If you're in Socal, better get one now before a cover is mandated for drought water conservation.Prices will double on these at that time.

I think handling this much plastic and storing it w/o a winder would be difficult. Of course that depends on the size of your pool. It increased my pool temp by 15 degrees in AZ.

I couldn't remember what mil thickness I purchased 9 years ago, so I went with this lower cost option. Judging by feel if this one is 12 mil my old one must have been 14-16 mil. Like I said, that one lasted 9 years, so if I get 3-5 out of this one, I'll be happy. I have an electric heater now, so this is really just for stopping the evaporative cooling and keeping it blanketed at night.

It is large so almost need two people to cover pool. It is durable and has kept pool temperature up.

It does what it's suppose to do, it raises the temperature about 5/7's. I wouldn't go as far as saying 10 though. Still it's enough to extend my swim season. Sturdy. I've had for about 2 months and plan on leaving on for winter season to help keep debris out.

Works great, fits great

So far so goodWarms poolKeeps it cleaner

Sturdy solar pool cover.

Works well, but advertised as oval, came ad a rectangle. Needed to be cut to fit. Otherwise happy with the product.

So far so good on my salt water pool. One install consideration. Pool is 31'x14'. Bought 32'x16' cover. I did not cut down cover to pool size. Allowed extra length of cover to extend up the walls of pool slightly above water line. This prevents the pool water jets from pushing water up pool wall and over cover. In the past an exact 31'x14' size cover allowed water jets to push water onto cover creating puddles of water on cover. Then water evaporated leaving a lot of white salt stains on the blue cover. Now, with cover extended up sides of pool wall there's no puddles and no salt stains.
