    Rain water above cover
    Hi,
    We will open our pool this weekend. It is an inground pool with a cheap version cover. There is rain water accumulated on the surface of the cover. Can we pour that accumulated rain water back into the pool to save water?

    Most folks pump that water to waste because its most junk and leaves. If you allow it into your pool you aren't saving a fortune on the water bill but you now have an entire pool full of cloudly water and in need of treatment.
