Dryco Pool Cover

Drain Kit

Thank you for purchasing the Dryco Drain Kit.

Unlike conventional pool covers, it is very important that you do not lower the water level in  your pool before
installing the Dryco Drain Pool Cover. The water level must be kept higher than the inlet in the side of the pool.

If you are in an area where freezing conditions might occur, you will have to winterize your skimmer basket. There are
many ways to achieve this. You will need to consult your pool store to see which way is best for you. The Dryco Drain
does not protect your skimmer basket from freezing and possibly bursting.

Leaves may fall onto the cover. Normally, since the cover stays dry, the wind will blow the leaves off. If your cover
should collect leaves, you may use your pool brush with an extension pole to remove them.

Warning:

After installing the Dryco Pool Cover Drain in your cover, please follow the
safety guidelines that come with the cover.

If the drain should collect leaves or debris, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
CRAWL ON, LEAN ON OR REACH OUT OVER THE COVER TO
REMOVE IT. Use the pool brush with extension pole to remove them.

The Dryco Pool Cover drain is not intended to be used for any other
application other than installation in a pool cover.

Following these guidelines will ensure that you will enjoy the use of your Dryco Drain for many years to come.
