We live in Texas and heat/use our pool year round. We also have lots of trees shedding leaves and other plagues into the pool. I mounted a solar-cover reel, but use a heavy duty poly tarp on the real instead of the bubble-wrap solar cover. I bolted some large washers to the tarp to connect to brass anchors on the deck instead of using the grommets it came with. The tarp keeps debris out and heat in overnight during colder months. The tarp is easy to cut to size, and is cheap enough to replace when it wears out. It's also easy to put on and take off daily when we want to.
I’ve been waiting until after temps are below 60 and opening before they get above 60 with a tarp. i’m thinking of a mesh cover and it sounds like i’ll be good if i keep doing the same times.
Northeast US here; leaves start flying in mid-September. Actually, have had more leaves falling this Summer than usual. Having our pool closed 9.25. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for this! Found it very helpful!
The reason to close later and open earlier is water temperature. Once the water stays below 60F nothing much grows in it.
