A pool service is closing my fiberglass pool on Friday or Saturday. I’ve got a loop-lock mesh cover so they claim that it needs to be lowered below the returns to keep the water level below the tile line all winter. Is it safe to lower a fiberglass pool this low or should I have them lower the water a few inches below the skimmer instead and pump out water once it gets near the tile line? It’s not easy to get those loop locs off and on but I’d be willing to monitor the level and drain water out over the winter if it would be safer for my pool than lowering it below the returns.
