    Winter Cover and Water Accumulation

    I didnt even realize there were covers besides these type. I have bought varying levels over the years (deluxe, supreme, whatever they call it). There are actual water-tight ones? I figured thats what I was always buying since thats what it says in the description. How do I know it is truly...

    Winter Cover and Water Accumulation

    An update-2 weeks since closing and the pool has lost ZERO water. So there are NO LEAKS. The winch worked perfect as always, so I have idea what the fuss about that is about. Would love to get back to my original question about if I am losing water due to pumping water off of the cover.

    Winter Cover and Water Accumulation

    We use 2 different things to keep our cover on snugly over the winter. This thread isn't going the way I hoped.

    Not sure where you are going with that? Are you saying the pool covers are no good? If so wouldnt everyone have this issue?

    Winter Cover and Water Accumulation

    If there are any other ideas/opinions (or if this is normal), I am all ears. We are closing in a few days for the season.

    Winter Cover and Water Accumulation

    Right, but if there was a leak, it would happen when the pool is open also. Let's just assume for this question there is no leak in the pool. Just got a new liner, so if it happens again this winter, then we are 100% on that. I just hate that I lose water for no reason. And I also posted the...

    Huh? I don't want to drain it is the point I was going for unless I misread what you asked?

    The water level drains WAY BELOW the skimmer mouth level so it must be something beyond that

    Winter Cover and Water Accumulation

    Hello All, Question about something I see each year when I close my pool/throughout the winter. Each year I get a new cover (mid range, not the cheapie, not the super deluxe) and I pump the rain water off every couple weeks with a submersible pump made for this specifically. When I close the...

    Question about what to do while pool is filling after liner install

    Just checked the water-there is "some" chlorine in it. It did get more clear when I hit it with one drop. Probably not quite .5, but there is something

    Question about what to do while pool is filling after liner install

    I didnt even think to test fill water for FC. I will check it out-yes it is city water

    Question about what to do while pool is filling after liner install

    Hello Everyone, Finally bit the bullet and got a new liner. Now the pool is filling and will likely take 2-3 days to fill up. In the meantime before the level gets to the skimmer where I can turn on the filter and circulate, it occurs to me that the water is just kind of "sitting there" and is...

    In the process of SLAMming. I don't think my sand filter is working.

    Does it look like this? (picture attached). It sounds like you and I have have the same exact pain. I have something similar to what you are describing-levels are perfect, pool is crystal clear, but after I run the filter for 30 mins or more, I get this stuff. Has been happening for a couple...
