Swimming pools blog

Hello all.
I’ll soon be investing in a new solid safety cover for my 18 x 36
inground. Any advice on whether or not to get one with the mesh
drain panel as opposed to completely solid and using a cover pump?
I’ve used a mesh safety cover in the past and the water was swamplike
by the time spring rolled around. I wonder if the solid with the
single drain panel keeps the water in good shape? Any experience out
there?
