Sun2Solar Blue 12 ft x 24 ft Rectangle Solar Cover | 1200 Series | Heat Retaining Blanket for Rectangular Inground & Above Ground Swimming Pools | Use Sun to Heat Pool | Bubble Heating Blankets

Good quality, durable but not so durable that it’s difficult to fold and maneuver around the pool. I live in western ny, I keep this cover on my pool from may-September and only take it off to swim or vacuum the pool. It blocks a lot of debris from getting in and significantly cuts back on water loss from evaporation. I’ve so far used it for 2 summers and it still looks new……Also, I have an 18’ round pool, I ordered the 18’ round cover, there’s about an inch and a half of overlap that can easily be trimmed off. I did not, I found that the overlap helps keep the cover from spinning when the pump is on and makes it so the debris can’t sneak off the edges and go right down into the pool. The only drawback is that when it rains the rainwater has no way of draining down into the pool and just sits on top. I have to either scoop it off or skim through it and clean out as much crap as possible before pulling the cover up on to the deck allowing it to drain off into the pool . Either way, it’s a good cover and also does help a bit with heating and retain heat overnight and on chillier days. It won’t perform miracles in that aspect but you can definitely feel a difference.

I bought this expecting it to maybe last one year. With the amount of sun we get, I expected it to break down in a year's time. Purchased in Nov of 2021. It made it through 2 winters here in California, but was done this spring. Losing little pieces of the blue bubbles, and it tore finally.That being said, it did what I needed it to do. It kept dirt out of the pool and kept perhaps a little more heat in during the colder months. It lasted as long as the original pool cover that we had, so I think it was worth it. There's not really other inexpensive replacement covers available for the steel frame vinyl above ground pools from Intex/Bestway etc., so this was as affordable and performed probably as well as anything else would have that I found that would fit our pool (trimmed this to fit an oval shape).Just go into it with the right expectations. If you think this is going to last beyond 1-2 years, you need to reset your expectations.

Was expensive and find it works the same as a cheap blue cover.

Cannot recommend due to very poor quality of material . The seams are already coming apart on day two of use. It is over priced bubble wrap.

Very good… I would recommend it.
