Solar Cover as Winter Cover?

[CoffeeBean]

Thanks Carl for the input. Somehow I was afraid that would be the answer. I appreciate being saved a giant mess.

The solar cover looks like giant "pop-it" packing stuff where the bubbles are in the material. I had no idea the bubbles come off of the solar cover!

I'm beginning to think there's no easy cover way.

I use a safety-mesh cover. It lets water pass through, and, dust and pollen, but it works very well. Plus, it's designed to support the weight.

It's not that tough to put on.

You might be fine with just the leaf mesh, but if you don't have a pillow in the water the weight of ice and snow MAY damage it...but maybe not.
