‼️ If your AUTOMATIC POOL COVER is currently frozen shut and cannot be opened before the incoming snow and ice:
❄️ Urgent Cold Weather Automatic Cover Notice
If your automatic pool cover is currently frozen shut, please DO NOT attempt to force it open — even with snow expected. Operating a frozen cover can cause serious damage to the ropes, tracks, and motor.
If time allows before the storm, you may try to gently thaw only:
• Turn power off to the cover
• Remove loose snow with a soft broom or blower
• Slowly melt ice along the tracks and leading edge using sunlight, dark towels, lukewarm water, or a hair dryer/heat gun on LOW (kept moving and never close)
Before operating the cover, lightly press or lift the leading edge to confirm it moves freely.
Once thawed, open only in short taps while watching both sides.
⚠️ If the cover does not move freely, do not run it. It is safer to leave the cover closed through the storm than to risk major mechanical damage.
If you notice uneven movement, fabric pulling, or the motor running without movement, stop immediately
