Pool Covers and Rollers

The next step is to measure the pool. Do not be concerned if your pool is an unusual shape, just keep in mind all covers need to be made as a rectangle to start and then you trim them to shape. Daisy provides additional information on their video.

1. Measuring your pool is simply a matter of measuring the maximum water level width (W) and length (L) of the main body of water. See illustrations below
2. Using a tape measure, measure the length (L) and width (W) of your pool
3. Multiply the L x W to give the square metre figure which you’ll need to calculate the costs of your Daisy pool cover
4. Daisy will include extra material to allow for upturn and shrinkage, so the exact water level measurements are all that are required
5. If your pool has steps, measure the step area separately (see below)
6. If you have a uniquely shaped pool, treat it as rectangular (see below).

 


STEPS


If you have a step at the end, Daisy want to know if you are standing at the shallow end of the pool, looking at the pool, is the step on the LHS or RHS? If you have a middle step, you can order online, you just need to order the right amount of metres and then note on your order that you have a middle step and send us a diagram in a separate email so we can send to Daisy showing them where that step is located (how many metres in from each end).

To install your solar pool cover:

1. Lay the pool cover, bubble side to the water
2. Flatten out all air bubbles so that the cover sits flat on the water
3. Using your pool as a template, take a pair of ordinary household scissors (the sharper the better) and with someone holding pool cover in position, cut the edge of the cover so that it sits flat on the water with about 50 – 75mm rising up the side of the pool (but not necessarily to the top edge of the pool).

If required, you can:
A) Cut the pool cover back to waterline, however, wait 2-3 weeks after initial cut for it to settle down.
The pool cover can shrink in the length in the first couple of weeks, so don’t make the initial cut too short.
B) Cut two vertical slits in the cover upturn, either side of your skimmer box, fold the flap you have created into the skimmer box, therefore allowing you to hose debris off the top of the cover into the skimmer box.

Manually handling a pool cover will subject it to knocks and scrapes that would not occur if it is properly rolled up onto a roller. Most people who have tried to use a cover without a roller very quickly realise the advantages it offers.

The Daisy range of pool rollers is one of the largest in Australia. From the more cost-effective to the chic powered roller systems, they have the right roller to suit your swimming pool’s needs.

When purchasing a pool blanket please keep in mind no suppliers provide replacement warranties on them, all warranties are pro-rata. Pro-rata means that they provide you with assistance on the replacement cost if your blanket fails earlier than the estimated possible life given if the blanket is looked after as well as it can be. For example if you buy a blanket with an 8 year pro-rata warranty and it lasts you 5 years, Daisy calculate the list price (rrp) and then provide 3/8 discount off that full rrp price for you if you want to replace the blanket with a Daisy blanket.

Factors that will mean you will replace your blanket earlier than others include, how thick is the blanket you choose (thicker the longer it lasts), keeping your chlorine levels always in range (high chlorine levels will damage the bubbles),  and always using your over cover when the blanket is rolled up. As these factors are out of the control of the suppliers, they cannot offer replacement warranties, but what they do offer is assistance to customers whose blankets last less than the maximum life expectancy by providing a discount on a new blanket that becomes progressively less until the end of the maximum life expectancy period. Daisy outlines their warranty information on their website and feel most welcome to call them directly on 1300 551 811 if you have any questions about their warranty.
