Formed in 1984 as a pool cover maintenance company and manufacturer of upgraded replacement parts for various automatic-cover systems, the company began manufacturing the earliest version of its own automatic cover system, the Solar 2000 in 1986.
In 1992, the company launched its first nationwide distribution campaign with the most-state-of-the-art system available, the
INFINITY 4000, which set a new standard for excellence and innovation in the automatic cover industry.
Thanks to this low-maintenance, user friendly system, within a short time, the company soon dominated several automatic cover markets around the country.
Still considered to be "an engineering masterpiece in progress," the company continues to refine the INFINITY 4000, which now boasts the most powerful motor in the industry, the strongest pulleys, the most durable, "tested" fabric and rope, driver gears that continue to boast a zero-failure rate (and which carry a lifetime warranty). The industry's only electronic torque limiter (with bi-directional sensitivity), the industry's only redundant (backup) autostop system, the industry's strongest drive pin (not a shear pin!).
In addition, the system includes the industry's most extensive array of track options (11 in all) in addition to Total Package components designed to integrate installation of INFINITY 4000 aesthetically into the substructures of every vinyl-liner kit pool on the market and most precast (fiberglass) pools.
In 1997, the company shattered the status quo once again with the introduction of the world's finest economical automatic cover system, the POWERTRAK. This low-voltage system has a self-contained power source requiring no electrical preparation or expense, making it an ideal retro-fit system that can be installed more quickly than any other automatic cover.
The company now produces the largest line of safety cover systems in the world: The INFINITY 4000, the company's high-end "bread-and-butter" system, the POWERTRAK line, which satisfied the existing-pool and lower-end market segments, and the MINIMATIC, designed specifically for spa and swim spa applications, the ALMOST-AUTO, a semi-automatic cover system, and the
MANUALTRAK, a manually-operated track system.
In the late 1990's, the company began setting up a worldwide distribution network that now includes four warehouse distribution centers in Europe and one in Mexico and the company is in the process of partnering with one of its European associates to set up a manufacturing plant in Spain, from which the company will ship systems to all of it's European distributors.
Pool Cover Specialists corporate headquarters is located in West Jordan, Utah. In 2002, the company revolutionized the industry again by opening a 40,000 sqft. "sister" facility in Indiana, making PCS the only cover manufacturer with bi-coastal manufacturing and distribution facilities (65,000 combined sq. ft.). Both facilities enable PCS to deliver its product and services in a timley manner.
State-of-the-art manufacturing equipment combined with highly efficient manufacturing systems enable PCS to offer unprecedented services: Maximum 48-hour shipping window on standard systems and replacement fabrics, same-day fulfillment of standard parts orders, and 1 to 3 day shipping transit anywhere in the continental U.S. (thanks to the company's bi-coastal shipping hubs).
