General prescriptions :
The installer should read this manual carefully. The end user of the product needs to read
especially chapter A0, F and. The manual needs to stay with the end user of this product.
T&A manufactures high end automatic covers as per customers specifications and ready to
install. The installation requires to be executed by professionals respecting local quality- and
safety standards. T&A products comply with the European standards EN_16582-1/2/3. The
installer needs to install the product according to tghe instructions in this manual.
A pool cover is a tool to raise the safety , but can never replace the surveillance of a
responsible adult!
The expected life time of the cover heavily depends on way of installation, maintenance and
service.
MAN-AT-A1 Manual Aquatop (2019) 1

Electrical prescriptions :
• The electric motors of AquaTop covers are low voltage DC motors. Nevertheless, the
current supply to the control box is 230V AC and requires to be secured respecting
local laws and norms.
• A differential switch guarantees the protection of people.
• In order to avoid galvanic corrosion because of stray current, T&A strongly advices to
earth the pool. We recommend a separate earth connection (R<30Ω) different from the
earth connection of main building/circuit unless otherwise specified through local
electricity suppliers and/or –regulations.
Influence of water quality on stainless steel components :

• All parts of a submerged cover are manufactured of stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI
316L). Following pool water values need to be respected :
o 7 < pH <7,6
o 0,5 < Cl < 3 mg/l
o Total salt content (= Chlorides) < 5000 ppm
o Pool water temperature < 35°C
o EC < 2,1 mS/cm
o Fe < 0,2 mg/l ! A swimming pool should never be filled with water straight
from a natural well.
Pool water values exceeding the tolerances are the most common cause of
decoloration and/or rust- and corrosion building. Both automatic and manual dosing is
not without errors. Therefor, we recommend frequent control of the measured values.
Moreover, the only way to decrease too high Chloride content is the addition of fresh
tap water; once yearly half of the pool volume is the optimal quantity.
• Parts which are in the direct proximity of the swimming pool are sensitive for rust and
corrosion because of the fact that a combination of splash water, condensate and
evaporation result in higher Chloride concentration (This phenomenon is more
frequent for indoor pools rather than for outdoor pools; the supply of fresh plays an
important role in this process). Equally, submerged parts in areas with lower water
circulation need to be guarded; contaminating parts may set on these parts. A thorough
and frequent cleaning and rinse with fresh (tap) water can avoid problems such as pin
hole corrosion. Never use pool water to rinse stainless steel parts. ATTENTION : the
use of inappropriate cleaning detergents, esp. sulpheric acid containing detergents
need to be avoided !
• Please also avoid :
o Damaging the surface of the stainless steel parts during transport and
installation.
o Any alteration of stainless steel parts without “passivation” afterwards.
o The use of common steel tools on stainless steel parts → Carbon
contamination.
o Excess dosing of Chlorine or Chlorine tablets/powder in immediate proximity
of stainless steel parts.
• Despite all precautions, surface corrosion might appear. We strongly recommend to
clean affected parts by the use of ScotchBrite © (3M) in combination with appropriate
stainless steel cleaning detergent.
• In case of pin hole corrosion, affected parts must be replaced.
• Corrosion is always caused by uncontrolled water treatment and incorrect use of
materials and is therefor never covered by Manufacturer’s liability !

Influence of water quality on plastic parts, more specific slats :
• T&A slats are made of high quality PVC and PC. Overdosing Cholrine and/or other
pool related chemicals might shorten the life time of parts and slats.
• All slats, with the exception of white and beige (sand color) PVC, require to be
protected from direct sun exposure at all times when not in contact with the pool
water.
• PVC- as well as PC solar slats require to be cooled at all times whenever the cover is
closed, i.e. on the pool water surface. As such, the pool circultation/filtration pump
needs to be in operation from the moment the cover is closed.
T&A control boxes for covers can easily be used to control the pool circulation/
filtration pump.
ATTENTION : Variable speed pumps require a minimum capacity sufficient to
circulate the water underneath the cover. Otherwise, low circulation might overheat
solar slats. Overheating of slats might cause deformation of the slats which is
irreversible at all times.
• Because of differences in pool water- and ambient temperature, a bi-metal effect might
occur. This will result in having the ends of the slats bend downwards (when the
ambient air is warmer than the pool water) or in having the ends bend upwards (when
the pool water is warmer than the ambient air). This effect occurs more frequent in
case of darker (slat)colors.
• Plastic slats are extruded products. A deviation in straightness (both horizontally and
vertically) of 2 mm/m is within tolerance.
• In case of partial replacement or add-ons at later date, slight color differences might
occur.
• When using a pump with adjustable speed, make sure the water circulation under the
closed cover is still high enough to avoid the slats from burning
• The slats may only be exposed to sunlight when they are in full contact with the water.
Sole exception on this rule : white and sand coloured (beige) slats
The use of natural tropical wood as a finishing material :

