    I'll reply in a little bit in my thread. "Watermom's Pool Adventure" so as to keep it all in one place. I've been meaning to get back to that thread and give a review, but just haven't had time to get to it since the forum has been so busy lately.

    Ok. Another nudge to remind me to give my review. I'll go and do that right now before I forget again and then I'll come back and link it here for you.

    EDIT to add link to the thread "Watermom's New Pool Adventure"

    We cut our solar cover into several sections. You can see photos of how we put them on and remove them here: http://www.ellerbach.com/Pool/ . We found that the styrofoam knobs we used as handles of sorts really aren't needed. Turns out that each section just sort of floats itself across the pool into position when gently nudged with a telepole. When we remove each section, we fold it accordion-style as it comes off the pool and store them in the shade during the day. We've used the same cover for nearly five seasons now with very little damage to the air bubbles.
