Maintenance Tips

Tips to eliminate a service call

If the cover won't operate, check these items first:

  • Maintain proper pool water level.
  • Check main breaker and reset GFI.
  • Check fuses on limit switches (if equipped), located on circuit board.
  • Disconnect main breaker first.
  • Do not overtighten brake adjustments.

Maintenance tips that enhance cover life

  • When shocking or super-chlorinating pool, if possible, leave pool uncovered with filtration operating until the chlorine reading has reached a swim-safe level. THE POOL SHOULD NOT BE LEFT UNSUPERVISED WHEN THE COVER IS OFF POOL.
  • Always remove standing water from top of cover and patch holes as soon as possible.
  • Check the drain in the recessed mechanism box, keeping it free of debris.
  • Lubricate bearings and grease fittings at the beginning of each pool season.

Information on all these conditions are in the Cover-Pools Owner's Manuals.
