Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Pool Area: Ensure the pool deck is clean and free of debris.
- Position the Cover: Carefully unroll the cover over the pool, ensuring the right step section aligns correctly with your pool's step area. The cover should have a 1-foot overlap on all sides of the pool.
- Mark Anchor Points: With the cover properly positioned, identify the locations on the deck where the springs and straps will connect. Mark these points accurately.
- Install Brass Anchors: Drill holes at the marked points according to the manufacturer's instructions for your specific deck material. Insert the solid brass anchors into these holes. Use the tamping tool to ensure they are flush with the deck surface when not in use, preventing tripping hazards.
- Attach Springs and Straps: Connect the springs to the cover's straps. Use the installation rod to hook the springs onto the brass anchors. Work systematically around the pool, ensuring even tension.
- Adjust Tension: Use the hex key to adjust the tension of the straps as needed, ensuring the cover is taut across the pool surface.

Operating Instructions
The WaterWarden mesh safety cover is designed for ease of use during deployment and removal.
Deploying the Cover:
To deploy the cover, carefully unroll it over the pool, aligning the step section. Attach the springs to the brass anchors using the installation rod, ensuring all straps are securely fastened and the cover is taut. The mesh material allows rain to pass through into the pool while screening out leaves, twigs, and other debris.
Removing the Cover:
To remove the cover, use the installation rod to unhook the springs from the brass anchors. Carefully fold or roll the cover, starting from one end, to prevent damage and facilitate storage. Ensure the cover is clean and dry before storing.
