SAFETY COVER

Installation & Maintenance Manual

BEFORE YOU START:

Thank you for your purchase of a WaterWarden Pool Safety

Cover. Please read these instructions in their entirety prior

to installation to ensure a smooth and proper installation.

Retain manual for future reference.

POOL SITE:

1. Examine the deck area immediately around the pool.

There must be a minimum of 3’ (feet) of deck space around

the pool on all sides for proper installation. (The cover itself

will overlap the pool from water’s edge approximately 9”-

18” onto the deck surface. The springs and straps will

extend an additional 17” from cover’s edge.)

2. Examine the deck surface. Ensure that there are no

impediments or obstacles on the deck surface which would

prevent the cover from lying flat. Identify any rough

coping, ladder sockets, waterspouts, or other items that are

not flush with the deck. These surfaces should be padded

with carpet, foam or vinyl to help protect the cover from

chafing and excessive wear and tear.

TOOLS:

The following tools are necessary to complete the

installation:

Rotary hammer drill

3/4” concrete drill bit w/long shaft (diamond tip)

Lubricant (silicone spray)

Hammer

Tape measure

Chalk and chalk line

INCLUDED HARDWARE:

Ensure that the following hardware has been included with

your safety cover. If you determine that you are missing

any of these components, please call WaterWarden Pool

Safety Products toll free 877-402-7233 for immediate

resolution.

Brass anchors

Stainless steel springs

Steel installation rod

Allen wrench

Spring covers

Tamping tool

INSTALLING YOUR SAFETY COVER:

1. Prior to beginning, leave the water level in the pool at

normal height. This will allow cover to float during the

installation and make the installation easier. Remove the

safety cover from the box and carefully unfold it. Ensure

that the cover is right-side-up and that protective strips are

on bottom (pool side). Drape the cover over the pool and

stretch cover evenly over the pool as tightly as possible.

Adjust the cover so that overlap is equal on all sides. Use

water bags or 5-gallon buckets placed on the straps to

secure the cover in place. Thread the straps through the D-

ring springs, leaving about 6”-7” of strap between the

cover’s edge and the spring. This is to allow for adjustment.

2. Find the center strap along the length of each side of

the cover. Use a piece of chalk to mark a point 3” beyond

the uncompressed spring (or about 18” from the cover’s

edge). These will be the spots for your initial anchor holes.

Repeat for the center strap along the width of the cover.

Use the marked spot as a guide on each side, and snap a

chalk line along the entire length of the pool. This will

ensure that the anchors will be installed parallel to the pool.

CARE & MAINTENANCE The cover must always stretch tightly across the pool. After the initial installation, some stretching may occur. This is normal. Each spring should be compressed 50%. Adjust the straps if necessary. 3. Now you will install the first four anchors – the center anchor on each of the 4 sides of the pool. Use the hammer drill and a 3/4” drill bit and be sure to keep the drill perpendicular to the deck surface. Drill down 17/8” into deck at the center mark on one side of the pool.
