What happens over the course of the Fall, Winter, and early Spring as rain and melting snow accumulate\u00a0on top of your swimming pool’s\u00a0winter cover?\u00a0 If you have a mesh winter pool cover, then that water drains through and should not collect over time.\u00a0 But, if you have a solid material winter pool cover with no drain panels, then the water that accumulates on the pool cover\u00a0has no place to go.\u00a0 As\u00a0water continues to collect, it\u00a0grows heavier and heavier,\u00a0pulling the winter cover out from under its anchors and down into the pool.\u00a0\u00a0Not only does this situation make Spring clean up a headache, but water that collects on the winter cover and freezes\u00a0has the potential of damaging the\u00a0cover’s material.\u00a0\u00a0Using a\u00a0cover pump will prevent these problems.<\/p>\n

Cover pumps<\/a>, which come in automatic or manual varieties,\u00a0are a\u00a0recommended addition to any pool owner’s plan for winterizing the swimming pool.\u00a0\u00a0Attach a standard garden hose to the cover pump and place it in the center of your pool’s winter cover.\u00a0\u00a0The\u00a0cover pump removes water as it accumulates.\u00a0 Additionally, cover pumps can\u00a0be used any place that water accumulates, including basements and boats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
