Discover the Aero-Dome

 Discover the Aero-Dome air supported pool enclosure and realize the full potential of your pool.  Out door pools are great but they do present problems—we all know them. Here is the Aero-Dome, the pool enclosure that beautifully, efficiently and economically solves these irritating shortcomings.  At last you can have warm, wind less year-round swimming comfort without the drudgery and expense of pool maintenance.  Constructed of 20 mill poly-vinyl chloride, the Aero Dome is engineered to withstand the most extreme weather conditions yet are flexible enough to fold to about the size of a foot locker for easy storage.  When needed it can be installed in about an hour.  It is inflated by an automatic blower system that cycles off and on, providing additional air as needed.  The structure has no inner framework whatsoever.  Snugly in place, it completely seals out leaves and debris.  By eliminating direct sunshine on the water, the Aero-Dome reduces chlorine consumption from 50 to 70 percent.  It so efficiently conserves heat that in many parts of the country winter heating costs are less than in summer.  Your pool will cease to be just a beautiful but expensive part of your backyard landscaping.  An Aero-Dome promises 12 months of swimming fun and relaxation.

General specifications

• All models of the “Aero-Dome” are constructed of heavy gauge (20 mil) PVC (poly-vinyl chloride) with 30 mil PVC used in the water tubes.
• Though extremely durable, the material can be punctured by sharp objects.  Extra material and an easy to use patch kit are furnished with each Aero-Dome.
  
• The zipper entry is constructed of heavy-duty, non-corrosive nylon.  Occasional lubrication with an aerosol penetrating oil or silicone spray is recommended, in the event of zipper failure, a new zipper simply ‘snaps” into place.
• The average back yard enclosure takes from 8 to 14 minutes to inflate to full height.  This means that in cases where the dome might interfere with the view, it can be left flat over the pool and inflated only when needed.  The pool remains protected and the view unhindered.
  
• Generally diving boards and slides are removed when an Aero-Dome is installed, and the dome is measured to fit inside the diving board supports.  If diving is desired, the Aqua-line model should be ordered and dimensioned to house the diving board.
  
• When the “Aero-Dome” is installed, the pool is protected from small children.  The zipper can be locked to prevent unauthorized entry.
  
• When the Aero-Dome” is inflated, it in no way interferes with automatic pool cleaners.  However, the need for such expensive equipment is virtually eliminated when an Aero Dome” is installed.
  
• The’Aero-Dome is supported by .5 hp, centrifugal blower unit which supplies 950 c.f.m.  A pressure regulator is wired into the blower and when the dome is at full height, the blower cycles off and on, supplying air as needed.  A redwood cover is supplied to house the blower and is included in the pricing.
