I know this is a strange question, but I was wondering if you put winterization plugs on all openings on your above ground pool, do you then only need to drop the water level to say 6 - 8 inches below the deck? I am wondering this because a cover I bought that sits on the pool water mentioned (and I totally spaced it) its good for a 12 in drop below the deck for the given size, or buy a bigger size (my prob). Now, I am wondering if you seal all the openings, then you may not need to drop it as much if that makes sense.
Thoughts?
