Is there a way to hook it to the edges of the pool so it doesn't blow off? Or does it just lay on top?

it just lays on top. it adheres to the water like creating a suction force...excellent for preventing evaporation of water and chemicals. does not last more than a year and vendor will not honor warranty.

It just lays on top. We live in very windy area and it often gets blown part way across pool but not off.

Darissa it just lays on top, no hooks. It does what it is supposed to do, keeps things from floating in your pool while not in use, also helps warm your pool. I use this cover and recommend it. Great summer cover. Hope my answers help.

It just lays on top, but it never blows off because it sticks to the water. I trimmed mine so it fit exactly inside the pool with no over hang. Works great, heats well, but bacteria grew faster too.

I'm sure you could fasten something to the edges of the pool and the cover (similar to how the cover would attach to the cover reel). I don't think there is much of a need for that however. A little bit of water always seems to come on top of the cover to weigh it down on top of the "suction" the cover and water create together. It's a great cover for the price, even compared to more expensive covers. Good luck

It just lays on top of your pool. I have never had an issue with the cover blowing off. I also place my pool floats on top of the cover.

Just buy the chlorine tabs and chlorine holder that floats in the pool. You can adjust the bottom for more or less, and you just let it float around, no worries!

I placed mine on top of the sand base, directly under the liner. Others have placed theirs below the sand. I run no risk of vegetative growth under my pool, I added this to get a fantasticly smooth liner floor.

These are not "mounted". There is a magnetic base that is attached to the side of the pool. The light "Attaches" to that magnetic base. If a base falls off; the light floats to the top of the pool. The light itself sits inside the pool. There is a wire going from the light and that will hang over the side of the pool.

On my above-the-ground pool, there are caps where the pieces of fiberglass come together and we tuck the cords under those caps so they lie flat. I hope that helps.

No, that is the size but I can't imagine why you'd want it not in complete contact with the water. When exposed to the sun the water keeps the plastic from overheating (by exchanging the heat of the plastic into the water) thus preventing the plastic from rapid deterioration. If your having trouble with the plastic blowing off of the covered pool you might try weighting the plastic down with something, perhaps an un-coiled garden hose?

We have it attached to a round intex ultra frame pool. I did have to drill holes, as one of the previous answers stated, but it was no problem. We took the pieces down over the winter and are now using for the second season with no signs of breakage. It has worked really well - we had previously ended up with nasty stuff from the ground in our solar blanket and trouble putting it back on without two adults. Now I can do it cleanly all by myself. It's great, because that solar blanket adds a month or more at the beginning and end of our swim season.

Hmmmm !!!! Not sure the question makes sense to me BUT ,,,, lets try to address this ok on all poles at the end that goes into the water there are two small holes opposite one another ..... if this is NOT the case you have a problem with the POLE..... moving on .....on the OCEAN BLUE connection there are two plastic "bumps" you squezze these bumps inward and place the pole over these "bumps"and release the bumps when they line up with the holes on the pole therefor LOCKIONG the pole to the ocean blue. Hope this helps ... another thought is to take the ocen blue & the pole to your local pool supply place and let them solve your problem..... have a good day :-)

When you get the pool, it comes rolled up in a box. After using it, you can stand on one part of the side to drain the water, hang to dry on a fence or garden chair, and then roll it back up to store it. As for setup, it's easy. Just set it on a flat level surface, put the hose in, and straighten out the bottom and sides as it fills up. The sides will stay up once you have at least a few inches of water in it.

I got a tarp bigger than the given dimensions so it would tuck around the sides and hold on better. I also got one of the solar ones to help keep the water warm (I live in New England). If you get one of those, I think you're supposed to trim it to the exact size of the water so it lies flat on the surface, but I did not do that. I left it much too big, so it would tuck around the sides and not blow off in winds.

Hi Lizh...I am not sure how it should go on mine was already attached when I got it. I would imagine though that you just screw it into the top as far down as you can until it catches. That may do the trick

i just have a more powerful filter/pump attached which keeps the water agitated but for adding a ramp & a pump for current? I don't believe thats a good idea. Top inflatable ring needs a air replenishment every week or so to keep it semi rigid. Pool is fine for a few kids or just floating on a air mattress

Yes, it stormed a lot when ours was on and it sticks to the water like it's glued on. Works fabulously.. it wasn't even tucked becuase our pool is bigger than the cover, so it was just floating on top and it stayed just fine. There are little holes in the top that let rain through so it wont sit on top

It doesn't fit over the edges, it is just a circle cut to lay just inside the rim so that it rests on the pool water itself and floats. If you're hoping to use it as a pool cover too in order to prevent debris, then carefully consider the amount of debris and type. My pool is under a covered patio and I still prefer the separate pool cover that goes all the way around the rim and is secured by a draw string.

You do not have to secure it to the pool. Just put it in and it does not float.

You could check a pool center, or as suggested inflatable ball, or we also use a regular bouncy ball [kids/adults have better control, and wind doesn't blow it away

Yes, that's how I blow it up. You need a rubber air tip to get it to seal on the stem of the pool but it's easy to do using an old inner tube stem or something similar. If you have an air blow tip, then a piecve or rubber hose on it will do too.
