What is a good way to tuck the cords away so that they are more flat against the pool? Mine seem to be sort of in the way.

On my above-the-ground pool, there are caps where the pieces of fiberglass come together and we tuck the cords under those caps so they lie flat. I hope that helps.

Use a extension cord hun , that should work that's what I used whenever I had that pool , but i wanted to warn you make sure to cut it off whenever you are done using the pool because the flitter will die >_< and i don't know if you can find a replacement one or not , but the fkiters don't last long

Make sure there are no kinks in the hose. Try moving the cuda to the end of the pool so the hose is straight. Also , it does get stuck in corners you'll just have to move it away. Even the expensive ones get stuck. Hope this helps! :-)

Our cover is on a reel at the deep end of our pool so as we roll it up we can pick any leaves or sticks off. What little that does get in the pool we just skim off. Plus we really don't get very much in the pool area...lucky us!

If you are just trying to get your cords out the back, it might be better to leave the back piece on and drill a two inch hole to pass your cords thru. This would allow for more or less complete structural integrity.

It depends where you're going to anchor your cord. Folded in half its about 6 feet long, and stretches up to another foot or two depending on how hard you swim. I'd say you'd be okay if you can tie onto a ladder, or something a foot or two back from the side of the pool.

Nice, I did the same with my smaller pool. I have mine lined up and suspended in the water with plastic screen weighted down with bricks on the pool deck. They will sink to the bottom if you don't secure them somehow. Anyway, if you have enough circulation they work for me lined up. Hope this helps and welcome to the converted pool community!

I use pool socks and they are very stretchy and fit completely over the top edge of the basket. If you have a fold-down handle, fold it down first. It your have a pin handle, just tuck the sock all down one side over the handle. No problem with this. Then weekly, pull the basket up and take it to a yard hose and wash everything off of it. Your pool filter will not require cleaning as often. DWS Sarasota

I used a bungee cord (rubber) on each side to stabilize the ladder. The ladder was basically placed in between two vertical pool posts. I wrapped the bungee cord around the vertical pool frame post (top) and then hooked the two ends of the bungee cord to the stabilizer bar. Did the same thing on the other side so they sort of end up pulling against each other and stabilized the ladder. Worked really well. Hope this helps!

Could be your outlet flow...pushing it to one side..could be that the hose is very brittle and does not expand nor maneuver around the pool very well...might need more hose...I add and take out hose, bi weekly it makes the vacuum clean in different patterns....

Hi, How we drained ours is there is a plug like thing on the bottom of the pool on the outside by your pump, we unscrewed it a little at a time to prevent the yard from flooding... Hope that helps, btw do not leave pool empty without taking it apart we made that mistake and the wind picked it up off the ground

Yes, there is a little wider spot in the rope that holds them in place, but they can be moved off the spot. (I know this because a little boy did it in my pool last week).

I don't really think it matters that much. I haven't tucked mine under anything, and the worst thing that will happen with it not being a tight fit, is that some debris could get into your pool.

I bought this last year and used it all summer and never had any problems. The weight of the water in the pool keeps the sides from buckling. Once you have these installed, I think you will be very happy. No more laying the cover on the ground and it getting dirty. It is also much easier to take it off and get it back on. The one thing to be aware of, because it is a "no turning back" moment, is when you install these you will be drilling holes into the rim of the pool. I also have a 24' pool. I almost did not install these but then I just went for it...and I'm glad I did. Good luck. I bought this last year and used it all summer and never had any problems.

There is a drain plug at the bottom of the pool side. It plugs from inside, but if you have the tool it inserts on outside. This way you can drain it.

It's not easy to get it, is it? Without instructions what we did was put the cover on top (after threading the string through the holes) and then tied the string tight so it stayed. I was not happy with the cover and have since tossed it...it sagged in the middle and trapped rainwater that would turn muddy and it was impossible to remove the cover without getting muddy water in the pool. The cover design needs improvement. Good luck.

You can buy a four ft extent ion at your pool store. That solved the problem for me.
