Nothing to keep clean. As a matter of fact the cover keeps the pool clean.

YA, you just roll them up, and roll them back out. OR you can use the leaf
blower to blow the loose stuff off before or during the roll up process. If the cover weren't there, those items you mentioned would be in the pool. -- Steve Barker "mm" wrote in message ...

isopropyl alcohol 80-90%.
The alcohol is just a solvent for the active item: octadecanol aka stearyl alcohol, greasy stuff used as a cosmetic base. Kind of like "pouring oil on the waters". |

Does this mean that one woudln't have to put on skin oil after swimming. I'm not talking about sunburn protection, just oil that some peopel use. Otherwise, might not be so good, depedning on how much there is. |
