Common cover problems

My cover will not move: Possible causes: disconnected power source — check the breaker.
I can hear the motor on but nothing is happening: The issue is mechanical — call for service.
My cover will not open or close completely: Possible causes: blocked tracks (use a hose to clean the tracks); rope may be fraying — stop operating and call for service.
My cover is stuck open: The cover may be off the track — check the power. If the power is on, it may have come off the track — call for service.
My cover is out of alignment: It is possible the cover is over-stressed due to an abundance of water on the cover. Be sure to use your cover pump when the pool is closed to prevent this from happening. The cover needs to be adjusted — call for service.
There is a hole or a tear in my cover: If there is water on your cover but it has not rained, there may be a hole or a tear in the cover. Most small holes or tears can be repaired with a patch.

Maintenance

Tips to keep your cover running smoothly

Schedule a routine annual service call with your pool cover company — we recommend this be done within 1 to 2 weeks after the pool is opened
Check GFCI
Keep clean
Keep pit drain clear
Use the cover pump
Do not let animals or children walk or play on the cover
Keep vegetation away from all cover equipment
For indoor pools with no auto-fill, check for pinholes along the edges of the fabric
De-gas at least once every 3 days
For hydraulic covers: change the oil per the manufacturer's recommendations
