Sooooo if you have read any of my posts over the last year you probably know that my swimming pool is surrounded by trees and I have found with them getting in my pool daily for a long time. Anyway I got a new pool last week and I decided that with that new pool I would get a cover too that way I would just leave it covered when we weren't in it and that way there would be less leaves and debris getting in it, making cleaning it a lot easier. Well I bought two covers hoping if one didn't work the other one would. Well one was the same brand name as the pool I got and it was nice and heavy BUT it had holes in it.......now what the heck is the point in that. If you're trying to keep stuff out of the pool why would you put a cover on it that has holes in it??? So chalked that one up to being the one that was going to be returned and went to get the other one. Which just happened to be a solar one and I was excited about that because again if you have read my posts over the last year you know these trees that drop all the nasty stuff in my pool also block the sun from shinning on it so my pool is never very warm so figured a solar one might help. Got it on and it doesn't fit very tight but it fits and I thought wow it looks good......well then the night I put it on the wind got a little windy and I don't mean storm windy just a little windy and it blow it off and into the pool. So then we put it back on and tried to get it a little tighter and it seemed to work better but it has rained the last couple days and I looked at it this morning and it has fallen off and into the pool again.
Soooooo my question is what is the BEST above ground pool cover and how do people get the water off of the cover when it rains? Do you have to take the cover off, empty the rain water off of it and put it back on or is there an easier way?
