    My winter cover keeps ripping!

    Thanks for all the help I got the deck modified so I got the cover down on all sides the leaf net showed up and we got that on and all appears to be good. The distributor for the cover is sending us a new cover so all is good on that front. Later today the wind is supposed to gust to 30 so we...

    My winter cover keeps ripping!

    Thanks I think we will probably go that route once we find out the leaf situation and the winter cover wears out.

    My winter cover keeps ripping!

    Ok thanks I suspect there won't be many leaves on it as the trees are all on the south side of the pool and the wind now is primarily out of the north so all it will be doing is holding the cover down

    My winter cover keeps ripping!

    I just use a winterize kit for 30000 gal the winters here see temps down to 10-20 below zero but not for extended periods mostly 10-40 deg. above zero. I am mostly worried about algae blooming in the spring.

    I have thought about that also what do I have to do differently to prevent algae growth if I dont have a cover installed? I have had such a problem with this Familypoolfun.com has been such a pain and no help. I have a leaf net coming and will install it asap.

    My winter cover keeps ripping!

    I have not had a winter cover last longer than a week. I had a cover that came with the pool made by Midwest canvas that lasted less than a day on the first cover and the second lasted 2 days and then the manf. just started ignoring our calls so I went with a next size larger arctic armor and it...
