Winter Wonderland

The snow is falling and over the last week or so it has just kept piling up on the pool covers here at the store.  The big thing to remember with heavy snow like this is to keep an eye on the level of water in your pool.  As more weight pushes down on your winter cover it will force water out of your pool, and in turn add more stress to the cover itself.  If the level of your pool is good you won’t have to worry about it but if you have had a slow leak over the winter you will need to take action.  An aboveground pool is strongest when the water is at the proper level and if your pool level is below half of normal you may want to loosen up your cover.  If the water level is extremely low in your pool you might want to think about dropping your winter cover into the pool.  I know that this is a pain and when you go to open your pool in the spring it will be a mess, but it might just save your pool from collapse.
