Automatic Pool Covers Installed & Serviced Across the Mid-South
An automatic safety cover is the single best upgrade you can put on an inground pool — safer for kids and pets, cheaper to run, and easy enough that you’ll actually use it every day. American Pool Techs designs, installs, and services automatic covers on pools we build and on existing pools across Memphis and the Mid-South. One switch, under a minute, and the water is sealed. See recent installs in our pool gallery.
One cover. Three jobs. Done without you thinking about it.
A good automatic cover isn’t a luxury add-on — it’s the one piece of equipment that makes a pool safer, cheaper to operate, and easier to live with at the same time. Here’s exactly what you’re buying when you put one on your pool.
A real barrier, not a tarp
Closed, the cover seals every side of the pool and forms an isolation barrier built to the ASTM F1346 safety standard. It’s engineered to support the weight of a child or adult who steps onto it, and it locks. The moment that matters, the water is covered — not the day you finally got around to it.
- ASTM F1346 isolation barrier
- Supports a child or adult’s weight
- Locks for secured access
- Protects kids, pets & wildlife
Cuts your bills, extends your season
With no air gap above the water, a solid cover stops roughly 70% of evaporation, drops the make-up water you add by 30–50%, and reduces chemical use by 35–60% because treated water isn’t evaporating away. It traps heat overnight like a passive solar blanket — you open earlier in spring and swim later into fall.
- ~70% less evaporation
- 30–50% less make-up water
- 35–60% less chemical use
- Holds heat — longer swim season
Open or closed in under a minute
Flip the weatherproof key switch — or tap a touchpad or your phone — and the cover glides open or closed in less than 60 seconds. No rolling, no clips, no wrestling a winter cover every fall. The kind of easy that means the pool actually gets covered between swims, which is where the safety and the savings come from.
- Sub-minute operation
- Key switch, touchpad, or Wi-Fi
- No manual handling
- Custom-fit to your pool
Built into the pool, engineered to last
- Tracks & membrane. The cover rides in tracks set along the pool edge and is custom-fabricated to your exact size and shape — including stairs, rails, and raised features.
- Drive & reel. A sealed drive system winds the cover on and off a reel that can be recessed under the deck or set in a low-profile housing.
- Controls. Choose a weatherproof key switch, a touchpad, or a Wi-Fi / wireless control — all lock for secure access.
- Installed & serviced by us. We measure, spec, and install so the cover sits flush and tracks true — then keep it running with in-house cover and equipment service.
The parts that make it work — and keep working
The difference between a cover that tracks true for years and one that binds up after two seasons is in the install and the components. Here’s what goes into a proper automatic cover.
Edge Tracks
Recessed or top-mounted tracks guide the cover edge-to-edge with a tight, even seal.
Custom Membrane
Cut to your exact pool — squares, freeforms, stairs, and raised walls all accounted for.
Sealed Drive & Reel
Recessed under-deck or low-profile housing options. Quiet, weather-sealed operation.
Locking Controls
Weatherproof key switch, touchpad, or Wi-Fi / wireless — all lock for secured access.
Color Options
A range of cover colors to match your deck, coping, and home.
In-House Service
Adjustments, fabric replacement, and repairs handled by our own team — not subbed out.

One cover that earns its keep in every season
You don’t swap covers when the weather turns. The same cover that holds heat in July sheds snow and keeps debris out in January.
- Winter, handled. Leave it closed through the cold months — it carries snow and ice off the water and keeps leaves out, so spring opening is faster and cleaner with no green water to fight.
- Summer, easier. Closed between swims, the pool stays warm, clean, and ready — less skimming, less topping off, fewer chemicals.
- No separate winter cover. One system, all year. Pair it with our opening & closing service and the seasonal turnover is hands-off.
Designed in from day one — or retrofit to what you own
The cleanest result comes from designing the cover into a new build, with the track, reel, and conduit set before the deck goes down. But plenty of existing pools are great candidates too.
- Building new? We engineer the cover into the plan so everything is hidden and flush — no retrofit compromises later.
- Existing pool? Tell us the size and shape and we’ll tell you straight whether a retrofit makes sense and what it takes.
- Honest answers first. If a retrofit is a bad idea for your pool, you’ll hear it from us before you spend a dollar.

What people actually ask us
The questions Mid-South homeowners ask most before they put an automatic cover on their pool.
What Our Cover Clients Say
“We added an automatic cover to our existing pool and it’s the best money we’ve spent. One switch and it’s covered — the kids can’t get to the water and our chemical bill dropped noticeably.”
“APT built our pool and designed the cover right into it. You can’t even see the housing. It opens in seconds and the pool stays warm and clean all season.”
“Left it closed all winter and spring opening was a breeze — no green water, no mess. When it needed a small adjustment their own tech came out and handled it fast.”
