This cover looks as though it does not have to be screwed into the drain opening. Is this true? I am looking for a quick fix for a crumbling cover. Can this cover go over an in-ground cover that lies flush with the pool bottom? My pool drain is not...

You are correct! This comes in three pieces that snap together around the center piece. Simple to put together and pretty simple to install. I threw mine in the pool upside down and then used my dip net to flip it over the old cover. Once you have it centered over the old cover your job is done in about 5 minutes.

Yes I do use a cover it is also a rectangular intex cover that fits snugly down over he sides of the pool. And we just used clear plastic for underneath the pool and spread sand onto the plastic, seemed to work real well for us.

If there were any seams, I cut them off to make the cover fit my kidney shaped pool. I don't see any indication that the cover can easily rip. Except for the problem of delaminating, the cover is durable, helps keep the pool clean, and greatly reduces evaporation.

I would get a whole different cover. We bought ours last year, we have trees above our pool that drop seeds. When the sun hit the pool the cover fell into shreds. It was floating in pieces on our pool? We had to open our pool in March.

No instructions came with my cover. I think it depends on how much water is in the pool as to how snug it fits. The ends flapped a little but if you put the rope under each corner diagonally and straight across the sides it should fit good. Just make sure the rope is tied tight. I have the part that is tied on the long side, don't know if it makes a difference where it is or not.

I went on line and looked under images, I never drilled a hole/pit in the floor, resistance against the bottom of the sink and floor, (pointy end down), seem to keep it in place, I took a level to it, I did a 'trial' fit first thinking I would go back and add the 'beauty' ring/floor cap but haven't , its been three months, and it has worked well, good luck

I have an above ground pool and the bottom middle is not much deeper than the sides, so I do not have that problem. My husband does move it occasionally to help it out.

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 use my leaf cover as a Pool Cover. I had a solid Pool Cover before with Big Problems. Every time it rained water would build up on the cover. The water on top of the cover would push the pool water out. I would have to pump the water off the cover then refill the pool to the proper level.

As far as I could tell the bubble part is on one complete side. and it is flat on the other complete side. I don't notice the seam. with that being said the cover was oversized and I had my pool guy cut it to fit.. I've never had a problem as you describe.

I just went outside and looked at my pool. It still has the cover on it. I dont recommend it. The 16 foot pool might have less poles to anchor the cover to. It's not going to get as tight when you tighten it with the trap

No. This cover just sits on top of the water and doesn't wrap over the side of the pool. It's really just bubble wrap so it would probably freeze to the water and get damaged if you left it out.

It is designed to fit into the drain. Theoretically you could turn it upside down, but really you would want to buy a different drain catcher.

We don't have a regular pool cover, but I don't see why not. You might want to find another place that sells them though just to ask that question. I'd hate for you to buy this on my say so and then find out it didn't work!

To install/fix-in-place, you do need to screw it into the drain openning. To use, pushing it down would open or close.Hope this helps!

To be honest with you I was skeptical about this flimsy looking pool cover ... But as I text this I'm standing in front of our pool after two weeks of off and on rain and snow and this is the best cover ever !!! Lots of water on top of the pool and none of it seeping or leaking through ... Just big puddles on the top - we live in the high desert of CA so this cover has seen a lot of weather changes and has been top notch !!! Hope this helps �

You take out the stopper & lay this over the bath tub drain opening. I have one for all my tubs & they all fit snugly over the drain. There is a model that fits over the stopper. That model has suction cups to secure it. I've purchased that model & prefer this one. It's easy to clean & is rust free.
