The Katchakid - Pool Safety Net
General Description
The Katchakid swimming pool safety net is specifically designed as a barrier to help protect children from exposed, open water. Rather like a large tennis racket, the net is stretched over the pool and anchored with flush mounted fasteners. Swimming pools, spa's, split decks and rockeries present no difficulty as the Katchakid net is shaped to suit the water feature.
The Central Tension System - CTS
The Katchakid has a built in centrally tensioned system (CTS) that can be adjusted from tight to very tight and is designed in such a way that it cannot be removed by most children under the age of 12 years. The CTS is a multifaceted system that uses a series of pulley's set in a circular fashion, which open and close to control the tension of the net. The correct configuration and size of the CTS together among a necessary amount of pulleys determine a pool net's efficiency. The Katchakid uses an average of 12 to 16 pulleys per net. Larger pools, those over 40ft., usually require 2 x CTS systems

Netting Material
The Katchakid pool nets are manufactured in durable 4mm High Density Polyethylene Braid. The ASTM bureau requires all safety nets and covers to support the weight of 485lbs and the Katchakid effortlessly complies with this standard, the material is strong enough to support the weight of any adult. The pool-netting material is chemically treated with laboratory developed maximum UV stabilized inhibitors so the Katchakid will not shrink or fade when subjected to harsh climatic conditions. The Katchakid comes in two color options - Ocean Blue or Coal Jet Black. Technical research, constant modification and development have set the Katchakid mesh specifications. The mesh size is designed to prevent a toddlers head going through the Katchakid but large enough to limit a child's movement on the net.
