40 Years of a Legacy Tom Tiler - Founder · 1932-2002
In their early twenties and with very little money in their pockets, Tom Tiler, and his wife Sheila, came to Canada from England hoping to find a better life and more opportunity. For over 20 years, Tom worked in the corporate environment where he honed his need to produce quality products and provide outstanding customer service. But, being entrepreneurial, Tom, along with a colleague, decided to venture out and start a business that eventually evolved and became HST Synthetics Ltd in 1974. This new company started as a manufacturer of pool blankets during the growth years of the swimming pool industry in Canada. HST Synthetics’ first product was called the “Sunblanket”, an energy saving pool cover that reduced pool water heat loss. The “Sunblanket” gradually developed into the “Sunbubble”, a product that HST still manufactures today. The HST Synthetics partnership dissolved eventually and the Tiler family became the sole owner of the company. As the swimming pool industry and backyard living markets grew so did HST Synthetics with the addition of new products and several facility expansions. HST Synthetics was one of the first companies to start manufacturing spa covers in Canada and quickly grew into one of the largest, a position they still proudly hold today. Now, 40 years later, HST Synthetics remains a leading supplier to the pool and spa industry across Canada and Europe. Sadly and unexpectedly, Tom Tiler passed away in 2002. However, the Tiler family cherishes the legacy that Tom created and continues to honor his example of caring about the customer and consistently works to produce the best quality products and customer service possible. On behalf of the Tiler Family and all of the HST Synthetics employees, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our customers for their continued support. We look forward to the next 40 years! Julia Tiler President HST Synthetics Ltd.

through evaporation. The Sunbubble ™ reduces this evaporation. Your chemical costs are consequently reduced, and your water loss is virtually eliminated. The Sunbubble ™ dramatically increases the efficiency of your pool heater, reducing heating costs. Fits any pool, in ground or above-ground, from small to Olympic size. Within minutes it can be trimmed to fit any shaped pool. Attractive marine blue tint enhances the natural beauty of your pool. The Sunbubble ™ design, together with its unique chemical formula, will give you a durable, efficient, long lasting pool cover.
The sun’s heat is transmitted through the translucent Sunbubble ™ and is absorbed in the water below. Floating on the surface, thousands of unique solar air cells retain the absorbed heat to raise the pool temperature by up to 10-15˚ F. This lets you swim comfortably more hours in the day, more days in the year.
Maintaining your pool can cost a small fortune as costly chemicals and water are continually being lost

Thermo-Wall™ provides a vapor barrier between the liner and the pool wall to help preserve the water temperature and to protect the pool wall from premature deterioration caused by condensation, which causes the wall to corrode. Temperature differences between the warm water and the cool temperatures behind the pool wall allows moisture to collect between the wall and liner. The vapor barrier prevents this from occurring. Thermo-Wall™ is the only true pool wall insulation in the marketplace today. Thermo-Wall™ will also make it nice when you kick-off or press on the pool wall, because it feels soft. Thermo-Wall™ creates a more uniform appearance on the inside of the pool liner helping to camouflage pool wall seams and imperfections.
Thermo-Wall™ pool insulation is excellent for residential, commercial and even HVAC applications where optimal protection from radiant heat loss is needed.

SAFETYCOVERS Classic Mesh: Many of our dealers have asked us for a cover built to compete in the lower end safety cover market. Classic mesh covers still have the precise fit and finish we are known for, but without the upgraded materials used in our other covers. Classic mesh is an entry level safety cover.
Dura-Mesh: Increased filament sizes and increased number of filaments used, means your Dura-Mesh cover is designed to outperform any other standard mesh cover on the market. By tightening the weave of the filaments and increasing the filament size itself, Dura-Mesh allows much less sand, silt and debris to pass through the cover, while still allowing for rain and melting snow to pass through. Providing 91% shade Dura-Mesh means a cleaner pool in the spring. By using thicker filaments in a denser weave, Dura-Mesh is designed for superior performance under harsh conditions. Dura-Mesh is made with higher abrasion resistance to last longer. • • • • •
14% Thicker 20% Increase in Tensile Strength in length 60% Increase in Tensile Strength in the width 40% Stronger Burst Strength Significantly better filtration of debris from other standard mesh materials
Smart-Mesh™ *** Patent Approved *** • Smart-Mesh is not just another mesh cover! This revolutionary product will give you an edge over your competition. Offer your customers something different, something that works. • 100% Shade minimizes algae risk • Average filtration down to 40 microns. (Sand filters typically filter to 20-30 microns.) • Smart-Mesh is 40% lighter than solid cover material.

SAFE T YCOVER GUIDE These instructions have been included in this guidebook to help you price a safety cover yourself. It is only meant as a guide to help you get a rough idea of what a particular cover will cost. When quoting your customer a firm price, please fax Merlin for an exact quote from our Customer Service Department. Merlin will gladly quote any size or shape. For a firm quote please use our Professional Safety Cover Order Form. All measurements 3” and higher are rounded up to the next foot for quoting purposes. Example: 16’3” is rounded to 17’, then add overlap for cover.
Rectangles Use Rectangular Pricing: Pools under 2000 sq. ft. are made with 4’-6’ spacing known as “5x5 spacing” and a 12” to 15” overlap. Pools over 2000 sq. ft. must be made with 3x3 spacing, which ranges approx. 2’-4’ and 18” overlap. Add 2 ft. to both the longest length and widest width of the pool when pricing. Example: A cover for this rectangle in Dura-Mesh with 5x5 spacing. 18’x37’ pool size equals 20’x39’ cover size, which equals 780 sq.ft. 780 sq.ft x $1.78 = $1,388.40 retail price.
Grecians Use Rectangular Pricing: Pools under 2000 sq. ft. are made with 4’-6’ spacing known as “5x5 spacing” and a 12” to 15” overlap. Pools over 2000 sq. ft. must be made with 3x3 spacing, which ranges 2’-4’. Add 2 ft. to both the longest length and widest width of the pool when pricing. Example: A cover for this Grecian in Dura-Mesh with 5x5 spacing. 18’x37’ pool size equals 20’x39’ cover size which equals 780 sq.ft. 780 sq.ft x $1.78 + $100 (2 Grecian ends) =$1488.40 retail price.
Romans Use Rectangular Pricing: Pools under 2000 sq. ft. are made with 4’-6’ spacing and a 12” to 15” overlap. Pools over 2000 sq. ft. must be made with 3x3 spacing, which ranges 2’-4’.

