I've had a vinyl cover(s) on my pool for 20 years. The kind that you put on the water and weigh down the sides with water tubes.
It's time again for a new cover and i'm considering a safety cover - my choice is mesh or solid.
I live in south eastern PA.
I know the differences: water draining into the pool or not - clean water (with solid) - snow removal (with solid).
I have a significant pollen problem in the spring with many large maple and oak trees on my property. This creates a very thick goo on the pool cover each spring that takes forever for me and the Mrs. to get the cover off the pool and clean up everything.
If i choose the mesh cover, i know i will likely have green water and a significant amount of sediment on the bottom on opening day. This coming from a friend nearby that has a mesh cover and trees.
My question is this: with the mesh cover, when i open the pool, i'll vacuum the sediment into the sand filter.
Will i be able to backflush this sediment, sand, dirt, pollen out of the filter?
My water is crystal clear from opening day to closing day - all year long, i can't imagine opening it up to a swamp.
Any one have any comments that may help me with my decision? Mesh or solid?
Thank you in advance.
