Hello Rick, could you please tell me more about your cover? Do you possibly have pictures etc.? We are starting work in our outdoor area in the next 2 to 3 weeks and until then I need the final measurements of my pool (we are also planning infinity – as mentioned in my thread but under different commercial conditions ;-) ) I think this whole thing strongly depends on the cover. Many thanksWe have an infinity pool. Therefore, a sliding roof was not even up for discussion. I also don't like the look of it and you need a place to slide it to. Still, it makes sense to have a cover on the water. Our advantage is that we hardly have any biomass entering the pool. I simply open the (floating) cover. The few leaves then end up in the pool. I either remove them while swimming or the robot takes care of it. If there is a lot of material on it, you can also remove it with a leaf blower or garden hose (it then falls over the edge). The polycarbonate covers are easy to clean with a pressure washer or a brush. That's enough once a year. It is important that they are always in the water or protected from light. Ours is a polycarbonate solar cover that is rolled up into a hidden pocket underwater. So nothing is visible. I would do it again anytime. Even the covers that were several years old looked great. The cheaper PVC covers are more problematic and vulnerable. Even with minimal care, you will enjoy a polycarbonate cover for a very long time. The rest of the pool requires more effort (even if most of it is automated).
