Abstract:
A system for uncovering and covering a swimming pool, comprising:a portable low voltage power source; a pool cover; retracting means for retracting the pool cover from an extended position covering the pool, the retracting means being fixedly attached to a pool deck; first coupling means for temporarily and releasably coupling the portable low voltage power source to the retracting means, such that the low voltage power source may be activated to cause the retracting means to retract the pool cover from an extended position, the first coupling means accessible at a first end of the pool, wherein the extending means is resting adjacent the retracting means; extending means for extending the pool cover to an extended position covering the pool; second coupling means for temporarily and releasably coupling the portable low voltage power source to the extending means, such that the low voltage power source may be activated to cause the extending means to extend the pool cover to an extended position, the second coupling means accessible at the first end of the pool.
