I have an automatic pool cover. Designed for the cover to rest on top of the water. I can only get to the top side without taking the entire cover off and out of the tracks. Will this stuff work by fixing to only top side?

Well it sticks really well, still working in my pool and it's been over a year. I think that it should work for that too, but would not be able to definitely say for how long!

You lay it on top of the water and it just floats covering your pool. I like that it keeps dirt and leaves out too. Ours has gotten water on top several times, but it doesn't sink. Think of the bubble wrap sheets, but heavier duty. It works great for our round, above-ground pool. Hope this helps.

Hello, Yes it will run with your cover on provided that your suction line does not directly interfere with your cover. Many pools have a designated suction line for their pool sweep but some pools use a suction divertor that is connected directly to their skimmer suction. Either option should work but if your sweep connects to your skimmer, you may have an issue with your cover, depending on your cover.

Thank you! My pool cover rests on top of the water, so I'm not sure if the dispenser will still move. I keep the cover on except when using the pool. Perhaps it's okay to have it stationary for awhile. Thanks for taking your time to answer.

Sounds like the cover will work on your pool. I got rid of the hold down water balloons because they spring leaks too easily. Instead I ordered through Amazon black snap top plastic boxes that simply fill up with water and hold down the cover a lot better. You can place the boxes on top of the excess portions of the cover that you fold up.They're a bit pricey but worth it.

Good Afternoon Mr. FisherThank you for your interest in our product. The item that you are inquiring about is designed to accomplish three things. The first is to retain the heat, secondly, increase the water temperature, and lastly to prevent water evaporation. It is recommended that the cover remains on the pool any time that it is not in use. The instance in which the cover should not remain on the pool is when chemicals have been added to prevent deterioration of the items integrity.

I had the same problem with the Kreepy. It will happen with this model too as they are virtually identical in function. In my case I solved the problem by filling a bucket with water (for ballast) and setting it near the edge on the top step to keep the floating hose away. When the pool is used or company is over I take the bucket out. This cleaner does a great job at a third of the cost.

the bubbles go up. the only problem I had was when you run the pump (I have a round pool) the top moves also, we had to remove the ladder to use this cover.

This cover just sits on top of the water. You need to get one the same size diameter or smaller than your pool. Laying flat like it does, the wind never seems to be able to get underneath it. Just vision, Blue Industrial Strength Bubble Wrap. Heats the pool up nice, helps keep the warmth in at night. Even helps with chlorine retention.

I'm sure you could fasten something to the edges of the pool and the cover (similar to how the cover would attach to the cover reel). I don't think there is much of a need for that however. A little bit of water always seems to come on top of the cover to weigh it down on top of the "suction" the cover and water create together. It's a great cover for the price, even compared to more expensive covers. Good luck

It is tricky and I may not be the best to answer but I had the same problem at first. Every time you twist each hose section you will change the direction in which it will ultimately go so you have to play with it. Not every time, but in a 5 hour cycle times 5 days it should cover most of the pool. You and I are ultimately stuck with having to finish the job any ways once a week.

No, but the cover does have a ring around the top that has a draw string to tighten cover around the top of the pool. I have and use this cover and it works great

As long as you can get it flat against the cover and in the middle it will get 99% of the water. Mine works real well. I will tell you that the plastic elbow broke the first time I tried to use it so be very gentle. It can be a bit tricky trying to push it out to the middle of the pool with the hose and power cord attached. There is a list of replacement parts with the paperwork and they sent me one right away. Works great for the price.

no it does not shut off automatically and has to be placed on top of the pool cover

I bought this last year and used it all summer and never had any problems. The weight of the water in the pool keeps the sides from buckling. Once you have these installed, I think you will be very happy. No more laying the cover on the ground and it getting dirty. It is also much easier to take it off and get it back on. The one thing to be aware of, because it is a "no turning back" moment, is when you install these you will be drilling holes into the rim of the pool. I also have a 24' pool. I almost did not install these but then I just went for it...and I'm glad I did. Good luck. I bought this last year and used it all summer and never had any problems.

I have an above grond 12x18x4 saltwater oval under 3 large mature pecan trees. We have experienced similar problem at first. Then realized that the Leader hose was getting forced to one side from both, the side mount drain adapter and the outlet flow of the pump. I had to omit the side drain and connect direct to the pump. It really does get about 85-90% of the pool clean. The rest we clean by controlling it manually. Yes we have to stand there for a short period of time and simply twist a hose segment while holding the adjacent segment. It is a great deal better than cleaning the entire pool.

I have a fiberglass pool with concrete coping. The front roller will come to the coping and levitate there for a few seconds. It will then quit propelling and settle to the bottom. I also have a safety ledge half way in deep end, and has no problem. Excellent product.
