It's been a cool spring thus far here in the Northeast and my pool is barely 74*.

I've been avoiding getting a solar cover (asthetics + safety) but I'm about to break down get a cover + wheel.

I've never had one before so I've got a few questions.

I just installed a thepoolcleaner pressure side cleaner. The hose floats back/fourth in the pool. Can I leave the cleaner in the pool with the cover on? Seems like the floating tube will move the cover back/fourth with it... or does it just slide around under the cover?

How easy are leaves/debris to deal with? My pool is somewhat leafy (skimmer full in 2 days if not emptied). The debris will land on the cover correct?when the cover is wheeled up, does it just fall backl into the pool and you have to skim it?

OK to leave it on during rainstorms?

Thanks!
