Hi All
I know its just August and a bit early but I tend to plan ahead. This is my 1st year with a AG pool and was wanting to know your opions on winter covers. I've read and read post after post by doing a search and here's what I'm sure of:
1. I'm going to try a leaf net over the cover as we are surrounded by a lot of trees
2. I think I'm gonig to go with a pillow to keep water from accumulating in the middle of the cover
3. I'm going to hire the setup team to teach me how to properly close my pool as I have a zillion questions
Here's where I'm not sure:
Mesh cover that allows the rain to seep thru the cover into the pool OR
solid cover that I need to periodlically pump water off of
seems like with mesh you'd end up with very dirty pool water and can you get too much water in the pool?
Pumping water off a solid cover seems like a pain in the cold plus an added expense of buying a pump
that said - any recommedations on a decent, fairly priced (not overpriced) cover?
Thanks all!
