Hello!
I'm researching available foam covers for a rectangular 20,000 gallon pool. They're brands sold in Australia and USA, but there's none locally where I live (Hamilton, ON, Canada) and they are expensive.
Are any of you using a foam cover?
...~1/8 to 1/4 thickness (approx, give or take) and want to do this by next season (if not before) to replace my bubble cover on a reel.
Also, any of you using a double-roller-cover system?
Or a roller permeable/debris cover of any kind?
...One floating cover and one hovering cover (i.e. impermeable roller foam/bubble cover + a permeable roller debris/winter cover?) Basically, a winter cover that is on roller instead of having straps; and overhangs the edges of the pool to make sweeping super-easy. I ask because I have a problem with debris falling from my foilage surrounding my pool. Since I'm extending my pool season (to year-round operation) tree-shedding is an issue & I'd like better thermal efficiency than a bubble cover. In summer, I'd move one of the rollers out of the way -- or simply close one or both covers depending on whether I want permeability/chemical/thermal control. In the fall/winter/spring, I'd close both covers simultaneously (between pool uses) for keeping warmth in and to easily sweep debris, even wet debris would become easy.
