What about winter weather conditions?

The Sun Domes will usually take winds up to 40-45 mph, however, it is not made to withstand heavy sustained winds, and more important, the weight of snow. In heavy snowfall areas, it is necessary to remove the dome before the first snowfall, on a sunny day.

How do I clean my Sun Dome?

We suggest cleaning the Sun Dome with mild soap and water – dish or car wash soap work best. Test a small patch first to ensure the product you select works properly. Please note: do not use any oil-based products, as it will damage the vinyl. There are no cleaning requirements, however if there is lots of debris on your Sun Dome we suggest you clean it before storing.

What if my Sun Dome gets punctured or damaged?

We supply a patch with every Sun Dome when it is sent to you. However, if you need additional patch vinyl material, please contact us directly.

It also protects your pool from leaves, bugs, debris and early spring or late summer breezes. Moreover, because your pool is protected, you cut down on the use of chemicals and expensive cleaning costs.

Screen Domes combine the original 12-mil vinyl material and a new strong 11-ounce mesh screen. There is a vinyl beanie on top and screen material starts at the bend in the poles of the framework. Screen Domes still give you some of the heating effects of the original vinyl dome, but it allows for increased ventilation for the warmer climates. Screen domes are available in 3 colors: black, blue, and forest green.

Keep Your Pool Safe and Accident Free!

The Lifeguard is always “on duty” when you activate the Aquaguard Pool Alarm System.

The Aquaguard is the most trusted name in pool security because it’s the most reliable consumer-installed swimming pool alarm. Our system detects a child or pet (18 lbs or more) falling into the pool or spa while being virtually immune to wind and false alarms. AquaGuard even works in swimming pools with typical spa overflows and certain other water features.

When a child falls into the swimming pool, the detector’s dual sirens insure that you hear the pool alarm outside (louder than a car alarm) while the remote unit’s siren sounds inside the house.

Swimming Pool builders very much like the fact that the AquaGuard Pool Alarm is very easy to use and always lets you know when it’s armed. The two-way remote allows their customers to put the system into “swim stand-by” mode from the house and the system even rearms itself after everyone has left the pool.
