- Under Track Systems: Embedded in the pool wall or hidden on the bottom side of a rectangular pool’s coping,, these tracks create a seamless, integrated appearance.

- Recessed Standard Top Track Systems: Installed flush with the deck during construction, these tracks offer a low-profile finish with smooth operation.
Lids
Lid options help conceal your cover system, protecting the motor and track while blending seamlessly with your pool’s surroundings.
- Standard Flat Aluminum Lid: Anodized for durability, this surface-mounted lid ensures low-profile protection and reduces risk of tripping.

Coping
Coping is the edge material between your pool and deck, helping secure your safety cover while adding a finished look. We offer two durable options:
- Aluminum Coping: Available in p-shaped, inclined, and rounded profiles- offering precision and consistency in shape and finish. This coping style is integrated with the encapsulated under track to create an aluminum-capped coping. All three profiles are available for Vinyl Liner Pools, for Fiberglass pools the rounded profile is also available.
- Reusable Concrete Coping Forms: Designed to create cantilevered or inclined coping edges, these forms are used in the deck-pouring phase of the install and are removed once the coping has formed to reveal a concrete finish. These coping forms clip to the under track encapsulation offering flexibility to customers as they can be utilized after encapsulation is installed. These coping forms can be reused between installations and all three forms are compatible with all pool types.
Color Options
Coverstar automatic covers can be applied to a broad range of pool designs and types. Options include your choice of ten standard fabric colors.

Common Questions About Latham Safety Covers
Yes, you can add an automatic safety cover to an existing pool using retrofit kits. Among the most common are Deckmount Toptrack applications and Coverstar’s Undertrack option, which requires concrete decking to be removed to fit the encapsulated track and then re-poured. Top Track systems can be used on both freeform and rectangular pools.
Pool covers can be configured to the precise dimensions of your pool. Adding a safety cover to an existing rectangular pool can often cost less due to its more linear, traditional shape than adding one to a freeform pool with a series of curves. However, working with a licensed builder can help you to create a safety cover that meets the exact measurements required for your pool.
The cost of an automatic pool cover is worth it in terms of long-term savings and added peace of mind it offers. An autocover can help you save on pool heating costs and maintain more consistent water temperature, making your pool more enjoyable. It can also help reduce water evaporation, which goes hand-in-hand with a reduction in maintenance and chemical use to rebalance water chemistry. Most of all, an automatic pool cover can help prevent accidental drowning when properly used, providing an added layer of safety that helps prevent children, pets, and uninvited guests from accessing your pool unsupervised.
Automatic inground safety covers work with the help of a few key elements, specifically tracks and a small, efficient motor. Typically, on one end of the pool, there will be a sleek “roller” where the pool cover material rolls up and is stored when not in use. When the switch is activated, the motor turns on and the electric pool cover automatically rolls across the pool area with the help of two tracks on either side of the pool. These tracks can be built inside the lip of the pool for a seamless design, or lay on either side of the pool, above ground.
The cost of an automatic pool cover ranges between $10,000 to $20,000. Factors that influence the cost of your pool depend on your pool’s design and levels of customization you choose for your cover. For instance, a larger pool with a more intricate, freeform shape may be closer to $20,000. By contrast, a cover for a smaller pool or a more straightforward, rectangular shape may cost less.
Yes. Your automatic safety cover is built to hold the weight of several adults. However, we do not recommend that you walk on your cover. Walking on your cover should only be reserved for emergency situations or removing debris from your cover.
An automatic safety cover requires professional installation to ensure it works properly and conforms to all local building codes. Additionally, a licensed electrician should run all wires and make connections to the breaker box.
Automatic pool covers may be the safest pool cover option available for installation in today’s growing marketplace. Also known as “horizontal fences,” the protection provided by electric pool covers is virtually unparalleled. Latham Coverstar Automatic Safety Covers are ASTM F1346 certified and meet specific design standards to reduce risk of drowning and accidents by preventing collapse and unsupervised access.
Autocovers are also easy to use and fast to deploy. Simply flip a switch or press a button to roll out a protective barrier over your pool that no child, pet, or overindulgent house guest can fall through. And by connecting your touch screen to your home WiFi network, you can receive a text message or email alert to let you know when your cover has been activated or left open too long.
