Re: ICE Level getting too close! HELP
We live here in West Michigan, right along the lake. We get tons of lake effect snow each year.
Our cover is a mesh cover. We've never done anything to the pool once we've closed it. By spring, it's never been up over the edge. And we only lower the water to the bottom of the skimmer in the fall. I'm amazed that it hasn't overflowed yet, but it hasn't.
But as wasted pointed out, there is little actual water in melted snow.
Also, I would worry about dropping the level of your water under the ice. Thinking of a huge chunk/slab of ice going down just doesn't sound right. Even if it didn't shear off your inlets, it might tear your liner if your pool was off by just a tiny bit in some places. Meaning not perfectly symmetrical.
So I guess I'll have to say that if it was me, I wouldn't worry about it.
Why BBB? Because money can't buy happiness, but saving it sure can!
