Installation Notes
Complete pool closing steps first (lower water level as needed, remove accessories, and winterize plumbing).
Center the cover so overlap is even around the pool.
Thread the cable through the grommets and tighten evenly so the cover sits snug against the pool wall.
In windy areas, use above-ground cover clips (optional) for added security.
If water accumulates on top, use a winter cover pump to reduce standing water weight.
Care & Storage
Remove heavy leaf piles and debris periodically to reduce stress on the cover and grommets.
Avoid sharp objects and keep pool chemicals away from the cover material.
In spring, rinse the cover, let it dry completely, then fold and store in a cool, dry place.

Maintenance Tips
Check cable tension after big temperature changes and wind storms; re-tighten if needed.
Remove standing water and heavy debris to prevent stretching and grommet stress.
If rubbing occurs at the top rail, add protective padding to reduce abrasion.
Replace the cover if you notice widespread thinning, seam separation, or grommet tearing.
