I just got mine and put it in. On my 18' pool this thing is HUGE and overlaps up and over the edge of the pool is this normal?

Yes this is normal. I believe they do this to compensate for any irregularities in the pool and also it is easier to trim a bit off than to not have enough. Hope this answers your ?

Some pools say they are 18ft in diameter but it is the bottom, not the top. Our Pool is 18ft at the top and we had to cut about 6 inches off 1/2 to fit.

I assume it is supposed to be larger. I cover the pool and then have it come up the sides all the way around so it has a good seal. I do not hang it over the edge.

Yes my husband put on the pool an than trimmed it to fit just be careful not to cut the sides of the pool LOL

I will tell you that I have an older pool and it worked. From what my pool guy said they for overlap as well. my pool is a beaded system. Sorry since I am not a pool expert look to see if your pool is beaded or not that that might help.

Hi I'm not sure what's the problem but do you have enough hose to it? I have Diver Dan an he works fantanstic. Are you using this in an above ground pool or in ground? I have a 24x 52 above ground? Have you checked to see if it has any sticks or leaves inside of the whale? Let me know also if you have your hoses wound in circles might be the problem they are suppose to be memory hoses an not to be wound up? Hope this helps.

Hi Joy, Well without knowing your exact setup I can only assume you have sand in the inside pipe and latterals (those are the white spoke looking things). I have read about this problem on another site and that's what the other person had going on. So how does that happen, well either the center tube got cracked during shipping or during the sand fill process, it is easy to do as the plastic tube is very fragile. I actually broke mine before I had the filter installed and had to order a new one fron Intex. It was about $7 and lol $8 for shipping. The other reason could be too much sand in the filter itself so the sand floats and then get sucked into the backwash process and sinks and then when you go to the filter process it get sucked up and out into the pool until its all gone. Finally, be sure you have the correct sand. My experience is you can only get it at pool supply stores. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions, I'll be happy to help. Jonathan

Mine also is desintegrating. I find pieces of the fringe all over my pool.Unfortunately I don't know either about the warranty.I've had mine about 2 months....

Seems like a filter issue. Needless to say you've checked that water is flowing and that the filter is sitting correctly all the way in the base in the pool of water, right? Many after market filters don't fit well and you really have to stretch and really push them into the base.

I've been really happy with mine. It goes right up the walls of the pool and back. Pool has never looked better.

You should try to have it as level as humanly possible! If it isn't the pool will not fill correctly, the top ring will not set right and it tends to get mildew buildup where it is uneven.

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

I have a 27 foot round pool. I always have my filter running when I use the Rover, and have never saw it get moved around. It is extremely heavy once it fills up with water, which is what makes it sink to the bottom of the pool and not float back up. I have a pretty hard time getting it pulled back up and over the side of the pool when it's finished, especially if it's full of leaves too.

The steps will not touch the side. We laid down a vinyl pad(advertised with the steps) for the steps to set on and it seems to be working great. I do not think that they will have any adverse effect on our liner. once installed, they do not move. Our pool is 36 x 18

Morning Debbie,,,,, Will Post a pic today, The Liner is absolutely Beautiful.. But I must say only about 4 inches overlap. Stretches nicely though and we have a nice cove in the bottom of our pool..... Very well worth it to buy. :-) Have a great summer we are certainly looking forward to it.

The corner connectors will not snap in, they are design to be flexible, this is normal, I was worried about that but after the pool filled up and they held together, I as excited. also the side walls bend in a lot until the pool is completely filled up then the sides will straighten out. it's a great pool you won't be disappointed

Good question, as I had the same concern (most seemed to be for in ground pools). I have an above-ground pool and this works great in it.

I actually have 18x48 intex pool and it works for me. It has 50' clearance from the ground. I use the ladder that comes with the pool on the other side in the water. So this ladder's top step sits on top of the support pieces of the intex ladder. This way 2' gap is closed and they both sit on the pool wall. I also bought the widest plastic zip ties from Home Depot and secured both ladders to each other and to the pool wall. I have been using it for two pool seasons and so far so good. Also, the lock that comes with the enclosure is crap and it rusts after a few weeks. I would recommend buying a stainless steel one from hardware store.

Yes this is normal. There should have been a tag stating this on your rod as well. One of their videos also states that this is normal to the design. It's different from the conventional teavel rods you're used to seeing.

I had the same problem. Make sure to use the string because that is what holds the plastic down. I had to look at the picture a couple of times. The four corners are held down by the string going below the pool itself.
