Safety Information

Please read and understand all safety instructions before using this product.

• Avoid exposure to sharp objects to prevent damage to the cover.
• Avoid prolonged direct sunlight exposure when the cover is not on the pool, as this can degrade the material.

• Pool Cleanliness: Acts as a barrier to keep leaf litter, insects, and other debris out of your pool.
• Durable Material: Made from high-quality international standard LDPE with a 300µm bubble thickness, designed to withstand UV radiation.
• Customizable Fit: Can be easily trimmed to fit unique pool shapes.

Setup

1. Unpacking and Unrolling

Carefully unpack the solar cover from its packaging. Unroll the cover next to your pool. The cover may have creases from packaging; these will typically relax once the cover is on the water and exposed to sunlight.

2. Trimming to Fit (if necessary)

The Towallmark solar cover is designed to be easily trimmed to fit various pool shapes. If your pool is not a standard rectangle, or if you desire a custom fit, follow these steps:

1. Place the solar cover over your pool, ensuring it covers the entire water surface.
2. Using a marker, carefully trace the outline of your pool onto the cover. Allow for a slight overlap if desired, but ensure the cover floats entirely on the water.
3. Remove the cover from the pool and use sharp scissors to cut along the marked lines.

3. Initial Placement

Once trimmed, place the cover back onto the pool surface. Ensure the bubble side faces down into the water. The bubbles are designed to trap solar heat and transfer it to the water, while the smooth side faces up to absorb sunlight.

Operating Instructions

Daily Use

For optimal performance, deploy the solar cover on your pool when it is not in use, especially overnight and during cooler periods. This maximizes heat retention and minimizes evaporation.

• Deploying the Cover: Gently pull the cover across the water surface until it completely covers the pool. If using a solar reel (sold separately), slowly crank the reel to unroll the cover.
• Removing the Cover: When you are ready to use the pool, carefully pull the cover off the water. If using a solar reel, crank the reel to roll up the cover.

Maintenance

Proper care will extend the lifespan of your Towallmark Solar Cover:

• Cleaning: Clean the cover with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material. Rinse thoroughly.
• Drying: Allow the cover to dry completely before folding or storing. This prevents mildew and material degradation.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods (e.g., during winter), store the cover in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sharp objects. Rolling it onto a solar reel or folding it neatly can help prevent creases and damage.
• Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the cover away from sharp edges or objects that could puncture or tear the material.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Issue: Pool water is not heating sufficiently.
  Solution: Ensure the bubble side of the cover is facing down into the water. Verify that the cover is fully extended over the pool surface during sunny hours. Check for any gaps or areas where the cover is not making full contact with the water.
• Issue: Debris is still entering the pool.
  Solution: Confirm the cover is fully extended and covers the entire pool surface, leaving no significant gaps around the edges. Ensure the cover is not damaged, allowing debris to fall through.
• Issue: Cover is tearing or degrading prematurely.
  Solution: Inspect for contact with sharp objects or rough pool edges. Ensure the cover is not left exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods when rolled up or stored, as UV exposure can accelerate degradation. Proper storage in a cool, dry, shaded area is crucial.
• Issue: Cover is difficult to deploy or remove.
  Solution: Consider investing in a solar reel system (sold separately) to simplify the process of covering and uncovering your pool.
