Q: Is it mandatory to keep the pool cover in sight while operating it?

Yes. For safety reasons, and in compliance with ASTM F1346 standards, the cover must remain within your direct line of sight while it is opening or closing. This ensures the safety of anyone near the pool and allows you to immediately detect if a person, pet, or object is in the pool area, or if debris such as branches, toys, or other items are on the membrane.
