Worth the money, light enough to remove by myself. Keeps the pool warm and debris out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great so far!

Great product so far. I've used it for a few week now. Feels flimsy but it's working. Warmed up the pool water by about 6 degrees in about 12 hours. It kept the water warmer than the air temperature while with the cover on.

Have had several of these covers. They don't make heat for your pool but if you have a heater they help retain heat overnight. I tried need to fit my 14ft pool. Helps keeps leaves and such out too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have
Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2024
If you have an above ground or inground pool these are a must have. you dont have to go through all of the issues of putting your main cover on. It is very easy to put on and off it just floats on the water. It does help heat pool. Notice not as much water loss when its really hot. and keeps dust and debris down If you can get one that's a foot larger than what you need. 18' foot pool get a 19'/20' foot cover. This is pretty heavy duty I have taken it off and on many times yet to tear or rip anywhere

Great product. It does start to disintegrate after a few seasons, but worth it. We only use it in the spring months to keep the leaves, bugs & debris away before the summer begins. ????????‍♂️????????☀️.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Investment For Any Pool Owner!

We absolutely love this! It not only helps to keep out the leaves and grass clippings, but the water is so warm -- it feels like bath water. We got this for a 15 found around above ground mushroom pool. I can easily remove it, and put it back on once the kids are out. It is well worth the price!

3.0 out of 5 stars Works very well until he started falling apart after 3 months.
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2021
Update. After three months of use it is falling apart. Unlike previous solar covers I’ve had before. I called and they only offer a 90 day warranty. Unfortunately I purchased in May but didn’t start using until July. In text stand by their 90 day warranty so apparently they only expect these pool covers to last three months.

This is a nice cover for the price. It works very well for heating up pool and keeping debris out. It’s important for maximum results to run your pump so the water circulates so you just don’t get hot water just below your cover. On particular hot days you plan on swimming. Good idea to check and be sure water not getting to warm to not get the benefits of cool water on hot day.

I do wish this cover was a little thicker. This is second pool cover I ordered but first one by intex. I don’t see this one surviving more that two seasons. I would replace over winter or it will breakdown in pool water. You can wash and store. Also because it thinner it is not as easy to fold as you remove from pool. I like to fold in a way that makes it easier to slide back on. But being on the thinner side, noticed not as easy as the thicker one I ordered from home improvement store. Also this one does have some water flow holes. I don’t like that as it will allow some dirty in. But so far not a big problem. Just other had no holes so so no fine dirt got it. I ordered mine purposely bigger as seen in pictures so I can control surface dirty water from sliding into pool when removing. The holes just mess with this thought process as if any dust on cover and water gets on top during removal it can wash into pool water. But not do big if deal.

But all and all for price and that it works I would buy again! As end result of a floating solar pool cover makes it worth the purchase. I would have given five stars on durability if it was a little thinker. But very happy with purchase. If you are thinking of getting a cover and this is in your budget, it’s a fine choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars So far so good
Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2024
Bought this four our 18in round above ground pool. So far it is good, easy to use, warms the pool. Every year we have to buy a new one, as the bubbles deuterate from the chemicals. Hoping this one last more than one season. This is the first one we have that has an enforced ring around it, that seems nice and more durable
