Looking after your Winter Debris Pool Cover
1) Always ensure that the winter debris cover does not come into contact with undiluted swimming pool chemicals such as chlorine granules or pH reducers (dry acid) as this can lead to bleaching of, or permanent damage to the pool cover.
2) Do not attempt to walk on the cover whilst in position over the pool. The cover is extremely strong, but it is not intended for use as a safety cover and should not be treated as such.
3) Excessive snow accumulation on the cover is not normally a problem, but it should be removed if possible, as its weight can put unnecessary strain on the anchor points or ground fixings.
4) Experience has shown that the most common form of cover damage is caused by dogs or other animals scratching repeatedly, or sparks from nearby bonfires – take care. Should the cover require repair by the manufacturer, always return it (minus the stainless steel fixings) in the Spring when the cover is removed from the pool. Do not wait until the Autumn.
5) When removing the cover in the Sping:-
a) Carefully remove from the pool, unbuckling stainless steel anchor springs (store seperately)
b) Check for damage – send for repair if necessary
c) Clean and dry the cover
d) Fold the cover and replace in its bag
e) Store away from sunlight in a cool dry place, away from rodents such as rats and mice.