Ovals Ovals are priced differently depending on whether they have 3x3 or 5x5 spacing: 5x5 Spacing: Use rectangular 5x5 pricing. Add 2 ft. to the longest width and 3 feet to the longest length (ovals will have an 18” overlap along the curved ends). Add $50 for each oval end. Example: A cover for this oval at right in Dura-Mesh with 5x5 spacing. 18’x36’ pool size equals 20’x39’ cover size, which equals 780 sq.ft. 780 sq. ft. x $1.70 + $100 (2 oval ends)= $1,426.00 retail price. 3x3 spacing: Use rectangular 3x3 pricing. Add 2 ft. to the longest width and 3 ft. to the longest length (ovals will have an 18” overlap along the curved ends.) Add $50 for each oval end. Example: A cover for this oval at right in Dura-Mesh with 3x3 spacing. 18’x36’ pool size equals 20’x39’ cover size, which equals 780 sq. ft. 780 sq. ft. x $2.20 +$100 (2 oval ends) = $1,816.00 retail price.

SAFE T YCOVER GUIDE True L Use Rectangular Pricing: Pools under 2000 sq. ft. are made with 4’-6’ spacing and a 12” to 15” overlap. Pools over 2000 sq.ft. must be made with 3x3 spacing, which ranges 2’-4’ and 18” overlap. Make two Rectangles from the True L. Add 2 ft. to the length and width of the larger rectangle and 2 feet to one side of the smaller rectangle when pricing. Example: A cover for this True L in Dura-Mesh with 5x5 spacing. 18’x36’ pool size equals 20’x38’ cover size which equals 760 sq.ft. 12’x10’ pool size equals 10’x14’ cover size which equals 140 sq.ft. Add both pools together: 760 + 140=900 sq.ft. x $1.74 =$1,566.00 retail price.
Kidneys, Freeforms, & Other Unusual Shapes Use Freeform Pricing: All kidneys and other freeform shapes are made with 3x3 spacing and 18” overlap only. Add 3’ to the longest length and widest width of the pool. Include all extensions in length and width measurements. Example: A cover for this kidney in Dura-Mesh with 3x3 spacing. 18’x36’ pool size equals 21’x39’ cover size, which equals 819 sq. ft. 819 sq. ft. x $2.56= $2,096.64 retail price.

Wedge Shape Pool s Use Rectangular Pricing: If the difference between the two end walls of the pool is less than 6 feet, use the larger end wall to figure your square footage like a normal rectangle. If the difference between the two end walls of the pool is greater than 6 feet, use the average of the two walls to figure your square footage. Example: A cover for this wedge shape pool in Dura-Mesh with 5x5 spacing and 12” overlap. 10+20=30 divide by 2 = 15 15’x32’ pool size equals 17’x34’ cover size, which equals 578 sq. ft. 578 sq. ft. x $2.00= $1,156.00 + $270.00 (2 Full Length wedge cuts)=$1,426.00 retail price.
Lazy L 3x3 Spacing: Create two rectangles within the lazy L shape as shown on the right. Add 2 ft. to the longest length and widest width of both rectangles. Add sq. ft. of each rectangle together for total square footage. Example: A cover for the lazy L at the right in Dura-Mesh with 3x3 spacing. Two rectangles or pool size 1’6x28’ and 16’x18’. Cover size equals 18’x30’ and 18’x20’ respectively. This totals 540 and 360 sq. ft. cover size, or 900 sq. ft. total cover size. Use 3x3 rectangle pricing. 900 sq. ft. x $2.16=$1,944.00 +$150 (lazy L charge) =$2,094.00 retail price. 5x5 spacing: Same as above, but use 5x5 rectangle pricing. Add $250 to total sq. ft. cost, 900 sq. ft. x $1.74= $1,566.00 + $150 (lazy L charge) = $1,716.00 retail cost. 905.670.3432

Makes opening your above ground pool
Easy Work! Eliminates:
The dread of pool openings Cover Parachuting Leaves & debris on your cover Pumping off water at opening The need for a huge volume of water to refill the pool • Standing water which promote mosquitoes that could carry the West Nile virus • • • • •
A Revolution In Traditional Winter Covers
SMARTDRAIN eliminates water accumulation with a fine blue mesh screen that runs in a line down the centre of the cover. During winter, ice and snow weigh down the cover in the centre and when spring warmth melts the precipitation, the water simply filters into the pool through the mesh. As the water runs down into the pool, the cover slowly rises until it is stretched tightly across the pool. Winter debris such as leaves and dirt dry up and blow away.
Water Tubes: Available in 8’ and 10’ lengths, single chamber, double chamber or deluxe.
Deluxe Tubes: Intermittently sealed down the centre to prevent rolling. This tube has the benefits of a double tube with only one valve and chamber to fill.
