Handling and Maintenance

Proper Handling and Maintenance of Pool Enclosures

Moving individual enclosure segments should always be performed by two people. Each person should grip the segment on each side at the handle locations.
Before handling the enclosure, check the entire length of the tracks to ensure they are free of foreign objects (twigs, pebbles, etc.). If any are found, they must be removed.
Individual segments move along the tracks on plastic wheels with bearings, so always secure them in both the open and closed positions using the locking mechanisms in the tracks.
In strong winds, ensure that all track locks and pins securing the end panels are engaged. Secure all doors and other openings as well.
Do not stay inside the enclosure during a storm or strong winds.
Do not handle the enclosure during strong winds or when there is ice or snow on the enclosure or tracks.
The largest and smallest segments are equipped with removable end panels. Handling these panels should always be done by two people.
Do not place any objects on the enclosure. Also, prevent access to the segments by people (especially children).
Do not leave keys in door locks or lockable brakes after unlocking them.
Sunscreen should not come into contact with polycarbonate panels, as certain ingredients can permanently damage the polycarbonate.
Warning: Tracks and enclosure structures made in dark shades (bronze, anthracite, and dark RAL colors) can heat up to high temperatures on sunny days, posing a risk of burns.
During winter, clear snow from the entire enclosure. Be careful during snow removal to avoid damaging the polycarbonate panels.

Cleaning the enclosure components:

  • Take care with the surface of the polycarbonate, which is easily scratched; do not use sharp tools.
  • Rinse polycarbonate panels regularly with water to remove coarse dirt.
  • Use clean water or a mild soapy solution with a soft sponge or cloth for cleaning.
  • Do not use products containing solvents (e.g., gasoline, acetone, alcohol).
  • Do not use pressure washers on enclosures with multiwall polycarbonate.

Maintenance:

  • Lubricate locking mechanisms and door hinges with silicone oil twice a year. Ensure the oil does not come into contact with the polycarbonate.
  • Maintain free and combined chlorine levels in the pool water between 0.3–0.6 mg/L and pH levels between 6.8–7.6. Failure to maintain these levels may lead to oxidation of stainless steel and aluminum components.
  • Differences in temperature between the inside and outside environment may cause water condensation inside the enclosure and polycarbonate panels. The aluminum structure includes drainage channels for condensate removal.
  • Water condensation inside multiwall polycarbonate does not reduce its lifespan or properties and is not considered a defect.

We recommend insuring your pool enclosure.

Notice Regarding Certain Uncontrollable Factors

  • Condensation inside the chambers of multiwall polycarbonate is caused by the difference in temperature between the inside and outside of the enclosure. This is a natural phenomenon that cannot be prevented and does not constitute a defect in the product.
    The shades of anodizing may vary slightly due to minor deviations in the production process and the natural aging of the material’s surface. This phenomenon cannot be avoided and is not considered a product defect.
  • Small impurities embedded in polycarbonate – According to the manufacturer, these are technical plastics, and fused polycarbonate particles up to 3 mm in size are tolerated by the standards and do not affect the material’s functionality.
    The appearance of gaps in the track joints may result from the thermal expansion of the material, as aluminum has one of the highest thermal expansion coefficients among metals.
  • Drainage holes must be drilled into the aluminum structure to allow condensate to escape. Occasionally, small insects may enter these holes and end up inside the polycarbonate chambers. Unfortunately, this cannot be prevented and will not be considered grounds for a warranty claim.
