Thanks - I don't think there is a liner leak - throughout the summer (early May - September) I only have to add about 2" of water which I associate with sun burn off and splashing. My biggest issue is the cover being pushed under water and the pool water pushing up through which I pump off -...

This will be year 4 and the previous 3 were a pain in the ***. We get a decent amount of rain/snow during the winter which causes the cover to push under the pool water level and then pool water pushes up through the little pinholes/cover material and floods the top of the cover, and the weight...

I'd agree with the leak theory... but I really do not lose anything noticeable throughout the summer. I might have to throw the hose in once a month for an inch or so that sun burnt off/people splashed out. Weird thing is for displacement the water level would have to be at the top around the...

Yes, said that in the first post.

True but I never once have notice the outside water level close to the top edge of the pool, where the heck is it pushing out at?? I guess there is really not much I can do about this... What does everyone think about putting the air cushion in the middle and pulling the winter cover TIGHT...

I'd say.. 4 storms of 3-6" and one of 11"... plus a few minor ice storms and some rain. I drive around and see other pools, same cover and setup, water level is fine.

I have a 25x15 AGP in eastern PA. Every winter, I put a 15x4 air pillow secured in the center, put the cover over it (draped loosely over the pillow, laying on the water before going over the pool side). Each year before closing I drain it about 6-8" so it's just below the skimmer level. Both...

I'm on the side of using one for this simple reason: last year mine popped. All the water and Crud on top went to the center of the cover where I couldn't get to it to clean it off. We had a TON of snow (eastern PA) in February and it all went to the middle, what this did was push down in the...

I have a 5x15 air pillow for my 25x15 oval pool - this will be the third year I've closed and I have still yet to master keeping that thing centered in the pool. It has two grommets on it, one on each end in opposite corners. I center it up and tie it off to the ends of the pool. I can't make...

Last year due to the heavy snow and ice it trashed my pool cover, need a new one this year. The local pool store offers a deal for a 25x15 oval cover (with free chemicals and air pillow) for $129.00 It has the grommets every 16" and the cable and tensioner etc... Chemicals included are two...

I have a 30x15 AGP with a Proline pump with regular filter and chlorine dispenser. The whole system is about 2.5 years old. Just this year (in the past month) have had a problem of an air pocket forming in the system and it hangs at the basket cleanout on the pump itself. Daily I have to shut...

I think I understand what you are explaining - if so here is my theory cause it happened to me. When my air cushion in the middle popped one year, a heavy chunk of ice formed in the middle and it being so heavy pushed down basically "under" the water line and pushed water up and out of the...

Well honestly as we were pulling the cover off the water under it wasn't bad. It wasn't clear and perfect, but it was pretty clean for having holes in the cover. I guess I just need to suck it up and get the pump going in the next week or so.

My winter cover formed some holes in it over the past few months from ice, and the water on top was becoming green from the warm temps lately (70s, abnormally high) so I figured I needed to get the cover off before the green water filters its way down through the holes into the pool water...

This will be the third year of having my above ground pool - so far I just have had the pump wired to a switch in my garage which I'd have to remember to turn on and off each day, and with my work schedule forgot half the time. I'm looking for some sort of simple, inexpensive 24 hour timer...
