One of the potential risks of owning any swimming pool is the possibility of damage due to a hydrostatic event. Essentially, ‘hydrostatic damage’ can occur when the water level in the ground rises higher than the water level in your pool. When this happens, your pool will naturally want to lift or float…a bit like a boat. As the ground water subsides again, and the pressure on your pool reduces, it can result in significant structural damage to your pool.
With the increasing regularity of extreme weather events and intense rainfall, we wanted to eliminate this risk for all Compass Pool customers. The key to preventing damage from occurring is to quickly release growing ground water pressure before it’s too late.
The Compass Research and Development team have spent the last three years testing and perfecting a patented hydrostatic valve that is so sensitive and has such high flow rates that we can now offer a unique hydrostatic damage warranty.
Our new patented and exclusive hydrostatic valve system has been developed to dramatically reduce rising ground water pressure at rates that are 5 times greater than industry standard valves used in fibreglass pools.
In what we believe is a world first, we are now able to offer a lifetime warranty against damaged caused by hydrostatic pressure – which is nearly always excluded from home insurance policies and manufacturer’s warranties.
