Pool Guy,
You must have lungs of steel, or you've never tried it.
My cover gets water, leaves, and droppings from birds and
squirrels that visit frequently.
No way am I getting that water in my mouth.
Sounds like a good way to get Hepatitis.
So, I disagree, it's not gross, it's dangerous.
Oh, I've tried those pumps that have a plastic bellows.
They don't work.
Spring for the electric pump.
