Hello Everyone,
Thanks in advance for your input.
We have a new pool getting ready to open up this month (hopefully!) and are at the pool cover stage with our PB.
The pool has one side with a ledge waterfall. This is the side that we are being asked for our options. The two options to secure the cover for the waterfall side of the pool cover (included in our contract) are to either:
1. have the support bolts installed under the coping or
2. have the support bolts installed behind the waterfall on the deck
The cover technician is suggesting that we do option 1. He says that option 2 will necessitate two pumps for water gathering on top of the cover as opposed to only one pump for option 1. In addition, he says that option 2 will present itself with gaps at the ends of the ledge that will allow for debris.
Our thoughts are that option 1 will not be a tight enough seal between the cover and the edge and will allow for debris along the whole edge. In addition, it seems like if they "wrap" the ledge like a present, there should be no/minimal gaps.
What is everyone's advice here as to what we should have done with the cover install? Should we cover over and behind the ledge waterfall or should we just cover up to the waterfall and secure it under the coping?
Thanks again in advance
