    1.0 out of 5 stars Light-duty polyethlene cover
    Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2013
    I have a 21' above ground pool so I ordered the 21' cover. The cover is actually 25' in diameter so it fits my pool perfectly with plenty of overhang even with an air pillow underneath it.

    Be aware that you get what you pay for. This cover is made from run-of-the-mill nylon/polyester mesh fabric with a polyethlene coating (the same as those cheap blue poly tarps from the hardware store). I seriously doubt that this tarp will last more than one or two seasons (my previous cover lasted one season and it was made of the same material).

    The "8-year" warranty is very misleading. Year 1 is 100% covered, year 2 is 50% off retail, year 3 is 40% off retail, year 4 is 30% off retail, year 5 is 20% off retail, year 6 is 15% off retail, year 7 is 10% off retail, and year 8 is 5% off retail.

    But, again, this is an inexpensive cover and should get the job done for a season or two. It fits perfectly and I'm happy with my purchase.

    UPDATE 10/31/2014
    =================

    The cover worked well for one winter season. We removed the cover in the Spring, hosed it off, and stored it in our crawl space until this Autumn. We closed down our pool and re-installed the cover about a month ago. We noticed that there was always a layer of water on top of the cover even after we pumped it dry. We just figured it was rain or dew buildup, but after a dry spell there was still a lot of water on top of the cover. We ended up buying another (same) cover and spent a great deal of time siphoning off the water and removing the old cover to install the new cover. While doing this we noticed lots of tiny holes in the old cover which is how the water was seeping on top. We got the new cover installed and everything is good now.

    Bottom line: the cover that we purchased a year ago only lasted one season. We're now on our second cover and we expect it to only last one season as well. This cover is pretty inexpensive so you get what you pay for.

    UPDATE: 09/19/2016
    =====================================
    I've now gone through THREE of these covers. The first two each lasted about two seasons (which, honestly, is what I was expecting). But the third cover didn't even make it through one season. A few months after covering our pool, the weave began to separate and water would leak up through the cover. Very poor quaity in my opinion. Third time's the charm, we will not order this over again.

    This is the best pool cover especially for the price. It’s durable and very easy to put on. It fits as expected and covers everything. Keep your pool covered and clean!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Pool Cover for the Price

    I purchased this pool cover in the 18-foot size, and overall, it’s a great value. The cover fits well and was easy to install. It’s a bit thin but durable enough to withstand a season of use. I was impressed that it stayed in place through some windy storms, doing its job to keep out most dirt and debris.

    One minor issue is that rainwater tends to collect on top, causing the cover to sag a bit. However, with a water pump, you can easily remove the surface water, making it much more manageable. Without the pump, removing the cover can be a two-person job due to the weight of the water.

    Overall, it keeps most of the dirt out of the pool, which is pretty good for the price. If you're looking for a reliable cover that performs well for a season, this is a solid choice. Just be prepared to replace it after a couple of seasons.

    It was slightly bigger than I expected but that was not an issue. The other one had seen better days so needed to be replaced. This has lasted several years now.

    I had been buying covers from ocean state job lot. This one is paper thin and the same price. Unfortunately I didn’t realize how paper thin and flimsy it was until we put it on the pool. Disappointed

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great winter cover!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2024
    We put this pool cover on mid October! We decided to go up to the 28ft round instead of the 24ft that is for our pool! I’m so glad we did because that made putting on so much easier! It came with the wench that goes around the side of the cover and looped through! It’s held up so far and we’ve recently had 7inches of rain! I am going to go out and put some water off today but so far it looks like it’s holding up well and protecting the pool and keeping the water clear! It’s really holding some weight though now! I’ll report back if it looks like it isn’t holding up! But the cover guys!

    1.0 out of 5 stars These are DEFECTIVE.
    Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2024
    This is my second cover bought from this company. My first cover was torn by a relatively small branch falling onto it. The branch was definitely less then 1 inch thick and about 4 ft long and it went right through this cover. I caulked that up to bad luck and a freak landing possibly.

    Bought a replacement last month. I noticed the thinness of fabric in different spots. While laying it out I could see how the light shines through brightly in numerous places. DEFECT #1, the material is inconsistent in density throughout.

    While installing this cover I noticed DEFECT #2, the grommets are not evenly spaced. The gap between some sets is as small as 2.5 feet and as far apart as almost 8 feet. As a result, there are full spaces between the pool posts that are not held down by the tie rope. Leaving a gap that the wind blows up and over the pool edge. This does allow water and debris to get below the cover. ????. But worse, It creates a danger that an animal could get or fall under and drown.

    FIND A DIFFERENT OPTION. You will be disappointed in this cover.
