![]() ![]() Pull a few feet of rope from the rope reels. Remove the bolt from the coupler or the motor side of the slip clutch, whichever you have. Manually Cover the Pool: This requires two people. Some algicides contain detergent and may damage the cover. You can apply this solution directly on the algae. Make sure you use Clorox, not the pool’s chlorine. Use one (1) part Clorox to nine (9) parts water. Rinse well with fresh water.Īlgae: For algae stains, especially black algae, use a mixture of water and Clorox® bleach. Use the bar soap on a wet cloth and scrub the soiled area. One of the most available non-detergent cleaners is Ivory® bar soap (not dish-washing liquid). ![]() Oils and Stubborn Stains: For oils, such as suntan lotion, or stubborn stains that cannot be removed by scrubbing, use a small amount of non-detergent cleanser. Stains: For stains, use a soft bristle brush and scrub the cover with fresh, clean water. Even if the cover does not appear dirty, harmful chemical deposits can accumulate on top of the fabric and can cause premature fabric failure if the fabric is not rinsed regularly. Rinse: Regularly rinse the cover off with a pump in place to remove water and contaminants. Apply the patch in the same pattern as the vinyl on the cover.Allow the glue to set slightly until it becomes tacky.The smooth side of the vinyl should face out. Apply vinyl glue to the rough side of the patch and to the cover around the hole.Tip: You can use the excess fabric on the roller tube for patch material. Make all of the edges of the patch round. Cut out a piece of patch material at least 1″ larger than the hole.Pin Holes: Apply a dab of vinyl glue directly in the hole. Patching should be done on both sides of the hole in the cover if possible. This may lead to stiffening and or delamination of the vinyl. If water penetrates the vinyl and comes in contact with the scrim (the thread reinforcing), the thread will soak up water and carry chemicals and contaminates to the inside of the material. Patch even the smallest holes as soon as they occur with the vinyl patch kit. For many small holes, homeowners may be able to repair the fabric themselves. Over time, your cover may develop holes in the fabric. ![]()
