We have always had to buy a new cover, every Autumn for the pool. By the time Spring comes around, the covers have rips, tears and are not worth saving. We bought this Autumn 2023 and took it off the pool, May 2024. This is the first cover that we were able to put away for another season! We will be putting back on the pool Autumn 2024. Happy that we don't have to buy another one!!

Keeping up with pumping water off is kind of annoying but I think it will be worth it not having to deal with a green swamp like we would with a mesh cover. Using a pillow in the center makes pumping water off a LOT easier. Do not drain too much water because this cover is meant to sit ON TOP OF the water! Do not pull it tight! We only drained about 3-4 inches below the skimmer and returns. The lower you drain the water at closing, the more stress you’re putting on your pool’s walls when the heavy rain and snow comes! It is a solid cover so it is NOT necessary to drain so much water like you would with a mesh one. Quality is mid at best, I suppose. It is pretty thin and flimsy but slightly better than just a regular old “tarp”. I plan on only using this for this season since it was cheap and buying another one for next closing.
Overall, I recommend this cover if you can find it for cheap and don’t have high expectations. Forget about the 8 year “warranty”. This will last 2 seasons at best — maybe 3 if you don’t get a lot of heavy winds or rains. It is pretty thin and looks like it could rip easily. It has stayed on and has exceeded my expectations thus far. I will update this review when I take the cover off in late March/early April and let y’all know how it did! So far, so good!
SPRING UPDATE!! Cover lasted all winter up until opening in early April! Never blew off, never ripped, excellent value! I will be buying another one when I close this season since the price is so good. Buy it!
