OG swimming pools have become increasingly popular.
If the cover is kept on for long periods due to adverse weather conditions, is there a risk that bacteria can build up due to condensate on the inside of the cover similar to that of a cooling tower / tank.
I have the impression that owners of those d.i.y. pools may not be fully aware of the implications of effective hygiene controls if they dont follow a manufacturers guidelines.
