This is my first time attempting to winterize my pool. I have always just taken it down completely but my dad is the one who knows how to/helps and he recently had a heart attack I don't want him trying to do anything (he's stubborn as Darn and WILL do it if I don't get it done myself before he can).
I've been reading the article here and the forums. I need a cover and have no idea what to get. I've read that a solid one would require me removing snow/water from it all during winter? And a mesh one wouldn't require that? We get tons of snow and many below 0° days. I don't want to trudge through multiple feet of snow to clear off a cover all throughout winter.
But wouldn't the pool freeze to the very top then from all the extra water going in through a mesh cover? Should I leave the inlet/outlet unplugged if using a mesh cover? Does a mesh still require a cable and winch? Do I need something under it like a solar cover or a pillow?
Any info/suggestions on a cover and how to use it would be very much appreciated!
