I have a 30,000 gallon salt water pool in Nashville Tennessee with a curved retaining wall along the back side. I've been told by my former pool guy that it can't be safely covered. I love it in the summer but in the fall, I have to skim leaves multiple times a day. I have to run the pump 24/7 to prevent freezing. I test the water and float chlorine tabs while it is too cold for the SWG. This pool is a lot of work for the 7 months I can't use it. The challenges are:
- There is a retaining wall which is curved so anchoring on 3 sides would leave gaps
- The retaining wall has cement but it is set pretty far back which makes it appear to be dry-stacked. I don't know how you would get anchors into it. Drill into stone?
- Half the retaining wall is above the deep end so you couldn't just stand in the pool and drill anchors.
- During one rain time (100 year flood) the liner has floated. Because of this we were advised to not lower the water level so I'm not sure I can lower the level to winterize
- Is there a type of cover that could be secured?
- What type of anchors could be added to that stone wall?
- Is there a type of cover that could secure over the wall? Such as something angled like a tent. It doesn't have to be flat and if it wasn't, water wouldn't sit on it.
- Is there a type of cover that would just catch leaves, stems, and helicopter seeds?
- Anyone cover the pool for winter but still keep the pump going and water balanced?
