The Aussie UnderCover system can dramatically increase the usable space around your pool by eliminating your above ground roller and freeing up this wasted space. The system is structurally designed to walk on enabling you to safely use in a traffic throughfare area or for pool furniture placement. You will have a clear and clean looking pool area without any unnecessary clutter.

The lid frame supplied with the system can be disguised with tiles up to 20mm thick, timber and composite timbers up to 35mm thick, synthetic turf, spray concrete or even tiles you create yourself from polished concrete, liquid limestone or other poured products.

The Aussie UnderCover system is extremely versatile which is why we use the terms ADAPTABLE, ADJUSTABLE, AFFORDABLE AND ATTRACTIVE to describe our product, and while the system is already quite straightforward, we have installation innovations coming shortly which will significantly reduce installation time and simplify the installation process, together with ensuring the system is easy for the general public or for contractors to supply and install for their customers.

Call us today to see how we can help you improve the look of your pool area while also saving time on cleaning and maintenance and most importantly saving water. Phone 1300 722 009 or sales@aussieundercover.com.au.

The post The Aussie UnderCover system can increase the usable space appeared first on Completehome.

This mountain masterpiece was designed and installed by Real Aussie Pools at Berry on the NSW South Coast. The pool takes advantage of the fabulous coastal views over 7 Mile Beach and the hinterland at Gerringong. A pool cover was required but the vista could not be destroyed by a standard above-ground roller or a visible aluminium lid cover system. The Aussie UnderCover® was the perfect solution as it’s completely concealed under the travertine paving using a matching 12mm tile on the lid frame. The system also fits into a tiny 390mm-wide cavity and is designed to walk on, which means it can easily be part of the pool high-traffic area.

The Aussie UnderCover® is attractive, adaptable and affordable, coming in nine different sizes which are adjustable on site to suit most situations. The Aussie UnderCover is also available in a semi-remote-control-powered version called the Power21.

Not only is the Aussie UnderCover® the only system that can be tiled, it’s also the only system that can easily be upgraded from manual to power.

The friendly team are happy to give advice on installation options and system positioning.

The post A hidden pool cover that lets you choose the finish appeared first on Completehome.

Aussie UnderCover® commenced installations in 2008 and was the first in Australia to develop and locally manufacture an underground pool cover system. Since then, we have gone from strength to strength. We continue to manufacture in Nowra, NSW, supporting local jobs, and supply throughout Australia and internationally.

How is the pool cover hidden?

The Aussie UnderCover® can be covered with decking or tiles, making it virtually invisible! The lid frame supplied in each kit can be covered with tiles up to 20mm thick or timber products up to 35mm thick to completely blend into its environment.

Are the sizes customised?

Kits are available in nine adjustable sizes and each pool cover system is individually customised to suit the height and weight of the product being used to conceal the lid frame.

Are your systems compatible with fibreglass or concrete pools?

Our system suits all fibreglass and precast pools and concrete pools up to 7m wide.

How do you create a perfect match for sizing and materials to suit an existing pool?

We have a database of all preformed fibreglass and concrete pools manufactured in Australia, so our staff are able to quicky advise customers, builders, landscapers etc on the correct-sized system and installation method to match their pool and landscape environment. We are able
to advise and quote off plans as well.

Should I choose a manual or automatic cover?

Many people are not sure whether to go with a manual or automatic system but with the Aussie UnderCover® this is not an issue as all our systems are upgradable from manual winding
to our 24V semi-remote-control system.

What are sustainability aspects?

Pool covers are essential to maintain a good pool balance, retain heat and reduce water loss. The Aussie UnderCover® is designed for longevity and sustainability for environmentally aware consumers. As the pool cover system is easily upgradable there is no need to change the entire system as your needs or wants change.

How easy is installation?

Your pool builder or landscaper can help with this, but all the systems are designed as DIY kits so anyone with handyman skills can give it a go. We are also able to offer video and phone support.

Aussie UnderCover® is a hidden underground pool cover system manufactured in Nowra, NSW, by a family-owned and -operated company.

Kirsty and Jesse’s backyard in The Block 2021 was the biggest space of all the properties. This also meant it had to be perfectly executed in order to compete with the other contestants. The couple chose to install a Sunbather pool cover because of its high quality and durability, as well as the fact it is easily out of sight when not in use, making the pool area stylish and aesthetically pleasing.

Sunbather’s Downunder rollers are out of sight and out of mind. The roller mechanism as well as the cover is hidden in a cavity and covered by a lid. The lid closes flush with the deck when the cover is retracted and also when it’s fully extended over the pool. It’s super easy to use, with one person being able to operate it from a stand-up position.

For superior heat retention, The Block contestants opted for Sunbather’s thermal pool covers. Thermal covers are longer-lasting than other covers and require less maintenance. They’re made from a high-quality, multi-layered foam material that keeps the pool warmer and cleaner. An unheated pool can lose twice its entire volume of water each year. A thermal cover saves 90 per cent of this water.

