I purchased a 24' Above ground pool to help with my rehabilitation from a total hip replacement. The pool is heated by a gas heater because I live in Pittsburgh PA and as you all know it can get "cold" up here. I need to buy a new solar cover to keep the heat in at nights. I was looking at the Magni-Clear Solar Covers but I have no idea really what is best for me. It runs about $110.00 for a 12 mil. The problem is I'm not real strong and I'm afraid it might be too heavy for me to get off and on? Also I don't have lots of money because I'm on disability right now... Does anyone know a reasonable place to buy the stuff I need and also the chemicals. Also, I need a new winter cover and a pad for underneath my wedding cake steps ... any suggestions? I'm so confused and I'm trying to save as much money as I can but I don't want to sacrifice quality. I need this stuff to last! I'm sorry for being such a pain in the behind but you guys seem to know so much about above ground pools and I'm pretty lost.
