    Winter cover preferences

    I have a 21' round AGP. Getting ready to close for winter and need a new cover. I've used a closed cover in the past and removed standing water with a sump pump. I worked fairly well. Was wondering if I should get a cover that lets the rain water go into the pool. Then I don't have to worry...

    New Pool Owner - Pump question.

    First time pool owner. Water tests seem ok. I shock at night and turn the pump on. When I get up the next morning the pump has shut down. The pump is only 3 months old. I changed the DE about 2 weeks ago. The gauge is running around 14. It goes up to 20 every few days and I have to bump it to...
