This will be the 4th season for my safety cover. The previous owner used it twice.
How tight should the cover be stretched? We get a lot of rain and snow here, and even though I lowered the level below the returns, in under 3 weeks rain has already covered them 5-6 inches of rain.
It snowed 1/2 inch and the cover was laying on the surface. When the snow melted
it went up again, but I suspect I should tighten all the straps. I suspect it has never been done since the first safety cover install.
I pulled back the cover and I will pump the level back down with a sump pump.
There are already more leaves in the pool than when I covered it 3 weeks ago,
however, most of the leaves have fallen and I cleaned and bagged the pool area yesterday.
I wonder if water filled logs could be used to keep leaves from getting under the cover?
