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 (fibreglass or concrete) 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 (fibreglass or concrete).

​

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 has spent 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 with our exclusive HydroPro valve.
