Safety ‘Hydramatic’ pool cover from Aquamatic

The patented mechanism ofAquamatic’s Hydramatic safety pool cover of Gilroy, Calif., is designed to last the lifetime of the pool. The Hydramatic is maintenance free, reliable and comes with the an extensive warranty.

The all-fluid drive eliminates the clutch (typical on every other automatic cover) and is self-adjusting with no need for lubrication. One motor opens the cover, and one motor closes. The direction is controlled by turning the key which actuates a proprietary solenoid valve to send the hydraulic fluid to the corresponding motors. Another inherent part of the Hydramatic, is the patented pressure relief valves, eliminating the need for electrical sensors or other electrical devices near the pool.

For more information contact, Aquamatic Cover Systems, Inc., 200 Mayock Rd., Gilroy, CA 95020. Phone 800-262-4044. Online www.aquamatic.com.
