Product Information
Full details
This Intex rectangular pool cover is designed for owners of 390 x 180 cm pools who want to maintain water clarity and reduce cleaning time. Its primary benefit is protecting the pool from debris like leaves and insects, significantly cutting down on maintenance. A potential caveat is that it is a cover and not a safety enclosure, so it should not be relied upon for preventing unauthorized access to the water. Key features include durable polyethylene construction, a secure rope tie system, and drain holes to prevent water pooling.

FAQs
What size pool does this cover fit?
This Intex pool cover is designed to fit rectangular pools with dimensions of 390 cm x 180 cm.
Is this a safety cover?
No, this is a debris cover and is not designed to prevent access to the pool. It should not be used as a safety enclosure.
How does the cover prevent water buildup?
The cover features small drain holes that allow rainwater to pass through, preventing accumulation on the surface.
What is the cover made of?
The cover is made of 100% high-quality polyethylene, which is tear-resistant and water-repellent.
How is the cover secured to the pool?
The cover is secured using included rope ties that attach around the pool's perimeter.
Can this cover be used in strong winds?
The rope ties help secure the cover, but in very strong winds, it is advisable to remove the cover to prevent damage to the cover or pool.
Does the cover block UV rays?
While the material is UV resistant for durability, it does not block all UV rays from reaching the water, which may still contribute to algae growth.
Troubleshooting
Cover does not fit securely
Ensure the rope ties are tightened evenly around the pool perimeter. Check that the pool dimensions match the cover's specifications (390 x 180 cm).
Water pooling on the cover surface
Check that the drain holes are clear and not blocked by leaves or debris. Gently push down on the pooled water to encourage it to drain.
Cover seems weak or damaged
Inspect the cover for tears or punctures. If significant damage is found, the cover may need to be replaced.
Rope ties are difficult to secure
Ensure the rope ties are not tangled. If they show signs of wear, consider replacing them with standard rope.
