Under Track Pool within a Pool
In-wall Track (#1)

Under Track
*Under track is mounted to a stainless steel plate
that is secured to the bond beam or sub-deck
prior to installation
A Pool within a Pool is a design technique
used when a freeform pool shape is desired
without the use of surface mounted tracks.
A stepped up rectangle is constructed
outside the maximum width and length
creating a picture frame around the pool.
The use of in-wall encapsulated tracks is
recommended for this type of installation.
*Prior to construction please call the factory or your
Aquamatic representative to ensure your design is suitable
for the cover.*
Under Track with Composite or Aluminum Lid
The standard lid application for any
recessed mechanism is your choice of,
structural composite polymer (available
in 6 decorator colors) or clear anodized
aluminum lid. You have the option to
powder coat both the lid and leading
edge to suit the hardscape.

Features of our patented Dual-Motor, all fluid
Hydraulic Cover Drive System
Advantages and Benefits
WATERPROOF
The Hydramatic drive is a closed loop system, and although a drain is required in the cover
recess, inadvertent flooding does not mean expensive electric motor replacement.
SAFETY
No electrics near the pool for greater safety. All electric power and switches are remote at the
equipment pad which also means fewer problems with inspections.
POWER
Hydraulic drives are compact yet powerful, and can be easily controlled to provide only as
much as is needed to operate the cover. Hydraulics are durable, and the most popular drive
unit for wet and hostile environments and are the preferred choice of builders, designers and
architects.
DURABILITY
Hydraulics are widely used in heavy equipment for their durability and reliability. The unique
patented Dual-Motor Hydramatic system eliminates mechanical linkage and clutches to start
and then change direction of the cover. It has the least number of parts of any other automatic
pool cover system, yet has a full range of safety and convenience features. Originally designed
for commercial applications.
CONVENIENCE
The Hydramatic cover system has a patented built-in rainwater removal feature. When
rainwater collects on the cover surface, simply turn the key to open the cover, and the water
will be forced through the screens into the pool. The screen mesh will collect the leaves and
most debris. A computerized cover pump is also provided with all cover systems.
COVER TRAVEL LIMITS
The cover travel is gently and reliably stopped at each end of travel by our patented pressure
relief valves, eliminating the need of electronic encoders or other electrical devices near the
pool.
RATED
The Hydramatic cover is UL tested and certified to exceed ASTM F1346-91 standards for pool
safety
WARRANTY
The cover system comes with a twenty year limited warranty on the mechanism, and a seven
year limited warranty on the covers. For additional warranty information, contact your
Aquamatic representative.
