CONDUCT A FINAL CHECK
after all springs are installed.
Adjust all springs so that tension is equal on all parts of the cover, making certain
that the cover’s edge lies in a straight line on all sides. All springs should be compressed approximately 50%.
IMPORTANT: TO AVOID INJURY, BRACKETS MUST BE SECURED TO YOUR DECK
APRON BEFORE ATTACHING THE SPRINGS TO THE BRACKETS!

COVER TENSION: Proper cover tension is crucial to maintaining your warranty and the life of your cover. It is not uncommon that after 2 to 3 weeks the cover will
stretch and the straps will need to be retightened to ensure proper tension. If you can remove the springs from the brackets by hand, THE STRAPS ARE TOO
LOOSE... which will void your warranty! The adjustable springs on your cover should be compressed about 50% at all times. Adjust as needed to maintain this
50% compression.
WATER LEVEL: In all areas - particularly snow areas - water level must be maintained high enough to support the cover and prevent excess wear. DO NOT
ALLOW WATER LEVEL TO FALL MORE THAN 14” BELOW THE TOP OF THE POOL THROUGHOUT THE WINTER OR THE WARRANTY WILL BE VOID.
ADDING CHEMICALS: For pool water to remain clear, it must have the proper level of sanitizer and algaecide AT ALL TIMES - regardless of whether the pool is
in use. When closing your pool in the fall, use a winterizing chemical kit. The kit should include winterizing algaecide and floating canister(s) appropriate for the
water capacity of your pool. Tie the canister(s) so it floats near the center of the pool. When winterized properly, spring clean up will be kept to a minimum. One
month before opening your pool, or when temperatures of 60° or higher remain constant, additional algaecide should be added to the pool. Periodic additions
of sanitizer may be needed to maintain proper water chemistry and reduce algae growth.
