Can you leave your above ground pool closed for summer with the winter cover on it?

No, you should not leave your above ground pool closed for summer with the winter cover on it. Winter covers are designed to protect your pool from the elements during the winter months, when temperatures are cold and there is a risk of freezing. They are not meant to be used during the summer months, when temperatures are warm and there is no risk of freezing.

Leaving your pool closed with the winter cover on during the summer can cause a number of problems, including:

* The cover can trap heat and moisture inside the pool, which can lead to algae growth and other water quality problems.

* The cover can block sunlight from reaching the pool, which can prevent the water from properly sanitizing.

* The cover can become heavy and waterlogged, which can put strain on the pool walls and structure.

If you want to keep your pool closed during the summer months, you should use a summer cover instead. Summer covers are made of a lightweight material that allows sunlight and heat to reach the pool, while still protecting it from debris and other contaminants.