• T&A uses premium quality IPE tropical wood which is a 100% natural product. As
such; color differences, minor cracks and deformation are a normal behavior of the
product and impossible to foresee. T&A cannot be held responsible or liable for this
natural process.
• Tropical IPE wood becomes naturally grey because of sun exposure. In case you want
to maintain the original color, it is recommended to treat the wood by professional
products on a regular base.
• Tropical IPE wood contains natural oils which might, in combination with rain or pool
water, mark spots on surrounding surfaces. Cleaning and sanding the wood before
mounting is advisable.
The use of panels and benches made out of fiberglass/composite

• T&A uses fibreglass with different layers of Polyester + Vinylester.
• The standard colour is white but a limlited choice of other colours is available.
• The products made out of fibreglass/composite meet the European standard. For more
details please consult the standard EN 16582-1 annex D.
Our standard plugs are made out of polyamide. These need to be fixed in full concrete or
masonry. It is the responsibility of the installer to check the stability and if needed replace with
chemical anchoring.
A1 - Constructional preparations: Top mount
General:
• Level control is necessary to install and use an automatic slatted cover. Provide an
overflow and a refilling system to guarantee the correct level in case of a skimmer
pool.
• Do not place any obstacles in the back or side walls which can interfere with the slats.
For example: skimmer covers, ladders, etc…
• The area where the supports for the roller have to be installed should be horizontal and
strong enough to hold the fixation.
• In the area where the slats go in and out of the pool, the coping stone should not
overlap the pool wall. If necessary cut the coping stone in this particular area.
• Roman ends, rectangular ends and other particular shapes cannot always be rolled up
completely.
Concept:
• Two SS brackets (1 on each side of the pool) support the roller shaft.
• There are different types of supports depending on the type of cover for the roller
shaft.

Motor pit
Concrete or (full) brickwork
General:
• Build a motor pit with a min. width of 60cm. In this way the motor will stay
accessible for the (de)mounting and electrical connection. Leave at least 200 mm free
space underneath the motor.
• The motor pit requires to be dry at all times. Do this by means of an evacuation pump
or a drainpipe (Ø25mm) at the bottom of the pit.
• Aeration of the motor pit is recommended in order to avoid motor damage through
condensate.
• See chapter “O7 – Option: Safety - System”.
Polyethylene
General:
• Position the shaft between min .70 – max. 110cm from the top lid of the motor pit.
• The polyethylene pit should sit on a concrete slab or stabilized sand.
• Provide a groove around the lid in order to avoid water leaking into the pit.

1. Installation of the roll-up shaft

• Mount (if necessary) the synthetic bearings at the outside of the SS support.
• Place the supports so that you can push the ends of the roller shaft through the
bearings. Turn the supports so that the bearings are at the pool side, in other words to
the roller shaft.
2. Installation of the supports

• Push the supports towards each other so that the bearings touch the bearing blocks in
the roller shaft.
• Position the roller shaft and supports symmetrically regarding to the middle of the
pool above the pool end.

with liner
General:
• Mount the wall duct before applying the lining according to chapter “A6 –
Constructional preparations: Underwater mount – Wall duct and motor pit for
external drive”.
• The most important thing, before pouring the polyester resin during the installation of
the wall duct is the sealing of- and the aligning with the roller shaft.

