Solid Safety Cover

[Moe 103]

I am looking to purchase a solid safety cover for the winter. I live in central New Jersey where we get some snow and a few weeks that are usually below freezing. Can I get a cover without a drain? I have read that pumps don’t fair well when it gets below 0.

Thanks

You don't need a cover with a drain.

Put a pool cover pump on the cover to pump water off. Pull the pump off when temps are going to get below freezing. Once we get a hard freeze let the snow and ice accumulate until there is thaw and then put the pump back on the cover.

If you have no kids, I highly recommend a Merlin Pool Guard cover with rubber straps instead of the 3x3 solid cover that is double the price!