Pool covers save water, energy and money and over a period of time they pay for themselves. They’re also now mandatory for new pools that are heated with a gas heater or heat pump.
As well as pool covers, Sunbather also specialises in solar pool heating, heat pumps, gas heating, commercial covers and rollers and commercial pool heating.

The company is committed to Australian manufacturing. Sunbather was a pioneer in the solar pool heating industry, starting in 1974 and becoming one of the largest suppliers of pool heating and pool covers for pools of all sizes. The company is consistently acknowledged by the industry for quality and ingenuity through awards of recognition.

Pool covers

All of Remco’s pool covers help to protect the pool against debris such as leaves, dirt and other litter. This means your pool cleaning times are dramatically reduced and your pool stays beautifully clean. Additionally, Remco pool covers eradicate evaporation of heating, chemicals and water by 70 to 80 per cent. Swimming pools require heating, which can be a massive expense, particularly when most pools sit idle at least 23 hours a day. Indoor pools can cost even more. With no cover, an indoor pool needs a dehumidification system to run 24 hours a day. Condensation, rotting timber and corrosion of materials are all side effects of indoor pools. However, when there is a cover installed, dehumidification systems can be turned off when the cover is activated. Remco can assist with lowering pool maintenance costs for both indoor and outdoor pools.

Safety

Remco pool covers help keep adults, children and pets safe by providing an extra layer of protection between your loved ones and your pool. When operated correctly, Remco Australia’s Swimroll is an impenetrable surface that can support up to 80kg. It adds an extra layer of protection to your pool, giving you peace of mind that your pets and children are safe, particularly if guardians may be distracted.

Swimroll Automatic Pool Cover

Swimroll is the ultimate in design and aesthetics. Not only has Swimroll won major design awards, its functionality and reliability are also what make it popular with customers. When activated, the pool is rendered inaccessible, ensuring maximum safety and aesthetic appeal. Swimroll is constructed with high-grade PVC and polycarbonate extrusions, making it tough and durable against the Australian weather.

Coverstar

Coverstar is a fully automatic, vinyl pool cover system that is fixed into two tracks. It’ll seal out dirt and debris and will trap in heat. By investing in a Coverstar, you can extend your swimming pool season.

PoolGuard

PoolGuard is a sturdy, durable pool cover. It’s key operated, so it’s impossible to access without authorisation. It’s also completely impenetrable, so it’s an ideal solution for those with young children or curious pets. Remco Australia is able to provide the perfect addition to your pool by increasing safety and reducing costs. Remco covers will blend seamlessly with the style of your outdoor area. They can be tucked away in the pool or even below ground for new pools, and provide a sleek and aesthetic solution.

The post Pool covers: clever and functional designs appeared first on Completehome.

Australian company Remco has made a splash with its unique Swimroll pool covers — they are discreet, stylish and, most importantly, safe. For those looking for a smart, beautifully designed cover that doesn’t compromise the look of their pool, Swimroll is the perfect choice.

Fences can be climbed and gates left open, leaving young swimmers vulnerable. Swimroll covers can provide an additional layer of protection to your backyard, preventing children and pets from accidentally falling in. When operated according to the manufacturer’s instructions, Swimroll pool covers provide an impenetrable surface. When fully closed, the pool cover can sustain the weight of approximately 80kg.

The Swimroll has several installation options; it can be smartly hidden away in a bench seat, or even in the pool or below ground for new pools, making it the ideal option for those whose priority is design and style.

Manufactured from high-grade PVC and tough polycarbonate extrusions, the pool cover is fully automated and rolls onto the pool at the press of a button. Remco provides three control options for remote activation of the automated Swimroll cover: Push-button allows for instant access, the key switch control provides a lockable option, and the remote control allows for complete ease of use.

Swimroll covers are environmentally friendly in their design as they prevent heat, water and chemical loss. This also makes them more economical to maintain. High-buoyancy slats form a cover over the pool to give functionality which includes safety, eliminating evaporation of water and chemicals, and keeping the pool clear of dirt and leaves.

Swimroll pool covers can be customised to fit your pool perfectly and insulate against heat and chemical loss, saving up to 80 per cent on heating costs, chemical consumption and thousands of litres of water.

Remco’s Swimroll is also available in a foam-filled option for those looking for further rigidity and boosted insulation. This cover is an innovative product with solid slats, providing a perfect finish on curves which can be cut, on site, to fit any shape. Furthermore, the Swimroll can be retrofitted into existing pools and built into new pools, making it accessible to all home owners.

In Swimroll foam-filled covers, the profile structures are made from expanded PVC foam, coextruded with polyurethane. The exterior is high-density PVC, which presents a perfectly smooth surface helping to prevent any algae formation either above or below the water level, and can withstand temperatures from -20°C to +80°C.

Remco Australia specialises in pool covers and products designed and engineered for stunning, yet functional pools. It supplies products worldwide, with installation available across Australia. Remco’s friendly team assist with all installations and can custom fit pool covers to suit different shapes.

