Luxury Pool Liner Manufacturer, LOOP-LOC, Discusses Their 40th Anniversary
HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Jan. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Manufacturer of luxury pool liners that services New Jersey, LOOP-LOC, discusses their 40th anniversary.
This year marks LOOP-LOC's 40th anniversary. The company has a stellar reputation in the pool industry, and has created and manufactured many extraordinary pool covers, liners, and treatments over the years?which are used in and around pools worldwide. Read on for the fascinating history of this innovative company.
Bill Donaton, the founder of LOOP-LOC, co-invented safety swimming pool covers in 1957. Donaton envisioned a new type of pool cover that would allow the water to drain through?rather than collect?on the cover. He introduced the first mesh safety swimming pool cover that fall in Connecticut, and the response was incredible.
Twenty-one years later, in 1978, Donaton founded LOOP-LOC with five employees. He continued developing many safety improvements and enhancements to the covers. Notable advances included the company's GAPGUARD® and SAFEDGE®?which are now known as CABLE-LOCtm Child Safety Intrusion Barriers?a plastic extrusion designed to close the gaps created where the edge of the cover meets a raised obstruction. He received U.S. Patent #4,982,457 for this groundbreaking feature.
During the subsequent years, Donaton and his employees worked tirelessly to ensure LOOP-LOC covers were the best in the industry. In 2000, Bill's daughter, LeeAnn Donaton Pesta, became President and CEO.
Today, the company's safety pool covers are known as "The ELEPHANTtm Cover" because they are strong enough to support the weight of an elephant, as seen in their advertisements. The company takes many steps to ensure these covers meet and exceed ASTM standards for Safety Swimming Pool Covers F 1346-91. As an added safety measure, they have also undergone extensive outside testing through Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.) and have earned the U.L. seal of approval for safety swimming pool covers. These covers are an excellent choice to offer pool owners.
