We are new owners of an above ground pool. The salespeople at the place we purchased the pool from have not been very helpful. I just called to ask why we did not receive our cover with the pool. The man told me we would receive it at the end of the season. I said then, well, we have to purchase a cover for the summer then? He said no, you do not cover the pool in the summer. Is this true? Are you supposed to leave it open during the summer? When I was a kid my friend's family would cover the pool every night in order to keep it clean. I am baffled. Thanks in advance!

You don't have to cover it, in fact it's best if you don't. This gives the water a chance to gas off the combined chlorines as they are oxidized.
Feel free to drop me a line at robandliz1992@yahoo.com and I'll give you some more information on maintaining your pool, the chemistry involved, the adjustments and how to make them, etc. Please include the gallons size of the pool, filtration system, chlorination system, and any chemicals you have used in the last couple weeks. Also, if you happen to have a water chemistry analysis done on the pool water recently please include the results.

Get a solar cover to cover during summer time. This keep water warmer and dirt out of the pool.. I just push the cover to the side and flip it out. All dirt comes out and no pool vacuuming is needed...
You also save some chlorine as the cover will reduce the amount of that stuff from evaporation. Save water too as less of it is evaporated...

There are pool covers and there are solar covers. Pool covers are for extended non-use. Solar covers help warm the water and also keep a certain amount of dust and dirt from getting into the pool. It also saves on chlorine usage which normally evaporates. I have had solar covers on both my pools and it saved me money.