1. Installation of the wall duct tube

• Remove the casted PVC tube (Ø110mm) and make a channel in a 45° angle in order to
pour the resin to fix the wall duct.
• Apply min. 2 closed circles of silicon around the hole (Ø110mm), as well at the pool
side as the motor pit side. Use plenty of silicon in order to set off all the irregularities
of the wall.
• Mount the 2 stainless steel flanges on both sides using plenty of silicone. Further
screw the PVC-nut on the wall duct, also using plenty of silicone.
• Therefore you can use the key for the PVC-nut of the wall duct, see chapter “O9 –
Option: Preparation – Key for PVC-nut of the wall duct”. – (art. no. AT-001738)
MAN-AT-C2-1 Manual Aquatop (2019) 1

2. Aligning of the wall duct tube
• Fix the plates of the aligning set on the wall duct tube, with the “star” at the pool side.
• Fix the aligning rope in the centre of the bearing at the opposite side of the pool (e.g.
eye bolt) and put it then through the star, through the wall duct tube and through the
hole of the plate of the aligning set.
• Correct the position of the wall duct tube until the aligning rope goes through the
middle of the star, and as such will be in line with the roller shaft and the bearing
flange. Keep the aligning rope stretched constantly.
3. Fixing of the wall duct tube

• Mix the polyester resin and the hardener intensively (these are always delivered in the
right mixing proportion) and pour in the gaps around the wall duct tube until
completely full.
• Let the mixture harden at 20°C for about 2 hours. The hardening time depends on the
(ambient) temperature.
• Make sure to stock and use the resin at room temperature to avoid the mixture from
hardening too quickly

4. Installation of the bearings
• Please note that the resin mixture does not make sure that your pool is watertight, the
liner should take care of this.
• The bearing is being fixed on the wall duct tube by means of 4 bolts (M6).
On poolside, the bearing fits into the wall duct tube. On motor pit side, the part is
bolted directly onto the wall duct tube. Do not forget to place the flat sealing rings.
• Now mount the water seal ring in the dedicated space (fully inline) at the bearings.
The open side of the water seal ring faces the pool. Please use a rubber hammer as wel
as the supplied Vaseline for positioning. The water seal ring should be 100% in line.

C3 – mounting of mechanism: Underwater mount: External motor – Pool with
thin wall
General:
• Install the bearing blocks and the flange before filling up the pool.
• Use water seal rings to assure the water tightness.

• Mark and drill holes (Ø7mm) for the bearing block. Use the flat sealing as a drawing
mould.
• Drill the wall duct hole of Ø35mm in the centre (120-250-500 Nm) or Ø42mm (1000
Nm)
• Place the water seal rings in the bearing blocks with the open side of the ring facing
the pool. The ring must be positioned 100% in line/sunk.
• Bolt the pool wall between the pool bearing block and the outer bearing at the outside
of the pool. Put flat sealings between the bearing block and the wall at both sides of
the pool wall.
• In case of a composite pool or a pool made out of plastic (PP, PE) we recommend to
connect the outside stainless steel flange to the earth to avoid galvanic corrosion.

• Mark and make the boring holes (Ø7mm) for the flange in the wall. Use the flat
sealing as a drawing mould.
• Bolt the pool wall between the flange and the outer flange with blind holes. Put flat
sealings between the flange and the wall at both sides of the pool wall.

3. Installation of the roll-up shaft

• Push the drive shaft (Ø 30mm) with setting ring into the roller shaft and immediately
make the connection with the en flange (Bolt/nut M10). Now insert the drive shaft into
the wall duct. Do not forget to apply the protective ring. Now you can make/tighten
the connection carefully. Do not damage any parts !
• Attention : There are different connections for the 120/250 Nm motors and the
500/1000 Nm motors !
• Push the roll-up shaft up against the wall duct so that the driving flange will touch the
protection ring.
• Fasten the setting ring with the screws on the flange, but leave a space of 5mm
between the roll-up shaft and the setting ring. In this way the shaft will not get
jammed in case of expansion.

C4 – Mounting of mechanism: Underwater mount: SCUBA-drive® with wall
plates
General:
• The SCUBA-drive® tubular motor is being delivered with a 10m long motor cable,
connected to the motor.
• Bring the motor cable outside the swimming pool, through a conduit to a connection
box.
• This connection box must be accessible at all times, as such the motor can be
dismounted during maintenance.
• It is extremely important to use the supplied polyester resin in the connection box in
order to avoid water damage to motor and/or control box. In case the supplied resin is
not used; warranty will be void.
• There are several kinds of wall plates, depending on how to implement the cover.
• We strongly recommend to use our cable connection kit (see AT-MAN-B4 : Electrical
preparations)
• In case of a composite pool or a pool made out of plastic (PP, PE) we recommend to
connect the plates to the earth to avoid galvanic corrosion.
Remark: If the standard wall plates do not offer you a solution, you can always contact T&A
for tailor-made plates.
Choice of wall plates

