Automatic Pool Cover | Owner’s Manual
WARNING
Thank you for your purchase of a Cover-Pools cover. Cover-Pools make every effort to provide you with the safest product available and want to stress
the following safety precautions.
Cover-Pools recommends “layers” of protection. Your cover is a reliable layer; however, you should not rely on any one layer to be fail proof.
A swimming pool can provide your family with hours of entertainment and the opportunity for healthy recreation. As a pool owner, be aware that you
must ensure your child’s safety. There is a risk of a child drowning when around any body of water. There is no substitute for constant adult supervision.
Most drowning occurs during a five-minute-or-less lapse in supervision. By providing barriers between your child and the pool, you can avoid a tragic
accident should your child momentarily slip out of sight.
• Don’t rely on one system—layering (pool cover, fence, alarm...) safety precautions provides the strongest safeguard.
• Never leave a child alone—even for a second.
• Maintain constant eye contact with your children when they are around the pool.
• Do not consider young children water-safe because they have had swimming lessons. Swimming instructions for children under three years of age
are not recommended.
• Instruct all care-takers about potential hazards to young children in and around swimming pools and the need for constant supervision.
• Train all caretakers in life-saving, cardiopulmonary resuscitation and first aid. No exceptions.
• Add emergency phone numbers to cell phone for quick reference.
• Keep toys away from the pool when the pool is not in use. They can lure a child into the pool.
• Use inflatable toys only under adult supervision. They may deflate or your child may slip off.
• Post and enforce rules such as No Running, NoPushing, No Dunking, and Never Swim Alone.
• Make sure you have rescue devices accessible near the pool.
• Keep all doors and windows leading from the house to the pool area secure. Install self-closing mechanisms on doors.
• Enclose the pool with a barrier. In fact, fencing may be required in certain area. Check your local city or county building code for more information.
• Install only child-proof, self-closing, self-latching gates around the pool.
• Vertical bars on a pool fence should be no more than 3-3/4 inches apart. Avoid fences such as chain link that provide climbing footholds.
• Place table and chairs well away from the pool fence to prevent children from climbing into the pool area.
• Alert your pool maintenance people, utility personnel, and neighbors to keep covers, gates, and doors to pool closed and locked at all times.
• Check to ensure that spa and pool covers pass minimum safety requirements set by the American Society of Testing Materials.
• Never use a pool with its cover partially in place since children may become trapped under it.
• Beware of a free-floating pool cover. A child can slip beneath one unnoticed.
• Realize that a child can drown in as little as two inches of water. Drain standing water off of your spa or pool cover.
• Investigate using a pool alarm and/or a monitoring system that can be worn by a child.
• Remove ladders and steps from above ground pools. No objects should be in the pool area for a child to climb on and into the water.
• Inspect safety and pool equipment regularly. Preventative devices are only effective if they are in working order.
