hello,
Long time reader and first time poster. I really enjoy reading and learning everything I can from this site.
So this is starting year 3 of pool ownership and I think I’m getting the hang of it. We had some major issues with our pool plaster after initial fill but that is a “story” for another time.
This year we added a pool cover, clear 12 mil, in the hopes retaining some heat and increasing the water temp a little sooner in the season.
So when we were putting away the cover we laid it out besides the pool on the grass to dry before rolling it up for storage. It was a bright sunny day and was on the grass for maybe two hours total. The next day we noticed that the grass had some brown spots near the pool and two days later it looked like the attached pic ( huge brown spot). I’m not really good at math but I think I was able to but 2 and 2 together (with some help) and get that this was “caused” by the cover. It’s not exactly the same size and shape but it is right where the cover was laid out to dry.
Has as anyone ever experienced something like this?
Maybe it’s just a fluke and my luck, we are trying to get the place cleaned up and prepared/looking nice for an upcoming graduation party and the grass going from nice and green to a huge brown spot is not surprising for how I roll...
