Sales & Marketing <br /> Re: ASTM TESTING FOR COVERSTAR AUTOMATIC POOL COVERS <br /> From time to time the question arises as to whether all the Coverstar pool covers meet ASTM Safety <br /> standards. The answer is yes• <br /> There are various requirements that must be met for a safety cover, with the most critical being the <br /> requirements as stated in F 1346-91 section 7.1 which requires "Static Load—In the case of a pool with a <br /> width or diameter greater than 8 ft (2.4 m)from the periphery, the cover shall be able to hold a weight of <br /> 485 Ib (220.0 kg) (2 adults and 1 child) to permit a rescue operation". When one sees photos of more <br /> than a half a dozen adults standing on the cover within that radius, it is easy to see that the Coverstar <br /> cover easily meets that requirement. <br /> Our standard automatic cover, the CS1800 was tested and approved as a safety cover both by UL and an <br /> independent testing lab. <br /> While the test reports specifically refer to the our model CS1800, the same test results apply to the <br /> CS200 (which is virtuaily identical to the CS1800 except that it is used for spa appiications). The CS200 <br /> uses aIl of the same components as the CS1800. The fabric, ropes, webbings, leading edge, tracks and <br /> power train are exactly the same. In other words, it is the same unit except that some of the mechanism <br /> brackets and the rope reel have been cut down slightly to fit in a smaller space. Ali warning labels and <br /> installation instructions are identical for both models of covers. <br /> It should be noted that section 7.1.1 which applies to most spas, the weight requirements are only 275 Ib. <br /> versus for the standard pooi cover. <br /> If you have any questions, please feel free to call me. <br /> COVERSTAR /NC. 533 South 500 West, Provo,UT 84601 Phone 800-617-7283 Fax 801-373-5095 Email hr@coverstar.com <br />
