Small holes in a solid cover can allow you to pump out pool water.
How do you avoid pumping out water from under the pool cover?
1. Place your Cover Saver non electric pump 3' to 5' from the side of the pool where you plan to pump off the water. Now put a Frisbee or similar object under the Cover Saver. Only water that collects in the Frisbee will be pumped.
2. Wrap a large brick or patio block in duct tape (nothing larger than 8" x 8" x 2") and place on top the pump to help weight it and the cover down.
3. Using a vacuum pole with a pool brush attached, start by pushing or pooling the water on top of the cover to to the pump. More...
Once you get the cover off seriously consider discarding this cover and plan to purchase a new winter cover in the fall.
Consider the following helpful tips to avoid pin holes in your new winter cover:
If excessive weight is allowed to collect on the cover:
The water under the cover will become displaced, resulting in the loss of the chemically treated water in the pool.
Water is very heavy and allowing over 6 inches of water, ice or snow may damage to your cover by streching it.
Extreme amounts of water on top of the cover can pull the sides of the pool in, causing permanent damage to the pool.
If the cover tears, debris from the cover will fall into the pool water and cost you time and money to clean.
Having a spa cover is of course a good idea to keep the hot tub free from dirt and debris. But if you need to get the full benefit from it, you should maintain it properly. Thanks a lot for providing this post which include some important points to take care about hot tub cover. Keep posting more!!
