A pool cover is an important part of the pool. It will keep the pool clean from the leaves and other debris flying around in the air. Often times the cover will also help to heat the pool. The problem with the pool cover is the fact that if it is not taken off of the pool properly and completely, it will become a safety hazard. Because swimming pool safety is so important, you need to make sure that you remove your cover completely from the pool. Even when you are only planning on being in the pool for a short amount of time, people can walk and slip on the pool cover and fall into the water and get injured. Make sure that your pool is safe. Take the time to take the cover off the top of the pool and put it out of the way.
