How do I clean the pool film?

Troubleshooting
Pool temperature not increasing noticeably.
Ensure the film is fully covering the water surface and lies flat. Check for sufficient direct sunlight throughout the day. Verify that the film is not being removed too early in the morning or exposed to strong winds.
Film is difficult to handle or unfolds unevenly.
Allow the film to warm up slightly in the sun before attempting to unfold and place it. This will make the PE material more pliable.
Excessive water loss still occurs.
Check if the film is properly sealed around the edges of the pool. Ensure there are no tears or holes in the material. The film's effectiveness is reduced by very strong winds.
Debris collects on the film.
Rinse the film with a garden hose daily or as needed. Consider using a pool cover when the film is not in use to prevent leaves and other debris from accumulating.
