Unlike the installation of an auto cover on a standard pool a vanishing edge pool cannot be out of square the tolerances for a cover on this type of pool design cannot be off by more than 26 to 51 mm 1 to 2 in.

This gives it a waterfall like appear. A vanishing edge pool also known as an infinity edge pool can have an automatic pool cover installed with a special underside track adaptor. The slack has to be minimal with this pool design. Another technique for adapting the automatic cover to the free form pool involves the use of low profile track that mounts to the deck surface.

Horwood is one of a growing number of professionals who specialize in the installation service maintenance and repair of automatic pool covers. Since the tracks on either side of the pool are not perfectly parallel in this case the auto cover must be modified using gliders to compensate for the height difference between the two tracks. The gliders are made from a durable low friction polymer that is impact resistant and resilient to weather providing optimum gliding performance. Otherwise it will be baggy or too small and will not move.

A perfectly fitted auto cover is necessary for it to function smoothly on a vanishing edge pool. The vanishing edge style pool has a unique design in the fact that one or more sides of the pool are lower than the rest to allow for water to flow over the edge and into a trough. The infinity edge wall must be roughly 12 7 to 25 4 mm 0 5 to 1 in lower than the separation beam wall. One of the most common mistakes builders make is to construct the beam wall separating the cover trough from the pool much higher than the vanishing edge wall.
