manufacturer in the
world. It has been manufactured to meet the stringent standards of the American Society For Testing and
Materials (A.S.T.M. F1346). The cover comes with a latching device to prevent unwanted entry by a small
child.
The reason for the A.S.T.M. F1346 safety standard is to make certain that the cover can prevent drowning,
particularly of small children who may try to climb in and around the cover. When installed outdoors,
provision is also made to remove rainwater that may accumulate on the surface of the cover that could also be
a drowning hazard.
Drowning has become the second leading cause of accidental death for children under the age of five in the
United States. In five states, drowning in swimming pools and spas is the leading cause of death for children
under the age of five.
The cover meets the A.S.T.M. F1346 standards only if the installer uses all the materials provided by the
manufacturer in the manner prescribed. Particular attention must be paid in following the manufacturer's
instructions for the installation of the latching device to prevent unwanted entry by a small child. In addition,
all outside installations must employ a cover pump to automatically remove rainwater from the surface of the
cover. Pools of rainwater that may accumulate on top of the cover are also a drowning hazard that must be
addressed in order to meet the A.S.T.M. criteria.
Additional Considerations
Cover Mounting Brackets-
These two optional steel brackets and bracing angles are used to mount the retractable security cover at either
end of the pool so that the fabric leaves the roller and enters the track at a very shallow angle (see diagram on
page 2). In this configuration, the resistance is minimized, making the handle very easy to turn. Also, the
cover roller is low and unobtrusive. The cover rolls with the dry side out to minimize water on the floor. This
cover mounting method is inappropriate for fully in-ground installations, unless used in conjunction with a
"Power Wheel". Please call our Customer Service Department to discuss this option.
The brackets and angles bolt easily to the corners of the pool using the same holes and bolts that are used to
assemble the pool panels (see drawing on page 5). Be sure to leave at least 24" from the inside of the pool
wall to the finished wall where the roller handle is turned. Only 18" is required for the roller and fabric.
