Draining water off cover

[richierich]

I was just curious - Do people drain water off their AGP pool periodically during the fall/winter? Or do they just wait until spring when they open the pool.

I've been using my small pump to drain it off the cover after heavy rains a few times.

I also had a few leaves on the cover also so I grabbed the skimmer pole and got rid of them

I have pumps setup on my pool covers to get rid of the water. Otherwise once it freezes you get heavy blocks of ice under the snow that will accumulate. I would rather get rid of as much water as possible now until we get a freeze and snow pack. Then the pumps go back when the snow melts.
