Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your pool dome.

• Dome does not fit properly:
  • Verify your pool's dimensions against the compatibility requirements listed in the "Setup and Installation" section. Ensure the top rail and legs meet the specified size and shape.
  • Check that the dome frame is assembled correctly and all components are securely fastened.
• Difficulty opening or closing the dome:
  • Ensure all straps and latches are fully released before attempting to open.
  • Inspect the hinge mechanism for any obstructions or damage. Clean any debris that may be hindering movement.
  • Lubricate moving parts of the hinge mechanism with a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
• Water pooling on top of the dome:
  • This can occur during heavy rain. Ensure the dome is properly tensioned and secured to maintain its curved shape, allowing water to run off.
  • Periodically clear any accumulated water to prevent excessive weight on the structure.
• Dome appears unstable in wind:
  • Confirm all attachment straps are tightly secured to the pool frame.
