8) How does the cover extend over the pool?

The motor does all the work for you by unwinding the cover from the reel. There is a tether kit that can be attached to the end of the cover so one person can easily guide it across the water. Please watch the demonstration video on our support page to see the ease of operation.

The Pool Boy® systems do not need to be secured to the deck. They come standard with non-skid pads to help keep the stands in place. There are holes available if you choose to permanently mount the system to your deck. If you choose to do this, please check your local electrical codes to determine the necessary procedure for doing so.
