go pens- eyeball angle

[Watermom]

When I have a bunch of stuff floating on the surface, I position in to make the water circulate around the perimeter of the pool towards the skimmer. (I have a round pool.) When I am adding any bleach, borax, etc., I position it aimed downward but still kind of to the side. I also aim it downward to the side when I am trying to accumulate leaves, etc. to the center of the pool to make it easier to vacuum if I am going to do it manually or when my solar cover is on or otherwise it wants to float out of position. (I have a large circular solar cover that has been cut into fourths to make it easier to manage instead of one huge piece.) Does this help? Welcome to the forum!

Thanks Watermom it does help. How big is your pool? Mine is 21 round and the solar cover is a pain to put on and off as I have rails all around the pool. Does cutting the cover in fourths help out alot?

Mine is a 24ftAG. Having cut it into fourths makes it SO much easier to manage. I can put it on by myself which is something that was really hard to do before I cut it.

I do EXACTLY what Watermom does and my pool is 40'x16' rectangular. I also suggest pointing it at the surface when one is seeking to aerate the pool (part of the process of lowering total alkalinity)..