Flat Deep mounting
1. Installation of the wall plates

• Place the wall plates against the wall tightly, so that both flanges of the roller shaft are
at the desirable depth, and of course in line with the plate on the opposite side.
• Apply enough silicon after drilling the holes in order to assure the water tightness.
• When using a liner, this will create a slight level difference. This difference can be
compensated using a filler plate

▪ Place the track stopper (see picture below).
B1 (according to order)

D – Slats
The slats may only be exposed to sunlight when they are floating on the water surface
and have full contact with the water !!
All activities on the slats must be executed under a canvas,
protected from direct sun exposure !!
Condensate in slats with a transparent top layer is a fully normal phenomenon and
caused
by the diffence in temperature between the pool water and the ambient air !!
Slats with glued end caps may only be mounted and exposed to water and UV 8 days after
production. In addition, the slats should always be protected from direct sunlight if not in
contact with the swimming pool water.
During the installation of the roller shutter, be careful not to damage or detach the end
caps. It takes an average of 6 weeks for the glue to dry 100%.
1. Installation
General:
• Respect the order of the slats in the box: on top you will find the slats for
the pool end, this is the opposite side of where the cover will be installed.
• Avoid friction on the end caps and bending of the slats during transport of the box to
the pool, by rolling up the bundles.
• Orientation of the slats: the curved side is the upper side of the slat; the open side is
pointed to the pool end. The slat has a male (lip) and female (open chamber) side.
MAN-AT-D Manual Aquatop (2019) 1

Slat profile 60 x 14 mm
Slat profile 67,5 x 16,5 mm
The front of the first slat could cause damage to the opposite pool wall because of the slight
movement of the pool water. We advise to order a silicone strip which you can insert into
the open front of the first slat to avoid this problem.
2. Mounting of the slatted cover

Click method
• Click the slats at one side in each other.
• Make an opposite rotating move with both slats at the other end in order for the slats
to connect automatically towards you.
Remark:
Pay attention to the order of the operations; do not apply this method on both sides of the
cover at the same time. The slats will get stuck!!
Slide method

• Put the male side of the slat into the female side.
• Now push the rest of the slats in each other carefully.
ATTENTION : Slats with welded endcaps can also be clicked or slided. You
require to attach the missing endcaps immediately afterwards. Please NEVER
roll the cover on the shaft before installing the endcaps !!! Endcaps can easily
be removed carefully using a small screwdriver.
3. Fixing the cover on the roller shaft.
• There are threaded holes on the roller shaft on a regular distance. You require to
screw the polyester ribbons (supplied) to the shaft. Do not use longer screws as they
might damage an incorporated motor.
• Cut the remainder of the ribbon. Make equally long!
• Push the first slat through all the loops of the ribbons. Then click the next slat on the
first one, so that the ribbon gets stuck between the slats.

Remark:
Don’t use longer bolts with a SCUBA-drive® to attach the ribbons on the roll-up shaft; you
could damage the tubular motor!
4. Accessories related to slatted covers
1. Guiding
General:
• The slats must be guided in the right direction whenever the cover is being closed.
• Therefore we have the following solutions:
o Ballast tube
o Spoiler
o Triangles
o Overflow set
Ballast tube
The ballast tube will be attached to the crossbeam (SS or ALU) and hung over the roll.
Correct the length of the ribbons such way that the tube hangs 50mm above the bottom of the
niche when the cover is fully rolled. The ballast tube always guides the cover in the right
direction while unrolling and slightly pushes the slats towards the shaft while rolling-up.

Remark:
A mark of the ribbons on the cover is inevitable, but certainly does not have any effect on the
functionality of it. This option/solution is recommended above all others.
Triangles
If the cover has the tendency to ‘hit’ somewhere, e.g. the outer corner of the roman staircase
or the sidemounted skimmers, you better use the PVC triangles. The triangles will push the
cover in the right direction and away from the obstacle. In case you mention this during the
order process, T&A supplies with pre-installed triangles on the cover.
The triangles are being fixed with a screw in the lip of the end cap.
Welded endcaps:
• Except the standard caps, there are 2 different sizes (Small & Large). By using these
caps you can make small changes in the length of the slats
• You can easily remove the caps with a small screwdriver.

