Hi,
i just installed a fibreglass pool at my home in Arizona where I am a winter resident. I'm looking for any input on how I should leave the pool when I go home for the summer. My plan was to cover the pool with a winter cover and only run the pump for an hour or two a day. Will this work or will it get mouldy, or slimy, etc under the cover. This way I won't loose a lot of water to evaporation, save electricity not having to run the pump as much and keep all the blowing sand out of the pool from the summer storms. It also should elevate having to have a pool guy to come by weekly to check chemicals etc. I do have someone checking on my house and yard when I'm gone but they don't know much about pools. I also have a friend across the street that has a pool that will come over and check on things for me. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
