So the first step is to get the winder which is kept over the back wall.

It's on the little hook here.

It goes into this little hole in the deck.

There's a little lug it clicks into.

And then you start winding anti-clockwise. Super important!

Then just wind, wind, wind, wind, wind. 

Now this is the super important bit!

Stop winding just as the bar comes towards the end slot.

Lean into the pool and lift the bar up towards the ledge. Water drains out at the end. Sometimes there's leaves and rubbish that fall off too.

And then you just rest the bar on the ledge, but not all the way in. So it just sits on the ledge and doesn’t fall down below the deck.

And you'll see in the middle there, a little strap. You'll need that for putting the cover back on again.

Tuck the strap in. You don't want to push this too far in otherwise it disappears and you can't get it back.

If there's lots of bugs and leaves in the pool, there's a net on a hook on the back wall.

Give it a clean over the back wall. 

There is an inside out for the net. Scoop with the smooth leading edge, not the underside of the net.

The pool itself is self-cleaning. There's nothing else to do!

Those white buttons pop up and spray water when the pool is cleaning itself.

There's also a spa cover which you can just unhitch, roll up and put under one of the benches over there.

To put the cover back on again, you can either just reach in if you're standing in the pool and give it a yank out by hand. Or, there's actually the proper way to do it. Go to the sink here. And underneath this sink is a rope.

I'll just use this one here. You just hook this into that bit of black cord that was hanging from the cover.

And just pull it back out again. Pull it in a straight line and then it just sits on the water.

And that is how to take the pool cover off and put it back on again!
