    Solar Cover Routine?

    Hi all, we have a 21' above ground pool. Here's a pic of our solar cover. We're curious what your routine is? Okay, so we lay it out in the pool, obviously. Where do you put it when you take it off? We don't want to get a bunch of dirt and junk on it. Do you roll it up? Lay it on the ground...

    Getting water off pool cover

    My pool cover is full of water. Placed the hose on cover to drain the water off and rather than the nasty water on the cover draining the actual pool water is draining. The hose was on the water on the cover not under. Why is pool water draining and not the water trapped on top? Help?!?
