Will an automatic cover work with my existing pool?

In most cases, yes. Automatic covers can usually be retrofitted to existing rectangular in-ground pools, provided the measurements work and there is somewhere sensible to put the mechanism and housing. Freeform and irregularly shaped pools are harder and sometimes not practical. Read our installation guide.

How long does it take to install an automatic pool cover?

Installation typically takes one to three days depending on the pool's design, the guide system being fitted, and site accessibility. Retrofits to an existing pool generally take longer than a system installed during a new pool build, where the track is integrated as the pool is constructed.

What is the difference between under guide, recessed guide, and top guide systems?

The three describe where the track that guides the cover sits. An under guide system hides the track beneath the pool coping for the cleanest appearance. A recessed guide system sets the track into the deck so it sits flush. A top guide system mounts the track on top of the deck, which is the most straightforward to retrofit to an existing pool and the easiest to service. Compare the guide systems.
