Protecting the Pool Cover
Remove the water on the pool cover to protect the cover
The weather in January is very cold in New England. The last thing on people's minds is their pool.

It's important to keep up with the pool even on the coldest of days. In particular, it's a good idea to keep the cover as clear as possible.
A nice clean cover has lots of benefits:
Makes it easy to open the pool when there are no leaves that could fall in.
The cover will last more than one season. We have had difficulty with pool covers ripping because of the weight of water and ice.
Thinking About Summer
Anytime I am out in the backyard with the dogs, I am checking the pool cover. If there's water, and it's not frozen, I manually siphon the water off.
In February it may be difficult to keep up with the water on the pool cover as the weather is much cooler. But I am doing my best now.
