Cover Draining: Although the mesh center drain panels of your cover will allow rain water to drain into your swimming pool, they are not designed to drain off every drop of water from your cover. We suggest the use of a concentrated shock treatment along with a winter algaecide and stain treat product. With an IG pool and a cement deck, I think I'll use gizmos even if I find a way to keep the skimmers high and dry every winter just in case. Most pools covered with this type of cover will remain clear until April or May, depending on the weather.

Failure to keep the mesh panel free from leaves and debris will result in improper water drainage from the surface of the pool cover and will cause too much water weight on the swimming pool cover. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.Also, if you have a slide, an auto vac system or a waterfall, you will have to drain and blow out those pipes as well. If there are sharp points that extend into the swimming pool, like step units or “ELS”, then it is a good idea to put rags or cardboard between the cover and the points on the swimming pool which extend out.

I haven't tried the AquaDoors, which sound great, but only if I don't have to lower the water level. If your plug fails and allows a little water in, the antifreeze may be enough to protect your plumbing. If you have tiles, and you do not lower the water level, then if the water freezes, it can expand outwards and actually crack the tiles. If you walk on the cover to get to the panels, make sure you are not wearing shoes with spikes or heels, as this could puncture the cover. I would use them unless you want to be checking the skimmers all winter long to make sure that water hasn't found a way in.If you notice part of the cover falling into the swimming pool, pull it up and properly reset it right away to prevent damage.
