Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Why are brass anchors preferred over stainless steel for pool cover applications?
Brass anchors offer superior corrosion resistance in chlorinated environments compared to most stainless steels. While stainless steel can suffer from chloride stress corrosion cracking, brass maintains its structural integrity and appearance over decades of exposure to pool chemicals. The natural corrosion resistance of naval brass makes it ideal for permanent pool installations where long-term reliability is essential.
Q2: What is the expected lifespan of brass pool cover anchors?
Properly installed brass pool cover anchors typically provide 20-30 years of reliable service in normal pool environments. The corrosion resistance of naval brass ensures that anchors maintain their mechanical strength and appearance through years of exposure to pool chemicals, UV radiation, and weather extremes. Many of our installations from decades ago continue to perform flawlessly.
Q3: Can brass anchors be used in saltwater swimming pools?
Yes, brass anchors are excellent for saltwater pool applications. The C46400 naval brass alloy was specifically developed for marine environments and provides outstanding resistance to saltwater corrosion. In fact, brass often outperforms stainless steel in saltwater applications because it doesn’t suffer from the same pitting and crevice corrosion issues.
Q4: Do you provide custom anchor solutions for unique pool designs?
Absolutely. We specialise in custom brass anchor solutions for unusual pool shapes, special deck materials, unique cover systems, and architectural requirements. Our engineering team can develop tailored anchor designs for circular pools, infinity edges, custom stone decks, and specialty cover systems. We work directly with pool designers and architects to create perfect solutions for challenging installations.
Q5: What installation methods are recommended for different deck materials?
We recommend specific installation techniques for various deck materials: epoxy setting in concrete for maximum strength, mechanical expansion in natural stone, through-bolting for wood decks, and specialised adhesives for pavers. Our comprehensive installation guidelines provide detailed instructions for each deck material type, and our technical support team is available to assist with challenging installations.
