what is the life expectancy of a BMH spa hard cover ?
-
approximately 8 years subject to customer care.
how effective is a hardcover at retaining heat ?
-
spa hard covers have a thermal resistance (R) value of 2.0 and
virtually eliminate evaporation. this enables hard covers to save up
to 70% of the pool heating energy requirements. see also
technical
information
what colours are available ?
-
forest green, olive green, navy blue, gold (terracotta), blue,
brown, grey, black, charcoal and red.

what sized spas can be covered with a spa hardcover ?
-
the majority of spas are under 2400mm x 2400mm square and are simple
to cover. larger covers can be made but may need modifications. call
us to discuss further. please be aware that while larger
covers are possible they are physically hard to handle and are
therefore prone to damage.
are there any spa shapes that cant be covered ?
-
to date no - hard covers can be custom fitted to almost all spas.
does the hardcover exempt us from the legal requirements to fence ?
-
your local council is required by law to enforce the fencing of
swimming pools act. all councils currently have different
interpretations of the act so you will need to contact them directly
to determine requirements in your area.
does compliance to n.z. safety standard NZ8500:2007 exempt us from the legal
requirements to fence ?
-
this is the intention but it hasn't happened yet - the standard was
introduced in December 2006 and needs to be adopted by individual
councils.
how safe are the BMH hardcovers ?
-
these covers are designed to prevent a small child accessing the
pool. this only works if the locking devices are used.
can we walk on the cover ?
- cover construction is a
compromise between being strong and durable and being light enough
to lift on and off on a daily basis. it will therefore withstand the
weight of a toddler but an adults weight is likely to cause damage.
the life of the cover will be extended if everyone (pets and kids
included) stays off the cover.
do I need a cover on an indoor pool ?
- yes - covers
significantly reduce indoor condensation as well as saving heat
loss.

it on for 2 hours a day as it keeps the heat in so much better. it
looks great too "
