Installation Notes
- Complete winterizing steps first (lower water level as appropriate, remove accessories, and blow out/plug lines).
- Center the cover so the overlap is even on all sides.
- Thread the cable through the grommets and tighten evenly so the cover sits snug against the pool wall.
- In windy areas, consider adding cover clips for extra security.
- Remove sharp items near the top rail and add padding anywhere the cover may rub to reduce abrasion.
Care & Storage
- Remove heavy leaf piles periodically to reduce stress on the fabric and grommets.
- If water accumulates on top, use a winter cover pump to reduce standing-water weight.
- In spring, rinse the cover clean, allow it to fully dry, then fold and store in a cool, dry place.
