when we emptied out pool the dead grass and ground cover smell like fertilizer. Has anyone had this problem? How do you clean the cover?

Once the ground dries out the smell will go away and if the bottom of the pool is dirty spray it with a hose and give it a chance to dry out then fold it up and put it away but if u r gonna leave it in a garage or a shed wrap it up w/dryer sheets so the mice don't eat holes in the pool!

You will have to fertilize and reseed the dead grass or you will have weeds and or mold growing. The cover you will have to scrub with a fungicide and stretch out to completely dry in the sun. If it is even slightly wet it will get moldy over winter. It might be worth it to use it for something else and buy a new one in the spring

This is my first year... I will find out in a few weeks when I take this pool down... But If it smells bad, I will try to clean it... Or leave it out side thru the winter...

The rain water quickly evaporates. Our problem is with pine pollen and other tree debris. We took the cover off and rinsed it off and then put it back on. I think we will buy a roller that sits at the edge of the pool to simplify the movement.

So sorry to hear about the problem with your mower. No, we have had no smell at all with ours. You should be able to get a refund for that dud! Good luck.

If you use it correctly and make sure you use copious amount of water to ensure the dog waste moves down the drain all the way AND you ensure all "splatter" is rinsed off the outer part of the drain, there should be NO more smell than the normal smell of a sewage drain. It does connect to your waste water piping so your fecal waste is already in that system.

I have used mine for 2 years and have never experienced that problem. Have you checked to make sure the cloth filter doesn't need cleaning? I love mine, I never have to vac my pool. It was well worth the money. I would recommend this rover to anyone. I'm a widow, so it's just me to keep my pool clean. I have 4 grandkids that help mess it up...lol lol

Mine has never done that. Sounds like you have a defective unit. I would contact the manufacturer if I was you. Normally they run for about a 1 hour cleaning cycle and shut off. I have a larger pool (18'x36' oval) and I usually have to run it through two cycles to completely clean the pool.

Yes, I slide the cover off the pool onto the grass. I then hose off all the debris before folding it up for storage.

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.

I have it away from the house. It doesn't normally smell, though when you put fresh grass clippings in it stinks for a couple of days.

Hmmm...I've actually never experienced that. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. But could it be the chemicals your using to clean the pool? Also, the ring should only be partly inflated...the sun will inflate the rest. Shrugging beats me. Let me know if you find out what is causing it. Maybe call the manufacturer and see if they've had other customers complain of this.Have a great day.Hanna

I've only rinsed mine & air dried. If it's just an odor rather than soiled, you might try sealing it in a plastic bag with a few pieces of charcoal for a day or two. That had worked for me with lingering fish smells on other gear.

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.

Your Saltwater system needs cleaned. All you have to do is unhook it from the pool (with the caps provided) and fill it with regular household vinegar. Let it soak for at least an hour. I let mine soak for two hours. I have a small, soft toothbrush that I gently brushed off the metal plates after they had sat in the vinegar. Flush with water and reattach. That should do the trick. Keep your fingers crossed.

I took up the grass and put 10 bags of sand down and a tarp. I am adding sand this year. If your grass is soft just put it on a tarp. Lay on the grass area, what ever you feel will be the floor of the pool.

It sounds like you have grass clogging it up. If it's all clean underneath, then i have no idea.

Amy, this product has 2 pouches that collect debris from the bottom of the pool Each 1 works independently based on the direction the cleaner is going. After 3 or 4 uses, I took the cover off, hosed off the pouches and put them back in place. This is a very good product.
