I'm in the San Fransisco bay area, California. I have a lot of trees around my pool, and tons of debris ends up on top of the cover, which then turns into nasty dark water and algae on top of the cover. Leaves also still get under the cover and into the pool. Whenever I take off the cover to clean the pool, a lot of that nasty debris on top of the cover ends up in the pool. It'd be easier to go without the cover all winter, and I can just stay on top of skimming the pool without having to deal with the cover every time. Is there any reason not to do this? Do I really need the cover on? ...It's a solar cover, which good enough to warm the pool in the summer, but nobody's going swimming anymore until like May or June.
Cheers,
Patrick
