Works good to help keep the water clear

Bought this because I was tired of draining and refilling upon use this way I can leave it set up for a couple weeks at a time a little bit of chlorine keeps it nice and clean and the cover keeps out all the leaves and pine needles and bugs I keep two inner tubes under the cover that way when it rains the water does not cause the cover to cave in I'm very happy with this purchase would buy again in the future

Measuring a generous size, this pool cover seemed to promise durability and utility, and I envisioned many summers of clear, debris-free water. Little did I know that this product would take us on an unexpected adventure that would test its limits and ours in ways we never imagined.First Impressions: Quality and FitOut of the box, the Intex pool cover was a sight to behold. The material felt sturdy, with a texture that suggested it could withstand the elements. It fit our swim center perfectly, creating a snug barrier against leaves, bugs, and other unwanted intruders. The drawstrings were easy to adjust, ensuring a secure fit that wouldn’t budge even in strong winds. As a pool cover, it was flawless, earning high marks in every category of practicality and effectiveness.A Mad Idea Takes ShapeOne lazy afternoon, while lounging by the pool and basking in the glow of our latest aquatic investment, a wild idea struck. There sat my life-like GI Joe, an emblem of adventure and daring. And there lay the pool cover, stretched out like an untapped reservoir of potential. The thought hit us simultaneously: could this pool cover double as a parachute? The very notion was thrilling, combining our love for innovative repurposing with the undeniable appeal of GI Joe in freefall.The Parachute Experiment: PreparationThe preparation phase was meticulous. We carefully tied the corners of the pool cover to GI Joe’s arms and legs, ensuring that the connections were secure yet flexible enough to allow for proper parachute deployment. We tested the strings, adjusting the tension and angles until we were satisfied that everything was as it should be. The anticipation built with each knot and adjustment, as we readied ourselves for the ultimate test of the pool cover’s versatility.The Moment of Truth: DeploymentWith bated breath, we climbed to a suitable height – the top of our backyard treehouse, a towering structure that had seen many childhood adventures but none quite like this. GI Joe, with his determined expression and battle-ready stance, was poised for action. We held our collective breath as we launched him into the air, the pool cover billowing out in a promising display of makeshift parachute potential.Reality Sets In: A Dramatic DescentFor a fleeting moment, it seemed as if our plan would work. The pool cover caught the air, creating a semblance of drag. But alas, our hopes were dashed as gravity exerted its unforgiving pull. The pool cover, while expansive, lacked the aerodynamic qualities needed for a successful parachute. GI Joe plummeted earthward, his descent rapid and unforgiving. He landed with a thud, the pool cover crumpling ineffectively around him.The Aftermath: Lessons LearnedIn the aftermath of our failed experiment, we couldn’t help but laugh at our own audacity. The Intex B008VQWPDK Rectangular Pool Cover had proven itself as an excellent barrier against pool debris, but as a parachute, it was a spectacular failure. GI Joe survived the fall, a testament to his rugged design, but the pool cover’s limitations were laid bare.Conclusion: A Versatile Yet Limited ProductIn conclusion, the Intex B008VQWPDK Rectangular Pool Cover for Swim Centers 58412EP, 1 Pack Multi, is a top-notch product for its intended use. It excels in keeping your pool clean and protected, and its quality construction ensures longevity. However, if you’re harboring any fantasies of repurposing it for skydiving adventures with your life-like GI Joe, you might want to reconsider. Stick to its primary function, and it will serve you well. As for us, we’ve returned to more traditional uses for our pool cover, while GI Joe continues to inspire our flights of imagination – firmly grounded, of course.

The cover was super easy to put on. It's slightly snug but only has two cords on the side to pull for tightness. It was challenging for me to pull the cords tight enough and tie them while keeping them tight. There was also a pin size hole in the cover. It kept blowing off. I ended up putting the tarp back on over it with stakes to hold down. I think this cover would be fine somewhere with a mild climate but I live in the Midwest and it's windy.

I had the same cover but for my old pool which was round and I loved! When I got my new pool I couldn't find the rectangle one so I ordered another brand and it was terrible, cheap, flimsy like a tarp, didn't stay on pool. I was so happy when I finally found this one! It's a game changer! Fits like a glove, does not come off and the material is thick not flimsy like a tarp! I've tried a lot of different pool covers and this is hands down the best one yet!

We bought a blow up pool size 10’x6’ and it fits like a glove! Perfect! I read a recommendation to toss a pool floaty in the middle and I think it’s a great addition to keep it upright. It also feels very warm to the touch so pretty sure it’s helping keep the pool warm too. Highly recommend this. Better than some of the cr*p I’ve seen out there. Worth the purchase if you have a pool this size!!

Pensé que por ser Intex tenía este tema solucionado pero no, este cobertor es de un plástico de poca calidad y hasta empezó a romperse... no lo recomiendo deben de haber otras formas de cubrir tu piscina inflable!

Perfectly fit the swimming pool. The string provided is long enough to tie the cover to the swimming pool. The holes may need reinforcement so they can last longer

I'm about a month into using this cover on a 10-foot pool that looks almost exactly like the Intex one, except I think my pool is the generic brand from a big box store out of Arkansas. I can't know for sure, because someone gave it to me used. Anyway, my pool is on its third--and last--season. I'm sharing this because the pool has become distended and misshapen, and the Intex cover is still doing a really great job covering it. This cover is heavyweight opaque navy blue plastic. I have no problem putting it on by myself, even when my misshapen old pool is full of water. I put the string through the first time, cinched it tight, and haven't undone the string. This lets me stretch the cover onto the pool like a shower cap. I recommend threading the string so the the "under/over" pattern is UNDER at the corners. This will let you stretch the "corner" string down under the corner of the pool.I do think this is a one-season product, and would expect to toss it in the fall. It seems to have photo degraded a little, and I noticed tonight mine has a small tear starting from one edge--but remember, mine is stretched to its limit over my bulbous pool. Anyway, i would buy both the pool and this cover again. I'm using a homemade floater to keep a slow-release small pool/spa chlorine tablet in the water and this cover over the top. The chlorine keeps the water clear and the mosquitos out. The cover helps with mosquitos, too, and keeps out debris. With his combo, you can fill the pool about once a week, depending on use.
