Customised Pool Cover Installation at Katoomba Pool – A Smarter Solution by Maytronics

When it comes to managing public aquatic facilities, efficiency, safety, and performance are critical. That’s exactly what Maytronics delivered in a recent customised pool cover installation for the Blue Mountains Council at Katoomba Pool, located in the picturesque Blue Mountains region.

The Project Overview

The Katoomba Pool project involved the installation of a fixed under-bench pool cover system for the 25-metre indoor pool. This wasn’t just any standard setup—it was tailored specifically to the facility’s needs, with super-wide covers exceeding 6 metres in width.

Why go custom?

Traditional pool cover systems often require multiple separate covers to span wider pools, resulting in increased manual handling, more storage requirements, and time-consuming deployment and retrieval. The custom solution designed by Maytronics significantly reduced the number of individual covers—from three to just two—streamlining the entire operation.

“So much easier to use than the old ones. We’ve reduced from three covers to two and they rollout so much smoother and easier. Just much better.”

— Adam Dimech, Blue Mountains Council

Key Benefits for Katoomba Pool

✅ Reduced Manual Handling: Fewer covers mean less lifting, rolling, and physical effort for the team.

✅ Easy Deployment: The customised system integrates seamlessly with a pool cover winch, making it quick and simple for operators to use.

✅ Energy Efficiency: By effectively covering the pool when not in use, the covers help retain heat and reduce evaporation, contributing to lower energy and water costs.

✅ Improved Workplace Safety: Less manual effort equals reduced risk of injury for staff, creating a safer working environment.

Behind the Scenes

The project required precise planning and execution, including craning the unit into place and ensuring a perfect fit for the bench-mounted cover. The finished product blends functionality with a clean, professional aesthetic that complements the facility’s indoor environment.
