Meet the brawn behind the beauty. The driving force behind every Save-T 3 cover system is our state‑of‑the‑art mechanism, proof that nothing but the best goes into every one of our covers. The high‑grade stainless-steel and anodized‑aluminum mechanism is specifically suited to the pool environment and contributes to smooth operation and overall longevity of the system.
The powerful new Save-T 3 (big RED) is the most advanced cover system on the market today and is available exclusively from Cover-Pools.
Electric System

Our standard electric drive system has an advanced 3/4 hp, high-torque, waterproof motor made exclusively for Cover-Pools. Every electric system comes with your choice of a slip clutch or auto shut‑off feature. The slip clutch is designed for adjustable power and releases torque from the motor if the cover meets an obstacle. The auto shut-off uses advanced circuitry with a backup amp limiter to act as an electronic slip clutch if the cover movement is obstructed.
