So tried a cover for the first time this year.(https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005Y6YFAG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1).
I went to go take it off today and the cover appears to have sunk. I believe there got some leaves and weight onto it in the center of it, weighing it down [EDIT: tried using leaf net and got hardly anything].
I believe this tarp cover can have water pass through (from my estimation) [edit it just like a circular shaped tarp like you would put on a car].
I started to try to "pump the water off it" but realized I was going to drain my pool, and it's hard to get water for me as I am on a well.
I peeked under the cover and could see the bottom, not murky, and ready to be easily brought back [edit: see tantilizing blue water picture below taken under the cover]. This is so frustrating.
I'm currently considering getting a few vice grips and pulling on the cover and vice gripping the slack around the edges and basically filter the water back down through the cover??? idk if this is worth trying or any of it, just sad, as i thought a cover would be a good idea this year after last years disaster (1.5 month slam that I didnt realize just how much debris was on the bottom [couldnt see it]).
[Edit: If i have to drain the cover, then i have to, but it will probably take 2 weeks to refill it from half.]
