Does anybody use childproof pool cover like the loop loc on a daily basis (instead of only for winter) ?

i'd like to use this throughout the summer but i'm concern about the pins out of the concrete and the hassle of installing/removing the cover.

any thoughts?

thanks!

Probably not practical. Even on small pool, you'd spend 30+ minutes installing the cover, and that much again to remove it. And, unless you regularly (like every 2 weeks) cleaned and dry lubed the screws, the anchor screws wouldn't stand for that much use. In seasonal used, they may be raised and lowered 20x over the life of the cover. Even that, can be a problem because grit from the concrete deck tends to get into the threads.
