  Deeply update the Aqualife pool covers range; which include above water, in water, solar operated machanism and mobile cover.I worked on the automatic Aqualife Hydro cover (powered motor by water with no electrical connections required), the first pool cover working with a water engine.As newbie in this industry, I have put all my design skills and my manufacturing knowledges to change the whole products range; with smoother shapes to better integrate the product into the user environment and to break the "old style" which reigned in this Pool cover industry.The industrial process used on the products was mainly plastic injection molding, roto-molding, TIG welding and CNC machining.I have worked all my projects to respect the harsh Pool Safety Standard NF P90-308.
