    My advice to you is this.....read all the stickys in this forum and take the time to really understand the chemistry of a pool and how each number affects the other. Once you understand that, just follow the BBB method. Get a good test kit (Taylor 2006c) and whack away with the chlorine. It's simple but difficult at the same time until you understand the process.

    I too have a loop-loc mesh cover, this is my 2nd season with it. My pool has been a swamp both times I opened it. Previously I had a regular solid winter cover, held down by water bags. I got tired of pumping off the cover, and cleaning off the leaves. That's why I went with the all mesh cover. Do not replace your old cover with an all mesh cover. There are 2 other loop-locs you can buy, one has a couple of mesh panels that let water through, the other is a solid cover with a pump. Either of these will prevent your pool from turning into a swamp over the winter.
