Roller is blowing into the pool
The roller itself can’t normally be blown by the wind, but there can be reasons why it is being moved in windy conditions.
The ropes have been installed too short. This is raising the end of the cover off the pool surface, enabling the wind to get under the pool cover, move it, and pull the roller (by the cords) into the pool. Install the correct length ropes (2 meters as supplied) and leave them that long so there is plenty of rope between roller and the cover lying flat on the pool. Any excess can be wound around the roller tube.
The roller’s over-cover is being stored on the roller while the pool cover is on the pool. The wind can get under the over-cover (like a sail on a yacht) and propel the roller into the pool. Remove the over-cover and store it elsewhere. This won’t happen with the pool cover stored on the roller and the over-cover installed because of the combined weight of the cover and roller.
The cover is too large and protruding above the side of the pool. The cover is then lifted by the wind, still connected to the roller by the cords, and pulls the roller. See Technical Question: Cover Blowing Off The Pool.
An awesome quality cover
Hi, I thought you might like some feedback on your pool covers! Our 400 micron Daisy is 7 years old and was going pretty strong – I honestly think it had one or maybe 2 years still left in it – that was until is was shredded in a very bad hail storm recently. The hail was larger than golf ball size and many rooves in our area were smashed so we are not surprised it was damaged. It was always kept on the pool unless we were swimming and it’s on a roller that is covered from the sun. Yes it was getting a bit brittle but in general for 7 years we have to say it was an awesome quality cover. Thanks Daisy! Let’s hope the new generation of pool covers are even better. Cheers
Michelle
