- For solid winter covers, fan-fold the cover into 3-to-5-foot folds.
- For mesh covers, remove springs or fasteners from anchors with a removal tool or Allen wrench. Loosely fan-fold the cover accordion style.
Cleaning and Storage
After removing the cover, take it to a driveway or other hardscape place on a slant or slope for easier drainage. Thoroughly sweep and hose off the cover, and use cleaner or treatment if it’s recommended by the manufacturer of the cover. Allow to dry completely before storing. Tightly roll or fan-fold the cover and wrap with rope or use strapping to keep it tight. Store the pool cover indoors or in a garage -- away from insects, rodents and moisture.