Designed for homeowners who seek function and sophistication, Remco’s Coverstar is a durable, multifunctional pool cover that stylishly blends with your poolscape.

Aside from providing outstanding safety, insulation and convenience, the Coverstar helps with heat retention and water and chemical balance. An easy turn of a key or flick of a switch rolls the cover over the pool, keeping out dirt, debris and leaves and rapidly reducing cleaning responsibilities.

A significant amount of time is saved on pool maintenance because pH levels, alkalinity, hardness and chlorination are better preserved. Filtering cycle times are dramatically improved by approximately 50 per cent if the Coverstar is used frequently, as less filtration is required for a cleaner, covered pool. The Coverstar is environmentally friendly too as it eliminates 90 per cent of evaporation, saving pool owners on energy, heat, water and chemicals. This gives pool owners the luxury of being able to jump straight in for their next swim without worrying about the condition of their pool.

Safety is also an outstanding feature of the Coverstar as it is strong enough to support the weight of an adult. Clients with children or pets can add a vital layer of protection to their backyard and reduce the stress associated with pool safety concerns.

A sleek and seamless installation is achieved through a subtle range of colour choices and discreet cover storage options that are dynamic enough to suit infinity pools. With the uncomplicated operating system of the Coverstar, stunning designs and functional convenience are no longer mutually exclusive.

Remco Australia is an award-winning industry leader in aesthetically pleasing pool cover products. Operating for almost 30 years, the company has kept its commitment to Australian-designed products throughout the decades. Its philosophy is to encourage a long-term, trusting relationship with clients through the consistent provision of quality products and services.

For more than 20 years, Remco has emerged as Australia’s leading manufacturer of motorised, automated and multifunctional pool covers. The Swimroll and PoolGuard are industry-leading pool cover systems, manufactured in Australia and offering high performance and functionality for pool owners. Remco’s first promise and priority is the safety of its clients.

Safety is paramount for commercial and domestic properties, especially families that have the need to protect children and animals around pools.

Remco’s Swimroll and PoolGuard ranges boast a number of additional benefits, including enhancing the aesthetic appeal of indoor and outdoor poolside leisure areas. –

Structurally, Remco’s Poolguard pool covers are engineered to withstand the full weight of an adult*, meaning that if applied correctly, the cover is completely impenetrable. The world-class workmanship employed to manufacture every Remco product is evident in its design; the Swimroll cover is customised to fit snugly to the internal shape of the pool, and in some instances can be adapted to suit a variety of pool shapes.

Remco provides the most environmentally sound pool covers currently on the Australian market. A Remco cover acts like a blanket over the water, diminishing evaporation and reducing water rating and chemical costs. This protection prevents dirt and debris from entering the pool, minimising cleaning and maintenance efforts and allowing owners to enjoy the pool.

The aesthetic presentation of the pool is enhanced by both ranges. The Swimroll’s design enables it to be rolled away neatly, out of sight, when not in use. With above-ground installation, it can be easily fitted to complement the surrounding landscape. The Swimroll is made from high-grade PVC or polycarbonate extrusions, enabling its fluid rollaway mechanism. It is available in seven colours.

The PoolGuard series is produced from cross-woven UV-treated PVC-coated polyester, facilitating easy manual operation and cultivating a relaxed yet sturdy appearance.

The Pool Enclosure Company (TPEC) has outdone itself again with the innovative design of the latest addition to its range: the OMEGA model. The first of its type in Australia and the world, TPEC has catered to all pool owners’ needs while maintaining an environmentally friendly edge.The pictured enclosure features the sleek OMEGA model, which complements the already simple yet stylish design of the pool and suits the wooden decking that surrounds it. A sliding door on one side of the enclosure as well as bifold doors the length of the face make for easy access and versatility.

A smoked compact polycarbonate roof is used in the design to give required shade when needed while still enabling some of the warm sun to increase the temperature of the water. The unique design of the OMEGA model enables more usable space within the enclosure and makes it a one-of-a-kind product. The enclosure allows you to swim freely in the pool any time of year without having to endure the elements and requires limited maintenance, a pool owner’s dream.

TPEC believes that adding value, lifestyle benefits, practicality and functionally to your site is essential for continued enjoyment and value for money. A TPEC retractable pool enclosure will provide just that with the company’s fully enclosed design that seals a pool or spa from the outside elements ensuring year-round usage, no matter what the weather conditions, while still allowing the pool to be opened up on warmer days by retracting the enclosure.

Environmentally, TPEC has worked wonders by making each of its client’s pools significantly more sustainable, not only through the installation of the OMEGA model, but with all of its pool enclosure designs. TPEC enclosures can help pool owners reduce heat loss, evaporation and running costs by more than 75 per cent as well as providing a significant decrease in pump and filtration use.

TPEC has been in business since 2010 and is now Australia’s leading supplier of pool enclosures. Having won the SPASA Gold Sustainability Award in 2013, the team at TPEC are undisputed professionals.
