Hi - Okay, so I'm feeling very stupid. We just had our brand new inground 20x40 "Lake" shaped pool closed using a winter cover with water bags. I was told not to let water collect on the cover. Ok, that's sounds easy.

It's day 2 of closing and raining. Came home from work and found 3 large puddles on the cover. Got my little pump out and started pumping. 1 1/2 puddles later it started to rain very hard....I stopped pumping.

So - just how much water on the cover is too much?

When the pool was closed they used gizmo's so the water level is about at the middle of the skimmers. It's a tarp type cover for this year until we get our concrete and solid winter cover.

I can just see myself having nightmares through the winter checking the water on the cover.

HELP!!!!! I want to sleep.
