Questions & Answers about Pool Size 18ft x 33ft Oval Above Ground
Do I really need a winter pool cover?
It depends. Technically you do not "have" to close your pool up or even cover the pool for the winter. You could live in a termporate area in the winter time and therefore you could leave your pool running all year long. If you live in a climate where it is possible that the exposed pipes or the top of the pool water could ice over, you should close your pool and cover it. A winter cover protects your investment by blocking debris that could damage the liner, eliminates leaves and debris that could start to decay and stain the pool or liner, save money on balancing the water chemicals, save money on water loss due to evaporation, blocks UV sunlight that could allow algea to grow since water chemicals aren't being circulated and renewed, and greatly reduces the time to get your pool back to swim ready in the spring time when you open up the pool.

How do I choose the right size winter pool cover for my pool? What is the right size winter cover for my in-ground pool?
You absolutely need to know the size of your in-ground pool. Measure your pool from the inside edge to the inside edge to get the exact length and width (for oval or rectangular pools) or the diameter (for round pools). If you have steps, or swimouts, etc. that extend the length of width from the main part of the pool add those dimension to your overall LxW. If you have an irregular shaped pool (kidney, custom), then you will need to imagine the largest rectangle that will completely cover the pool and that will be your LxW. The LxW that you have is your "Pool Size" and you need to remember it.
Winter covers are sold based on your pool's size, not the cover's actual dimensions. The cover is usually 4-5ft longer and wider than the pool. This usually allows enough cover to float on top of the water in the pool, come up the sides, and have at least 12 inches (1ft ) of the cover to lay flat on the deck and be held in place with water tubes. This is called the "overlap".
Now you can search for a pool cover that is made for the "Pool" size you have. If there is not one for the your exact pool size, then find the next pool size that is larger. EX: if your pool is a 16x32ft pool and doesn't have extra pool steps extending either the length or width, then you will look for winter pool covers for a 16x32ft pool. Now if you have steps on the end of the pool that extends the water past the 16x32ft rectangular shape of your pool by 3ft, then your pool size is now a 16x35ft pool. The next standard pool size they usually make a winter pool cover is 18x36ft and this becomes the cover you should get for your pool. Any extra cover material on top of the deck can be folded up and under the water tubes for a neat and tidy appearance.
(Answered by our BackyardCityPools.com Experts)What types of winter pool covers are available for my Pool?
Here is a list of the most common types of pools covers:
- Solid winter pool cover - (tarp-like polyethylene or vinyl) blocks all light and debris - best at stopping algae growth but requires a pump to remove accumulated water or snow melt.
- Mesh winter pool cover - lighter with drainage built-in; let rain/melt through but block larger debris. Easier to manage, but fine dirt particles and some silt may still get in.
- Leaf Nets - is a light weight mesh cover, usually placed directly over a winter cover, that is used to collect and remove most of the leaves during the fall
- Safety Covers (mesh & solid) - similar to a winter cover but it has a bonus as it is strong enough to prevent children, pets, and adults from accidentally falling into the water. A safety cover is secured tightly to the deck using anchors and springs.
