Installation Notes
- After closing and lowering water to your winterizing level, center the cover so overlap is even on all sides.
- Thread the cable through the grommets and tighten evenly so the cover sits snug around the pool perimeter.
- Use cover clips or additional tie-downs (optional) in high-wind areas.
- Remove sharp items from the deck and keep the cover away from rough edges that can cause 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 help reduce excessive standing water weight.
- In spring, rinse the cover clean and allow it to fully dry before folding and storing in a cool, dry place.
