6A: ROPE REEL (Image Left)
- Container: white background #FFFFFF
- Padding: 40px top, 40px bottom
- Border-top: 1px solid #E5E5E5
- Column layout: 2 columns (4/12 image, 8/12 text), 30px gap
Left column:

- Alt: "Integra rope reel assembly — precision-machined stainless steel component"
- Width: 100%
- Border-radius: 6px
- Animation: fade-in-left, duration 0.5s
Right column:
1. Heading: <h3>Rope Reel Assembly</h3> — Montserrat, 22px, weight 600, color #003366
2. Body: The rope reel is the heart of the cover's travel system. Precision-machined from stainless steel, it winds and unwinds the pull ropes that move the cover across the pool. The reel maintains consistent tension throughout the full travel distance, preventing slack that could cause misalignment or fabric bunching. Unlike painted or zinc-plated alternatives, the stainless steel construction means the reel won't corrode even in constant exposure to chlorinated water vapor.
- Font: Open Sans, 15px, color #333333, line-height 1.7
6B: TORQUE LIMITER (Image Right)
- Container: background #F5F5F5
- Padding: 40px top, 40px bottom
- Column layout: 2 columns (8/12 text, 4/12 image), 30px gap
Left column:
1. Heading: <h3>Adjustable Torque Limiter</h3> — Montserrat, 22px, weight 600, color #003366
2. Body: The torque limiter is a mechanical safety device that prevents the motor from applying excessive force to the fabric or mechanism. If the cover encounters an obstruction — a piece of debris, ice buildup, or a misaligned track — the torque limiter disengages the motor before damage occurs. It's field-adjustable, meaning the installer can calibrate it to the specific pool's size and cover weight during installation. This single component prevents the most common cause of mechanism failure in competing systems: motor burnout from fighting an obstruction.

- Animation: fade-in-left, duration 0.5s
Right column:
1. Heading: <h3>BISON E2000 Motor</h3> — Montserrat, 22px, weight 600, color #003366
2. Body: The BISON E2000 is the drive unit behind every Standard Mechanism system. It provides reliable, consistent power to cover pools up to 24 x 60 feet. The motor is housed in a stainless steel enclosure that protects against moisture, debris, and chemical exposure. It operates on standard residential electrical circuits and is designed for thousands of open/close cycles over its lifespan.