Overflow set
If you have an overflow pool, you can use the overflow set to avoid the cover floating over the edge
of the pool. This set contains guiding wheels to install at both outsides underneath the first slat (in-
line with the outside of the cover) and the stainless steel brackets to be equally devided over the full
length of the cover.
Remark:
The first slat (including the guiding wheels) cannot be rolled on the cover in following situations :
- Underwater mount in the pool floor (underwater panel)
- Underwater mount on the pool floor (underwater bench)
The overflow set cannot be used for every kind of edge/coping stone (see sketch below).
ATTENTION : The overflow set is never a guarantee to prevent your cover (whenever closed) from
blowing off the pool in case of heavy (side) winds, the only correct solution would be to
(automatically) lower the pool water level. This also offers a positive influence on the evaporation
over the overflow channel.

AT-005010
Overflow set slats with welded end caps
• Install the wheel on the fixation plate
• Screw the fixation plate on the first slat
• Install the bracket at the side of the open chamber in case of

an underwater mounted cover
(The bracket needs to be able to pivot under the end cap)
• Install the bracket at the side of the tail in case of a

top mounted cover
(The bracket needs to be able to pivot under the end cap)

2: Slipping of the slats
General:
In case of an irregular pool shape the cover can ‘slip’. The last winding might slip of the roll
(without the motor activated), this will result in not respecting the end positions of the cover.
This phenomenon is caused by the weight difference of the slats in case of a top mounted
cover or by the upward driving power in case of an underwater mounted cover.
You can reduce this risk by leaving a part of the cover on the water surface. Alternatively, you
could use the anti-slip clamps (AT-003090). Please be aware that these clamps might scratch
the cover at other positions which are often in contact with the clamps.
It is important to consider this problem during the design-process of the pool.
In case of particular pool shapes it issometimes impossible to fully roll the cover !

In case ther are skimmers installed at the rear of the pool, it’s possible to order custommade
skimmerslats.
Installation skimmerslats
(Solar / Transparent slats needs to be protected from the sun!)
Put the slimmerslats at the right

place
Put a long slat at front of the

skimmerslats to drawn the cutouts
Drawn at the male part of the slats the cutout at the

point of the endcap of the skimmerslat
Cut carefully the cutouts and

install the slats.
Install thes in the cover so

the openings are at front of

E7 – Connecting control: Top’Moov
NOTE: Top’Moov installation with solar panels, fully charged of the batteries are needed
before using the cover the 1st time, or use the optional emergency power supply.
General:
▪ The tubular motor has two end of running contacts inside to set the end positions.
The end of running contacts limit the run time of the motor in both directions.
▪ The positions of the end of running contacts can be changed with a screw contact.
The run time of the motor can be extended (+) or reduced (-) with the screw
contact. The screw contact can be set with the (delivered) synthetic screwdriver.
▪ The right arrow on the motor indicates the turn direction of the motor.
Installation:
STEP 1:
(Starting from the fact that this is the 1st installation on this site and so the slats are lying on
the water, ready to be rolled up.) Put the key contact in the position corresponding to the
‘opening’ of the cover, now the roller shaft should roll the slats. Let the roller shaft turn until
it stops, in other words until it reaches its end position contact.
STEP 2:
- If the roller shaft stops before the cover is rolled completely, the run time must be extended
(+). Turn the screw contact at the pool side step by step in the ‘+’direction, now the cover
should ‘open’ further. Repeat this until the cover is fully ‘open’.
- If the roller shaft runs longer than necessary (‘slipping‘), the run time must be reduced (-).
Close the cover for at least 25%. Turn the screw contact at the pool side instinctively in the ‘-’
direction. Repeat ‘step 2’ as long as the cover keeps ‘revolving’ while ‘opening’.

STEP 3:
Put the key contact in the position according to the ‘closing’ of the cover, the roller shaft
should now unroll the slats. Let the roller shaft run until it stops, in other words until it
reached its end position contact.
STEP 4:
- If the roller shaft stops before the cover is rolled of, the run time must be extended (+). Turn
the other screw contact step by step in the ‘+’direction, now the cover should ‘close’ further.
Repeat this until the cover is fully ‘closed’.
- If the roller shaft does not stop before the entire cover is rolled of, the run time must be
reduced (-). Open the pool for at least 25%. Turn the other screw contact instinctively in the
‘-’ direction. Repeat ‘step 4’ as long as the cover keeps revolving while ‘closing’.
The cover is ready for normal use.
General:
▪ The Top’Moov must always be locked with the brake!
▪ May only be used as a bench and not as a diving platform. Maximum load = 100kg.
▪ You can operate the cover (Open/Close) with the key switch.
▪ The keyswitch is being delivered pre-wired.
▪ The key switch is set up a constant contact (Standard), the cover keeps running
until end position if the key is released
▪ Remark: the key switch can also be set up differently. Therefore demount the
key switch and install the yellow chip according to the position.

