The size printed on a pool cover can be larger than the pool it fits. Before you order a replacement, start with your Kona pool’s model and dimensions, then match those details to the cover listing. For rectangular pools, you will also need to confirm the appropriate overlap option.
A few minutes spent gathering that information makes it easier to request the right cover and ask useful questions about your off-season plan. Here is what to check before placing an order.
Start with the pool you own
Find your original order, model information or pool paperwork. Write down the shape and the pool’s listed dimensions. If you have a rectangular pool, keep the width and length together; if you have a round pool, record its diameter.
If the paperwork is missing, take clear photos of the pool and any identifying labels before contacting Kona. Ask how to verify the model and measurements. A photo can help explain what you have, but it should not be your only basis for choosing a size.
Keep pool dimensions and cover dimensions on separate lines in your notes. That simple distinction helps prevent a replacement search from starting with the wrong measurement.
Read the pool fit listed beside each cover
The Kona winter cover page identifies both the cover size and the pool it fits. For example, it lists an 11 × 15-foot short-overlap cover for a 9 × 13-foot rectangular pool. The round-pool listings pair an 18-foot cover with a 15-foot pool, a 24-foot cover with a 20-foot pool, and a 27-foot cover with a 24-foot pool.
Use the listed pool match when reviewing your options. If a dimension on an old package differs from your pool paperwork, ask Kona to reconcile the two before ordering. Avoid choosing a cover simply because its dimensions sound close.
Confirm your off-season plan before ordering
Rectangular cover listings include an overlap description as well as dimensions. Confirm the appropriate cover with Kona before treating a size match as final. The plan for your specific pool and location matters, too.
Start with the Kona care and winterizing resources. The linked care guide directs owners in harsh-winter areas to take the pool down and explains that winter preparation depends on climate. Before ordering, ask Kona to confirm the cover and care instructions for your exact pool and location. Consult your local pool professional before changing the water level or preparing equipment for storage.
Tell them whether freezing weather is expected, what equipment is attached, and whether you are considering seasonal disassembly. Keep the questions specific: Is leaving this pool assembled appropriate here? If so, which cover and instructions apply? What preparation does each piece of equipment need?
A cover selection alone does not establish a complete winter-care plan. Keep the relevant pool and equipment instructions together so you can follow the requirements for your setup.
Make the quote easy to confirm
When you request a quote, include your pool model, shape and dimensions, along with the overlap option you have been advised to use. Mention an existing deck or surround and any access questions so the team can address them before you order.
Ask for the exact cover description in the reply. Confirm which fastening components or accessories are included, what else you need, current availability and the total delivered price. If your timing matters, ask for the current fulfillment estimate rather than assuming an item will arrive by a particular weekend.
Keep that reply with your pool records. The next time you need a replacement, you will have the confirmed combination and a useful starting point for checking whether anything has changed.
