The Advantages of JCM Automatic Covers
Investing in an automatic pool cover is about more than just convenience—it’s about enhancing the safety, efficiency, and longevity of your fiberglass pool.
Uncompromising Safety
An automatic cover acts as a 'horizontal fence,' providing a robust child-safety barrier that supports the weight of several adults, giving you absolute peace of mind.
Powerful Debris Protection
Keep leaves, dirt, and unwanted debris out of your pool. This not only keeps your water crystal clear but also reduces chemical usage and filter wear.
Energy & Heat Retention
Reduce your energy bills by up to 70%. Automatic covers significantly cut water evaporation and heat loss, extending your swimming season without the extra cost.
Effortless Maintenance
Spend more time swimming and less time cleaning. Auto covers automate the protection process, making pool ownership simpler and more enjoyable.

Engineered for Precision: Our Installation Journey
01
Track & Mechanism Prep
We begin by surgically prepping your fiberglass pool deck. Our technicians install ultra-low profile, heavy-duty aluminum tracks along the pool's periphery, ensuring perfectly parallel alignment for smooth operation.
02
Motor & Fabric Integration
The high-torque hydraulic or electric drive system is housed in a discrete, ventilated subterranean vault. We then tension the industrial-grade, reinforced vinyl cover fabric, precisely calibrated for a drum-tight fit over the pool surface.
03
Safety Validation & Training
The final phase involves rigorous load-bearing safety checks and limit-switch calibration. We conclude with a detailed homeowner demonstration, ensuring you are fully equipped to manage your cover's automated convenience safely.
Automatic Cover Frequently Asked Questions
Are automatic pool covers safe for children and pets?
Yes, absolutely. Our high-performance automatic covers are designed as 'safety covers' and can support the weight of several adults. They provide a physical barrier that prevents accidental access to the water, offering peace of mind for families.
How much can I save on energy costs?
An automatic cover can reduce pool heating costs by up to 70% and reduce water evaporation by up to 90%. By keeping the heat in and reducing the need for chemical replacements, the system often pays for itself within a few seasons.
Can an automatic cover be installed on my existing fiberglass pool?
Yes, we offer both 'under-track' systems for new constructions and 'top-track' systems that can be retrofitted onto most existing rectangular fiberglass pools. Our experts will assess your pool's deck and shape to recommend the best fit.
What kind of maintenance does the cover require?
Maintenance is straightforward. Keep the tracks free of debris, rinse the fabric occasionally to prevent chemical buildup, and ensure the cover pump is used to remove water and snow weight from top of the cover. We also provide yearly professional inspections.
How long does the cover fabric last?
High-quality vinyl cover fabric typically lasts between 6 to 10 years depending on sun exposure and chemical maintenance. The mechanical components and motor are designed for a much longer lifespan and can be easily refitted with new fabric.