F – Use and maintenance
1. Opening & closing
• Clear the pool first.

• The water should be in rest.
• Make sure there are no persons, animals or objects in or around the pool which can
disturb the normal operation of the cover.
• Check if the water level is within the accepted levels. An automatic level control and
overflow are necessary.
• Always observe the movement of the cover during ‘opening/closing’.
In case of irregularities, turn off the cover immediately with the key switch on the
operation panel.
• Never force the cover during ‘opening/closing’.
• A pool cover is a tool to raise the safety , but can never replace the surveillance of
a responsible adult!
MAN-AT-F Manual Aquatop (2019) 1

2. Maintenance
Slats
Remove at least 2 times a year the scale and dirt of the slats with a high-pressure cleaner.
(Special decalcifier is available from your AQUATOP® supplier)
The open side of a solar- or a transparent slat can contain algae. Treat this by applying anti-
algae product on the cover.
The chemical pool water balance should always comply with the normal values of Chlorine
and pH
The water temperature can be 32°C maximum.
Slats become more sensitive at lower temperatures (frost), please handle them with care.
In case of a serious hailstorm, it is strongly recommended to open the cover to avoid damage.
Organic and vegetal material, such as leaves, pine-needles, grass, etc. must be removed from
the cover. Rotting material can cause irremovable spots and stains on the slats. Keep the
niche clean and avoid dirt between the different windings of the slatted cover.
Don’t set foot on the cover if not necessary, the cover is not a playing area for kids.
Never bring the cover in contact with hard objects.
During exposure to sunlight, all slats must always (in every situation) keep full contact with
the pool water or must be covered from the sunlight.
It is important to run your filtration or circulation pump at all times whenever the cover is
closed as this is required to cool the slats whenever they are on the water. Having no
circulation can seriously damage and burn the slats. Temperatures can rais high right
underneath the cover.
Condensation in the closed chambers of the slats is inevitable and as such visible through the
upper transparent layer of solar- and transparent slats. This condensate is caused by the
differences in temperature between the pool water and the ambient air. It is a fully natural
process and will disappear or appear whenever temperatures change.
When using a pump with adjustable speed, make sure that the water circulation under the
closed cover is still high enough to avoid the slats from burning.
The slats may only be exposed to sunlight when they are in full contact with the water.
Sole exception on this rule : white and sand coloured (beige) slats.
External motor
The motor pit needs to remain totally dry. Check every time after rainshower or high
groundwater if there is water inside the pit. (You can secure the motor pit in several ways.)
Dismount the motor after the swimming season to store it inside in a dry place in order to
avoid unnecessary damage to the motor during the winter period. The roller shaft needs to be
blocked before removing the motor to avoid the slats from unrolling. (Key for blocking the
shaft is available from your AQUATOP® supplier. See chapter “O9 – Option: Preparation
and maintenance: Key for external electrical motor”.)
Winter
No use during the winter period:

First clean the cover thoroughly and roll the cover into the pit using streps to prevent the
cover from unrolling. Protect the cover from direct sun exposure.

Lower the water level under the injectors/inlets.
Close the filter installation.
Aternatively, you can leave the water in the pool at normal level depending on the set-up of
the pool and/or depending on the local weather conditions during winter time. Always protect
the cover from direct sun exposure.
For top mounted covers, leave the cover rolled on the roller shaft and very important; prevent
the cover from direct sun exposure by covering it !
Use during the winter period:
Make sure there is no frost on the cover/slats should not be frozen.
Keep an eye on all above mentioned precautions !!
ECOTOP®
• Make sure there is always enough sunlight on the photovoltaic solar panel of the
ECOTOP® cover. Therefore clean the panel regularly with a moist cloth.
• If the cover is not used for a longer period (>2 months), we recommend to store the
batteries in a dry room at 20°C. Temperatures below 0°C will shorten the life span of
the batteries
Errors
In case of defect or malfunction of the cover, always contact your AQUATOP® installer.
