Very thick compared to others and a bit oversized from the ordered size so it’ll allow you to cut it down to fit properly. The oversize is good if you use a solar reel as some of it tents up where it attaches to the reel allowing the extra to fit in the pool perfectly. Some may still need to cut it down, but worth the money.

This is our second one purchasing. It helps warm out pool up for the summer quicker than without and it keeps it clean for the most part. Unfortunately for us they only last about 3 years as they dry out and begin to rip easily. And when water from the rain settles in the top along with the pollen the smell is less than desirable but can be cleaned. Overall we feel this product is the best that is out there at this time. We don’t have a wheel to wind it up so when we get in the pool we just push it back.

Best solar cover I have ever had. It is slightly larger than my pool so this with the sturdiness makes it very easy to put on and remove. The temp of my pool has been maintained so much better than using any previous covers. I do remove it during the hottest part of the day and it increases a couple of degrees, but helps retain heat during. If I recall correctly, I think clear covers might work for the hottest part of the day while blue retains better during the coolest! In Michigan with the cooler nights, I needed the latter.

I bought one for a 30' round above ground pool. It's a perfect fit and low profile so the wind doesn't blow it off. I live in Southern Ohio which can get in the mid 90's in the summer but the evenings can often be quite cool in 60's to low 70's which can take the heat out of the pool. Last year, the max temperature the water got was 82 sitting in dirct sunlight in 90 degree days. Put this solar cover on and the water is in the 90's. Feels like swimming in the Caribbean, no more ball shrinkage getting into chilly water! It allows us to stay in the pool longer when the sun goes down due to the warm water. The cover holds the heat in on chilly evenings, prevents water evaporation & helps keep a lot of debris like leaves out as well. I am super satisfied with this purchase. The cover is light weight and easy to remove and put back on.

...Now it's falling apart. I bought this last year and used it for about three months. Cleaned it off, packed it up and stored it for the winter in the shed. I've gotten about a month and a half use out of it and it's tearing and the plastic bubbles are filling up my skimmer. I know it's not the chemistry in my pool because I'm meticulous about that (I'm even more concerned about the investment in my pool heater). I know these don't last more than two seasons but only one three month season?! Maybe look at other brands first...

In the past I have used solar covers that are the traditional blue and was curious to what the difference would be between blue and clear. In my opinion the clear heats up the water to a deeper level than the blue. The blue heats the top few inches and when you get in water mixes up and water below gets warm. The clear does not get the top inches as warm as the blue but heats the water at a deeper level with the overall effect of warmer water.The dimensions were perfect and I did not need to trim. The thickness of the cover is excellent and and will do a grea job and will last many seasons of use. I live in New Mexico and being at such a high elevation we have high UV rays and see a quicker deterioration of plastics exposed to the sun. In the past I have had solar covers of varying quality and have had some that break down and plastic pieces get in the water and in your filters and cause expensive repairs and extra maintenance. This cover is such superior quality that I can just tell from experience that it will last a long time and will be able to use year after year. Yes there are cheaper options but they are inferior in not just materials but function as well. So anyone debating if they should spend a bit more on this brand I highly recommend paying the extra because the quality is so much superior it will save you money in the long run. This is one item that you don't want to skimp on.

Got this cover mid summer (Buffalo NY). Cover has held up well (looks like new) and warmed the water up a lot, but more importantly helped keep it warm as the nights got cool and or windy. Even in late September the above ground pool (no heater) was in the mid 70's.

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.

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