  • What is the difference between automatic underwater and above-ground covers?

    The automatic submerged covers are installed below the waterline and are invisible when rolled up, thus offering a perfect aesthetic for luxury swimming pools. On the other hand, above-ground covers are simpler to install and more economical while guaranteeing the same protection against accidents. Both types of covers make it possible to secure the swimming pool, while maintaining the water temperature and reducing maintenance.

  • Do automatic covers comply with safety standards?

    Yes, all automatic covers installed by AQUA EQUIPEMENTS comply with the NF P90-308 standard, which governs the safety of private swimming pools. These covers prevent accidents by guaranteeing protection against accidental falls, especially for children and pets.

  • What are the advantages of automatic pool covers?

    Automatic pool covers offer many advantages: they make access to the pool safer, they keep the water warm by reducing evaporation, and they protect against debris. In addition, they are discreet, they reduce heating costs and they facilitate the daily maintenance of your pool. The automatic covers are suitable for all types of swimming pools and are easy to use thanks to their high-performance motorised systems.

  • What types of bar covers do you offer?

    We offer bar covers from Walter, APF and Albiges. These covers are robust, easy to handle and guarantee maximum safety. They are also versatile, can be used all year round and comply with the NF P90-308 standard. Bar covers offer protection against accidents, while being simple to install and use.

  • How do bar covers improve safety?

    Bar covers are designed to prevent accidents by preventing unsupervised access to the pool. Their rigid structure can support the weight of a person, thus guaranteeing protection against accidental falls. They are ideal for families with children or animals, while complying with French regulations on pool safety.

  • What are the advantages of an opaque safety cover?

    Opaque safety covers offer maximum protection against accidents while helping to conserve water. By blocking the sun's rays, they prevent the formation of algae and reduce the need for chemicals. They also limit evaporation, which helps to maintain the water temperature and reduce heating costs. These covers are robust and comply with NF P90-308 safety standards.

  • What is special about net covers?

    Net covers are light, strong and easy to install. They allow the water to breathe while preventing debris from entering the pool.

  • How can I extend the life of a pool cover?

    To extend the life of your pool cover, it is essential to maintain it regularly. We recommend that you check the fastenings and clean the cover periodically to prevent the accumulation of debris and dirt. In case of minor damage, call on AQUA EQUIPEMENTS to carry out the necessary repairs and guarantee a long service life for your equipment.

Thanks to our experts, we guarantee that your pool remains clean, safe and in perfect working order.

  • What automated systems do you offer for pool maintenance?

    We install automated systems to simplify the maintenance of your swimming pool, such as salt chlorinators for water disinfection, automatic pH regulators and programmable filtration systems. These systems keep your pool water clean and balanced by reducing the need for manual intervention.

  • What are the advantages of salt chlorination systems for swimming pools?

    Salt electrolysis is a natural process that transforms salt into chlorine to disinfect the pool water. This system is gentler on the skin and eyes, and avoids the need to add chlorine manually. The electrolysis is automated, thus reducing the need for maintenance and keeping the water clear and healthy throughout the year.

  • What is the difference between flexible, removable and glass pool barriers?

    • Flexible barriers: They are made of flexible netting and are easy to install and remove. Ideal as a temporary solution, they offer robust safety while taking up little space.
    • Removable barriers: These barriers can be easily assembled and disassembled as needed. They are perfect for those who want a flexible safety solution.
    • Glass barriers: These barriers are fixed and offer maximum protection while being very aesthetic. They bring a touch of modernity to your pool while guaranteeing safety.

  • What are the advantages of glass barriers for swimming pools?

    Glass barriers are both elegant and discreet. They offer an unobstructed view of your pool while ensuring maximum safety. In addition to being robust and weather-resistant, they require little maintenance and bring a modern and luxurious aesthetic to your outdoor space.

  • How do I maintain my pool's filtration system?

    Proper filtration maintenance is essential for maintaining clear, clean water. We recommend that you clean the filter regularly (whether it is a sand, cartridge or diatomaceous earth filter), check the pressure gauge and backwash if necessary. AQUA EQUIPEMENTS offers filter cleaning and maintenance services to guarantee optimal filtration.

  • How do I know if my pool pump is working properly?

    A properly functioning pool pump should have a constant flow rate and should not make any unusual noises. If you notice any pressure variations, a loss of flow or strange noises, the pump probably needs maintenance. AQUA EQUIPEMENTS can inspect, repair or replace your pump to ensure optimal water circulation.

  • When should I replace my pool filter?

    The lifespan of a pool filter depends on its type (sand, cartridge, diatom) and how often the pool is used. As a general rule, a sand filter should be changed every 3 to 5 years, while cartridge filters require more frequent replacement. If you notice that the filtration quality is decreasing despite regular cleaning, it may be time to replace it.

  • How important is the electrical panel for the proper functioning of my pool?

    The electrical panel of your pool controls all the equipment, such as the pump, the heating and the filtration. A well-maintained panel ensures that all your systems are working properly and safely. AQUA EQUIPEMENTS offers maintenance and updating services for electrical panels to avoid any malfunction or electrical risk.

  • How can I avoid electrical faults in swimming pool systems?

    To avoid electrical faults, it is essential to have your electrical panel checked regularly and to ensure that all connections are in good condition. AQUA EQUIPEMENTS offers regular inspections of swimming pool electrical systems to ensure they are working properly. If an electrical device is faulty, we can quickly diagnose and resolve the problem.

  • What types of pool heating systems do you offer?

    We offer several types of pool heating systems, including electric heaters, heat pumps and solar heaters. Each solution is tailored to specific needs in terms of energy consumption and efficiency. We help you choose the system that best suits your pool and your usage.

  • How can I guarantee a good chemical balance in the water with an automated system?

    Automated water management systems, such as automatic pH regulators and chlorinators, maintain the chemical balance of the water by automatically adjusting the levels of chemicals. AQUA EQUIPEMENTS installs and configures these systems to guarantee perfectly balanced and healthy water without daily manual intervention.

  • What is the difference between a heat pump and a pool heater?

    The heat pump captures energy from the air to heat your pool water economically, ideal for long-term heating. On the other hand, the pool heater works with an electrical resistance and allows for a rapid rise in temperature, ideal for small pools or occasional use.

  • How do I choose the power of a pool heat pump?

    The choice of heat pump power depends on the volume of your pool, the outside temperature and the level of thermal insulation. As a general rule, you need to allow for approximately 1 kW per 10 m³ of water in order to obtain optimal heating.

  • Why choose a SECURIPOOL pool barrier?

    The SECURIPOOL pool barrier is a European benchmark for pool safety. It is robust and can be dismantled, and it secures your pool while blending in aesthetically with your outdoor space. It complies with the NF P90-306 standard, prevents children from accessing the pool and considerably reduces the risk of drowning.
