iPool by Fitmax

[Young707]

We have a ipool3 around 3 years now in Northern California.

So far we are on the 3rd pool covers (one standard, 2 deluxe covers & price hiked).

The ipool covers do not fit the ipool with ladder at all. When it rains, dirty cover water drains into the pool. (Lucky not much rain untill now). Plastic sheets? Garbage bags? Any suggestions?

We have the Excel tankless gas heater, 6.6GPM. (before price hiked). Average around 10 degrees F increase per hour from around 60F to 85F. Both pump & heater controlled by Gosund switch WiFi remote controllers. Seek WiFi remote temperature sensor (Inkbird LCD only, leaked rusted kaputt, now Bluetooth BLE-YC01 hate daily pairing). Suggestions welcome.

Perhaps you could carefully make slits in the cover for the ladder & add velcro to attach it back together once it is in place?
No idea on the wifi temp sensor - you can try a search here to see what others have tried/liked. Most don’t last long unfortunately but tech gets better every day.

This is what iPool3 with deluxe cover over the ladder looks like.
There is a big empty gap between the edge end of the cover to the rim of pool next to the ladder.

The pic really helps!
Maybe just use a cheap small tarp like this

5 ft. 6 in. x 7 ft. 6 in. Blue All-Purpose Weather-Resistant Tarp

Amazing deals on this 5Ft 6In X 7Ft 6In Blue Tarp at Harbor Freight. Quality tools & low prices.

(Cut it to just cover what you need leaving the grommets at the bottom incase you need to secure it with bungees in windy conditions)
& some blue duct tape (for aesthetics) ought to do the trick.

Yes, thanks, we done this similiar taped skirt thing inside the cover. Tough to daily get into & out of the pool through the steps. Throught there may be better ideas.
Except recent weeks, around the year, we do not have much, if any, rain in California most of the time.
