I HAVE to get a cover on my pool since the leaves are starting to fall. I have had two covers in the last four years. Both would catch all the crud falling, but I had to get all that crud off the cover to get it out. My pool is around pecan trees, so it gets a bunch of junk on it. The wind can get pretty tough also. I just really need some advise from someone who maybe has the same issue and has found "The" cover.
