What to do with the water in pool cover?

There are a few different things you can do with the water that collects in your pool cover.

1. Drain the water

First and foremost, you should drain the water to avoid straining your pool cover or damaging the pool or surrounding areas. To do this, you can use a submersible pump or a siphon to remove the water from the cover. Make sure to place the drain hose in a location where the water can be safely dispersed, away from the pool or any other sensitive areas.

2. Use a cover pump

If you find yourself frequently dealing with water accumulation on your pool cover, you might consider investing in a cover pump. A cover pump is specifically designed to remove water from pool covers and can quickly and efficiently drain the water away.

3. Treat the water for reuse

If you have a garden or lawn, you can treat the water collected from your pool cover and reuse it for irrigation purposes. Treating the water involves removing impurities and chemicals that may have accumulated in the water, making it safe for plants. You can use a water treatment kit or a simple filtration system to treat the water.

4. Use the water for cleaning

The water collected from your pool cover can also be used for cleaning purposes, such as washing your car or cleaning your patio furniture. Make sure to rinse off any residual chemicals or dirt from the water before using it for cleaning tasks.

5. Dispose of the water responsibly

If you don't have any use for the water and cannot treat it for reuse, dispose of it responsibly. Depending on your local regulations, you may need to take the water to a designated disposal facility or release it into a storm drain. Make sure to follow the local guidelines and regulations when disposing of the water.
