FAQ
Cover Questions
Cover-Pools pool covers are independently certified to exceed the requirements of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM F1346-91), which sets the standards for safety pool covers.
Slack is added to the cover to protect it from the following:
Rain and Snow Loads: The pool cover needs extra slack to handle rain and snow loads. Without it, the pool cover and the pool could sustain substantial damage from excessive weight.
Fabric Shrinks: The pool cover fabric will shrink between one to two percent. While this may seem negligible, this percentage can equal three to four inches on a 20-foot wide pool cover. Indoor pools may shrink more because they are often heated year-round.
- Always ask for Cover-Pools products.
- Carefully check your contract to see that it clearly specifies Cover-Pools automatic cover or Step-Saver pool cover. Examine your pool cover when it is installed.
- The leading edge and the motor will have labels verifying the product name.
Troubleshoot and Maintenance
Patch even the smallest holes as soon as they occur with the vinyl patch kit. If water penetrates the vinyl and comes in contact with the scrim (the thread reinforcing), the thread will soak up water and carry chemicals and contaminates to the inside of the material. This may lead to stiffening and or delamination of the vinyl. Patching should be done on both sides of the hole in the cover if possible.
Pin Holes: Apply a dab of vinyl glue directly in the hole.
Large Cuts or Tears:
- Cut out a piece of patch material at least 1″ larger than the hole. Make all of the edges of the patch round. Tip: You can use the excess fabric on the roller tube for patch material.
- Apply vinyl glue to the rough side of the patch and to the cover around the hole. The smooth side of the vinyl should face out.
- Allow the glue to set slightly until it becomes tacky.
- Apply the patch in the same pattern as the vinyl on the cover.
Stains: For stains, use a soft bristle brush and scrub the cover with fresh, clean water.
Oils and Stubborn Stains: For oils, such as suntan lotion, or stubborn stains that cannot be removed by scrubbing, use a small amount of non-detergent cleanser.
Never use detergents on the vinyl. One of the most available non-detergent cleaners is Ivory® bar soap (not dish-washing liquid). Use the bar soap on a wet cloth and scrub the soiled area. Rinse well with fresh water.
Algae: For algae stains, especially black algae, use a mixture of water and Clorox® bleach. Use one (1) part Clorox to nine (9) parts water. Make sure you use Clorox, not the pool’s chlorine. You can apply this solution directly on the algae. Some algicides contain detergent and may damage the cover.

Manually Uncover the Pool: This requires two people. Remove the recessed lid. Remove the bolt from the coupler. Slide the cover through the track toward the roller for a few feet on both sides. Then roll it up by turning the roller by hand. Repeat this procedure until the cover is totally retracted keeping the roll as compact as possible. To reduce any possible drag, loosen both brakes completely. On the opposite end of the mechanism is a square hole washer; the washer is sized to accept a standard ½” drive ratchet socket wrench. Follow the procedure above to remove coupler or clutch bolt and loosen the brakes. Insert the wrench into the washer and use the wrench to reverse the main tube. This will uncover the pool.
WARNING! It is physically easier to remove the cover using the ratchet wrench than it will be to close the cover. Closing the cover manually requires two strong people. If you are using your cover as a safety barrier, make sure you will be able to close the cover if needed, before you open the cover.
