How to Keep your Pool Covers Clean
Pool covers are used to protect the swimming pool from any debris and other bacteria. Swimming pools must be closed every winter season to prevent it from being damaged due to freezing water and snow. During winter, swimming pools should be drained 18 inches below the skimmers and must also be covered fully. But before putting the pool covers and after it was used, it must be cleaned just like other swimming pool supplies and the cleanliness must be kept. To do this, here are some tips:
- 1. Put a submersible pump in the area of the pool cover that is being submerged in the deepest part of the water.
