Good day, all,
I'm getting a micro mesh cover installed next month and wonder if I'm going to need to keep an eye on the water level over the winter. I live in Eastern PA and typically get quite a bit of rain from Sept through April while the pool is covered.
I've always had a solid floating cover with water tubes, so never had to worry about the pool filling up and overflowing.
I've heard that I should lower the water level to below the skimmer frame/returns and plug up all the plumbing. That should be around 8" below full, or just below the top step. Any water from rain or snow will seep through and fill it back up.
So, do i need to keep an eye on the water level (once the ice melts, that is... )??
