Troubleshooting
Telescopic handle won't stay extended
Ensure the twist-lock mechanism is tightened securely; if it slips, check for sand or grit inside the lock that may need cleaning.
Mesh is clogging too quickly
Rinse the net frequently during use and avoid scooping up heavy, thick mats of algae at once; break larger mats into smaller segments first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the net, simply extend the telescopic handle to your desired length and ensure the locking mechanism is engaged. After use, rinse the net thoroughly with fresh water to remove any pond muck or algae residue; this prevents odors and preserves the integrity of the 2mm mesh. Store the net in a shaded, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent the handle's plastic components or the mesh material from degrading over time. Inspect the net head regularly for any debris trapped in the frame edge to ensure the protective liner guards remain effective.
