winter safty covers(solid or mesh)?

[JohnT]

Several people speak of draining water several times during the winter from their pools with mesh covers. If you are plugging the input to the pool and plugging the skimmer, why do you need to drain the water? Is it that it might otherwise overflow the pool?

Mine would easily overflow if I didn't drain it. Also looks funny once water gets so high. The cover starts dipping into the water, then sags when it's wet. Dropping the water lets the cover stay flat.

Just an update.

went with a solid cover and opened to just about crystal clear water.

my neighbor down the street opened his mesh covered pool and it was green.


Im so glad i went solid.


thanks-
