Are Below Ground Box (BGB) systems available with a motorised option?
Are Below Ground Box (BGB) systems available with a motorised option?
No — all Below Ground Box (BGB) systems are manual only.
We do not recommend or offer powered below-ground versions due to the operating environment. The underground housing is subject to high moisture levels, and in some cases may be exposed to groundwater or flooding, which can significantly reduce the lifespan and reliability of motorised components.
In addition, operating a pool cover from a BGB system requires the user to be poolside to:
Open the lid, and
Pull the cover out of the pool onto the roller
Even if a motor were fitted, these manual steps would still be required. This means the benefit of motorisation is minimal, while introducing additional cost and maintenance risk. There is also no practical disengage system available for redeploying the cover manually.
What if I want a fully automatic pool cover system?
For fully automatic operation (both opening and closing), we recommend our Hard Slat Cover Systems.
These systems provide:
Push-button operation (on and off the pool)
Fully enclosed, water-safe motorisation
Premium finish and convenience
While this represents a higher upfront investment, it delivers a true automatic solution with improved ease of use and long-term reliability.
An awesome quality cover
Hi, I thought you might like some feedback on your pool covers! Our 400 micron Daisy is 7 years old and was going pretty strong – I honestly think it had one or maybe 2 years still left in it – that was until is was shredded in a very bad hail storm recently. The hail was larger than golf ball size and many rooves in our area were smashed so we are not surprised it was damaged. It was always kept on the pool unless we were swimming and it’s on a roller that is covered from the sun. Yes it was getting a bit brittle but in general for 7 years we have to say it was an awesome quality cover. Thanks Daisy! Let’s hope the new generation of pool covers are even better. Cheers
Michelle
