Hello all -

Hoping someone could give me some guidance or advice. We have an automatic pool cover on our in ground. It’s worked great the past two or three years but it now appears to be slipping. Is there an adjustment or something I’m missing?

From what I can tell, this piece right here is supposed to catch the other lip depending which direction the cover is traveling and there’s just a little too much room. Could be off base here but just my guess. Couldn’t figure out how to attach a video so I put a picture.

Thank you,

Justin

Does the piece you circled rotate with the shaft as you try to open or close the cover? If not likely the problem is that 1/4" roll pin that drives it has sheared (a very common problem with the Coverpools covers of this vintage. If it is rotating then it should, as you suggest, also be sliding sideways on the shaft as the inner shaft rotates to either engage the reels in the top part of the picture to close the cover or the main real below to open it.
