Cover Pool vs Automatic Pool Cover and Pure Silk vs Intellichlor
Comments (5)Hello Barrysag, Our Hydramatic hydraulic automatic pool cover system has the longest most complete warranty on the market at 20 years, including the motors and controllers. Those items on other brands are usually only warrantied for 3 years. And those are your high cost components. Aquamatic is the oldest independent automatic cover manufacturer in the world, and we hold more patents and intellectual property than ALL other covers combined! Regarding salt, the same conditions apply to ALL cover manufacturers. When the water leaves the vessel, and said water evaporates, that leaves a pure salt residue. That is very corrosive (think rust belt in the northeast, what does salt do to road and cars). While we have many, many customers that have salt pools with our cover, and have no issue, there are many that do. The key is maintenance. Meaning you need to rinse the mechanism on a frequent basis, and also clean the cover surface more often. Salt leaves a white chalky residue on the cover surface which beyond not looking nice, will also prematurely dry out the plasticizers in the vinyl. The peripheral maintenance required with salt is not worth the perceived benefits.

Comments (9)If you are still working on this project, check with the San Juan pools distributor in your area. The closest may be Tulsa. A San Juan fiberglass pool may hold up better for you in your freeze/thaw conditions as well as unstable Oklahoma clay and earthquakes than a gunite pool would. Also familiarize yourself with the wide array of really beautiful pool cages that are available on the market today. You can get structures that are telescoping glass for varying seasons if you wanted to extend the swim season. I know it seems impossible with a quarter-million dollar budget that you might not get everything you want, but once you start adding in all the extras like water features, landscaping, privacy fencing, and a full kitchen/bath house, the size and scope of the project may change....See Moreparadigmdawg
