Put a 1 1/2 PVC pipe down the middle of the cover . Attach it to the cover with stainless bolts ,nuts, washers. Put an elbow on one end so you turn the pipe. The cover will roll up quickly in the water . I would recommend a thin cover to make it easier to roll
It isn't exactly easy OR hard to remove an above ground pool. It just takes some time and work on your part. You will first need to drain the pool. If you intend to sell or pass the pool onto someone else, you may possibly need to clean the liner. Once the pool is drained, disassemble and move it away from the spot where it was sitting. If you have built a deck, or have rock gardens, flowers, shrubs, etc. around the pool, you will have to disassemble those or move them as well. Next comes removal of the surface your pool was sitting on. Often this is sand, which can be shoveled away. Once the pool is gone, prepare your soil and sow grass seed. It won't be long until you can't even tell the pool was ever there.
I had the same problem. I use a plastic clamp and rope. I clamp the edge of the cover then walk across to the other side of the pool to pull the solar cover over to me'folding it in half then fold it in half again so it is easy to roll up.
It's not possible to add optimizer plus to a pool with the solar cover on. You will need to remove the solar cover from part or all of the pool in order to put optimizer or other pool treatment products into your swimming pool water.
Useless
No
The side of the pool cover with bubbles is the lower side.
when you are in the pool
yes
They are the same thing basically. Pool Cover, Solar Cover, solar Blanket are all used interchangeably. It's basically some material, usually a plastic bubble mesh or vinyl covering that goes over the pool. The exception to this is Winter Cover which generally is heavier and designed to protect your pool during long winter months.
Bubbles down
It is depends on the type, brand and size. It cost about $219 for the 10m x 6m solar swimming pool blanket cover and $512 for the solar pool cover 500 micron series.
Yes. The filter will pull water into the skimmer from under the cover and send it back into the pool through the return line. In fact, when using a solar cover the pool will warm slightly faster if the water is circulating (the solar cover is continuously heating all of the water rather than a just a small layer of already warm water right under the cover). Heat flows faster the greater the temperature difference. Hope this helps...
A pool with a solar cover will absorb the heat faster during the day and when left on the pool over night it will prevent the loss of heat.
Remove the vinyl cover when using a solar blanket to warm the water. If the vinyl cover is used at the same time as the solar blanket, the vinyl cover absorbs most of the heat and then transfers the heat into the air or water between the vinyl cover and the solar blanket. Then the heat transfers to the solar blanket and then, finally, into the water. When this happens, a lot of heat remains in the vinyl cover and air/water between the two covers instead of getting into the water. It is preferable to have the heat absorbed by the solar cover and then transfer directly into the water. Hope this helps... Too much redundancy in pool covers.
