    What are your pool chemical levels, and how are you testing?

    Are you leaving the cover rolled up or folded in the sun when not on the pool? That can destroy one pretty quickly.

    Cool Re: Solar Cover Whoes

    Heather, are you putting the bubbles down and flat side up? Birds like to drink from the topside of a cover and beaks and claws can pop the bubbles - but it being the entire cover, I'd imagine that either the water chemistry or storage of the cover, when no in use, is the cause. (John, I've seen quite a few solar covers deteriorate from being folded or rolled, but it's not the entire cover and it takes a couple of months as opposed to a week or 2 , and it's deterioration from the outside (sunny side) in)

    Having done construction and service for 4 pool companies in 4 states starting in 1988, what I know about pools could fill a couple of books - what I don't know could fill libraries
