How much water can one expect to pump off a cover when it's wayyyyyyy underwater?!
I bought a new pool cover last fall for my 21' circular above ground pool, and it stinks. My previous one didn't allow much transference, but this one has been a sieve. Add to that my air pillow popped mid-winter, so my cover is stretched to it's limits and has a good 18+ inches of water on top of it. Swampy brown water at that!
I started running my pump this afternoon in advance of opening the pool on Saturday, but I'm thinking this may be a lost cause. Not sure I'll be able to get water off enough to do much more than just loosen the cover, have it sag to the bottom, and dump tons of cruddy water into the pool.
If anyone has any bright ideas I'm all ears!
