....cor!....even your wrapped up for the winter yard looks *perfect* and nice. How do you manage this!?@?! LOL

I know I asked before but I forget the answer.....will you be placing any cypress (whatever type you have there) on the street side of the yard?

Cedar trees is what we would use. Don’t know yet. Gave it a lot of thought then made room in my brain for something else. Will revisit it in the spring.

What are the squares on the cover? Everything looks nice and tucked in.

The material is doubled in those squares and correspond to abrupt corners like where the bench seats are and the curves of the pool. Not sure why there is one near the skimmer and to be honest I didn’t know there would be any at all.

The cover looks more durable than I expected for sure. Specially for $1500 CDN.

 

[kimkats]

It does look strong! Nice pick!

That makes sense to have it doubled in those areas but yeah on the skimmer why?

Our cover has a double layer around the entire exterior where the edge of the coping is. It's not sewn in but is velcroed to the outer edge and is 2' wide. Could be the skimmer patch was put on the wrong side of the cover and then they put one opposite it in the right place.

I had no idea we were supposed to bring our pump in! The company that came to close it told us to leave everything as they left it (we only brought the filters in). Hopefully it’s okay once the snow melts!

 

[uxbridgechris]

Lots of people drain their pump and leave it outside. That is pretty standard. Gotta be better to bring it inside though. Just me.

 

[eldender]

So I haven’t ruined it by leaving it outside once but should bring it in next year?

 

[uxbridgechris]

I would say that having the pump inside and warm must be better than letting it freeze and be covered in snow all winter. So it is up to you.
Do
If you don’t already have unions on the pump you will have to install some if you want to easily disconnect and bring inside.

 

[bmoreswim]

The issue is all the dampness in the motor over the winter while it is not running tends to make the metal components corrode together, for lack of a more technical explanation. It's a best practice to remove it but many people don't and do just fine. Removing it does provide insurance that such an issue won't occur.

 

[YippeeSkippy]

If your pump is going to be covered in snow for extended periods, yeah, bring it in.

Chris that DOES look great!!! Now go out there and attach that sock of CYA to a broom handle to keep it touching the side of the pool.

 

[uxbridgechris]

Sock is empty but when it was full I had the pump blowing it away from the wall. Will it stain or bleach the wall?

 

[jtburf]

Looks great, I am semi envious!!!! Mine is in my drive way!!!!

[YippeeSkippy]

yeah, its acidic so it can mar the finish on walls or floors.
