"This was one of the worst decisions I have ever taken. Said he works on one pool at a time, that was a lie. Said he could have our pool done in 6 weeks, lied, it was scheduled to start in may and end in June, it is now December, and the pool still leaks. He ordered the wrong liner, then, put a hole in it and had to hire another company to patch our new liner. Tried to add charges without us agreeing. When we looked at the contract, it stated that any additional charges will be agreed to in writing. Overcharged us for a $500 Polaris cleaner, stating it was worth $1350. Had to repair the pool frame because the side collapsed, not once, but twice. Put the skimmer near the most heavily trafficked area, did not order permits, and tried to have us pull permits (do not do this. It will be your responsibility if anything goes wrong). After the second payment, he basically stopped working our pool and we would have to text him every day asking what was going on. He was going to use the wrong wire that would have burned out because it was not the proper size. Placed the pool light switch as far away from the house as possible. Poured the step higher than the foundation and now we have water pooling when it rains. This was by far, the most inexperienced contractor I have ever had. He has no business owning a pool company. Avoid at all costs, no matter the savings you think you will get. Run away!"

The lifespan of automatic pool covers varies by component. Cover fabrics require replacement every five to six years, costing between $2,000 and $5,000, depending on size and material quality. Mechanical elements like motors function for five to ten years before needing replacement at $450 plus labor. The tracking system and housing unit can last considerably longer with proper care. Scheduling professional maintenance one to three times yearly at $150 to $200 per service helps maximize the operational life of all components.
While automatic covers require a larger initial investment, they provide significant advantages that often justify the premium. The convenience of one-touch operation encourages more consistent use, maximizing energy savings that can reach 50% to 70% on heating costs. The enhanced safety features, reduced chemical requirements, and decreased water evaporation deliver ongoing operational savings. These benefits outweigh the higher upfront expense for households that use their pools frequently.
Most existing pools can be retrofitted with automatic covers, though rectangular shapes accommodate them more easily than custom configurations. On-deck track systems offer the most straightforward installation for existing pools since they require minimal structural modifications. Recessed track systems necessitate more substantial deck alterations but provide a cleaner appearance. A professional assessment is essential to determine which system best suits your pool's specific layout and structural characteristics.
Proper maintenance includes promptly removing standing water and debris to prevent excessive weight on the cover. Use manufacturer-approved cleaning solutions for periodic washing according to recommended guidelines. Keep tracks clear of dirt and obstructions that could cause alignment problems or motor strain. Professional servicing one to three times yearly allows technicians to inspect mechanical components, lubricate moving parts, and make necessary adjustments before minor issues develop into major problems requiring costly repairs.
