Title: Cover chemical smell?
Post by: Zep on December 31, 2008, 10:49:58 am

It's not a huge problem but when I open my cover there is a stronger than
should be smell of chemicals.

I don't over-do chemicals, if anything I under-use chemicals preferring to just dump my water more often. So I know it's not me putting to much chemicals in.

I thought it was the water, so I have drained and filled a couple of times lately.

I've come to the conclusion it's not the water, it's the cover that smells of chemicals.

This cover is only about 1 year old.

Is this normal?

Is there a way to reduce the chemical smell a cover retains?

Would turning the inside part of the cover towards the sun on a couple
of pretty sunny days help?

Any feedback appreciated.

Is it a musty smell?  Clean with mild chlorine bleach solution.   :'(
