Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this cover keep the pool completely clean?

It significantly reduces debris like leaves and dirt, but it is not a replacement for regular filtration and chemical maintenance.

Should the bubble side face up or down?

The bubble side should always face down, in direct contact with the water, to maximize heat transfer and insulation.

Can I use this cover on a saltwater pool?

Yes, the polyethylene material is compatible with standard saltwater pool environments.

Is this a safety cover?

No, this is a thermal solar cover and should not be used as a safety device to prevent children or pets from falling into the pool.

Can I trim this cover to fit my pool?

Yes, the material can be easily cut with scissors to match the specific shape and size of your swimming pool.

How do I clean the cover?

Simply rinse the cover with a garden hose and a soft brush if necessary. Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Cover does not lie flat on the water surface.

Ensure that there are no air pockets caught beneath the cover. Adjust the placement by pulling the edges toward the sides of the pool.

The cover is accumulating too much debris.

Use a pool skimmer or net to remove debris before attempting to remove the cover, which helps prevent dirt from falling into the water.

Air bubbles are popping or flattening.

This is a sign of material aging; ensure the cover is not exposed to excessive pool chemicals, as high chlorine levels can degrade the plastic prematurely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces pool water evaporation
  • Provides passive solar heating performance
  • Prevents leaves and debris from entering the pool
  • Constructed from durable polyethylene material
  • Helps lower overall pool maintenance costs

Cons

  • Requires manual effort to cover and uncover the pool
  • Does not replace a physical safety cover
  • Requires proper storage space when not in use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the cover, spread it out flat across the surface of the pool with the bubble side facing down against the water. If your pool is smaller than the provided dimensions, you can trim the polyethylene material with heavy-duty scissors for a perfect fit. For care, rinse the cover occasionally with fresh water to remove any chemical buildup or accumulated dirt. When removing the cover, it is recommended to gently fold or roll it to prevent damage to the air chambers. During off-season months, clean the cover thoroughly, allow it to dry completely, and store it in a cool, dry, and shaded area away from direct sun exposure to prolong its lifespan.
