FAQ
- How long will it take to complete my pool pump cover?
Generally, installation will be completed within 5-7 weeks of ordering.
- Will the pool pump cover rust?
Aluminum by its nature does not rust. The thick powder coating acts as a further protective layer against any corrosion.
- What type of aluminium do you use?
Australian made 6063 T6 aluminium is used to manufacture the pool pump covers. It is both strong and has excellent corrosion resistance.
- What are the dimensions of the posts and slats?
The posts measure 50x50mm with a wall thickness of 2mm. The slats are 90x16mm or 65x16mm, with a wall thickness of 1.4mm and internal ribs for increased rigidity.
- What tpe of paint is used?
Genuine Interpon powder coats delivering a superior, long lasting and durable finish. Highly UV resistant and protective to corrosion even in marine environments.
- Will the pool equipment have enough ventilation?
Because the side slats have gaps between them, your pool equipment will be adequately ventilated. If your pump is often in full sunlight, heat will dissipate much quicker when shaded by the cover. Heat pumps are the only exception, requiring greater ventilation. Therefore we create a cut out around the heat pump fan.
- Will the pool equipment be easy to access?
The entire front and top of our pool pump covers open up, enabling incredible ease of access for maintenance of pool equipment.
- Will the housing be compliant with regard to pool safety?
We will ensure the location and design of your pool pump cover meets all current QBCC pool safety laws. We are able to make the pool pump cover non-climbable if its situated next to a pool fence by keeping the gaps between slats to 10mm or less.
- Are the enclosures watertight?
No, rain water will still be able to seep in, however water does not damage pool equipment.
