Recently bought a place with a pool and cover. Have had two winter closings now, both companies say cover isn’t set up right for closing at the waterfall, which is on a curved section. Result is a gap where water and leaves get in. Contacted the Meyco company and they agreed, should have more than one anchor in the waterfall (currently one eyelet anchor in the middle). Next pool season I’ll look at getting more anchors in. But right now, any ideas on how to close the gap, with the cover already installed? I considered getting a cable, wrap around the waterfall, run it through the single eyelet anchor, put into the hooks on the cover, and try to winch to tighten cable. Probably the small cables and winches used for above ground pools wouldn’t work, but perhaps more heavy duty cable with a come-along winch. Most recent pool company that closed suggested just stuffing some garbage bags to close the gap, and a tarp to prevent water, but I think the runoff from the waterfall will still be substantial enough that I will have to be pumping out water through the season.
Also, even with more anchors I’m not sure how to install, I was told most safety covers have a cable as part of the cover which attached to half hook anchors in the wall, but my safety cover does not have any such cable, just hooks underneath. I feel like there was something intentional in the install, but I feel like there is a missing piece.
