What is the central tensioning system?
Katchakid first pioneered and patented the initial Central Tensioning System (CTS) in 1988. The CTS today 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 with a necessary amount of pulleys determine a pool nets efficiency. The Katchakid uses an average of 12 to 16 pulleys per net. Larger pools, those over 40ft., usually require 2 CTS systems allowing the Katchakid to be removed, replaced and tightened with relative ease.
