I need some serious help and input!!! We have an above ground 16' x 32' Dough-boy pool. The last 3 winters our winter covers (new each year) have ripped and dumped the contents into our pool, forcing us to drain the entire pool and do some serious cleaning from the sludge (leaves and dirt) that fell in it. This year the cover ripped in January, so we are sitting with a half exposed pool since there's really nothing we can do about it for another month when it warms up for pool season. The PROBLEM is the WIND!! We have put water on top of the pool cover, tight clamps on the south side of the pool where it catches the most wind, but this time the north end ripped end to end. Does anyone have any ideas to how we can better keep the wind from thrashing our winter cover all around?? It gets so bad it takes the water right off the top and virtually throws it at the house. I'm at my wits ends as to what to do for next winter, and would really like to have a plan in place before next fall gets here. We've had this pool since 2006 and hasn't been an issue til these last 3 winters and the wind we've had. PLEASE, if anyone has any ideas, please share them with me! Would be much appreciated.

I'm hoping someone may have had this problem and can lend some advice. As I was pumping the water off of my winter pool cover, I began to notice that the water in my pool was decreasing as well which made me realize that there is obviously a hole in the cover. The water in the pool is about a foot lower than it should be. My question is how I should now go about taking the cover off since pumping the water off of the cover is no longer an option? Should a person get each end of the cover and just pull it towards the other end of the pool? Would filling the pool to make up for the foot of water make this any easier? Thanks.
