Hello,
We installed an auto cover last fall and are happy we did. I sold our old safety cover as our pool company said it is best to use the auto cover. Last winter we had a leak that was found late in summer. The leak was repaired, but we will have a new liner next spring. Last winter our auto cover collapsed into the pool due to the leak. I am so nervous about that happening again. I could kick myself for getting rid of our safety cover. Anyway, pool is closed, auto cover on. The pool company said frequently check water level during the winter and to add water as needed to prevent it from collapsing again. Our pool company gave a quote for least expensive cover, not a safety one, with the pillows which was several hundred dollars. I have looked on Amazon and could get them there for a fraction of the cost. I noticed that Amazon has some safety covers for our pool, would need 20x40, around $500. Has anyone used them? I do not know the make of our previous cover, but it was very strong. The anchors spaced about 5’.
We cannot afford to put a lot of money into a new cover, but I also don’t want to have our new cover damaged. Any suggestions and recs are greatly appreciated.
p.s. I hope someone answers.
