Review: Not as pretty as the blue color but heats better! - Let me start off by saying I wasn’t expecting much for this cover since we had purchased a blue cover at a yard sale however my wife insisted. I was wrong. When we got the cover it was lighter than expected however much stronger than the previous cover. We read somewhere the clear cover allowed more sun through to heat the water so we decided on clear. The cover was easy to roll out and so easy to cut to our oddly shaped pool size, a pair of good scissors worked fine. Very rugged material that would not tear but easy to cut. Once we got the cover in place the temperature during the day was in the mid 90’s and sunny and dropped to the upper 50’s at night. In two days the pool temp stayed in the upper 80’s and didn’t fall like it normally would to the mid to low 60’s to match close to the night temperatures. We got at least another month out of enjoying the pool. Hope it helps to reduce evaporation also. We had a lot of rain, for Arizona, 5 inches within a week and I was worried the cover might sink however it shed the water over to the edges and back into the pool without a problem. Was not affected by wind either. Two bad thins, the pool service requires us to remove the cover befor they will service the pool so we remove it on the day they come and put it back later. The other thing is one of our dogs tried to walk on it and it held long enough for us to get him. The dog had never went near the pool before so please be careful. Excellent product and would recommend it highly.
Review: I love to swim with my kids now!!!! - I am a cold person. I am the type of person that will go into the hot tub on a 100 degree day. I HATE going in a cold pool! When we bought our house I didn't realize that the pool that we fell in love with did not come with a heater. We had contemplated putting a heater in, which would have cost a fortune, but decided to just bear the cold pool because after the cost of putting in a heater we'd still be paying a fortune to actually run it. We kicked around the idea of a solar cover, but the only experience I had with a solar cover was a friends pool when I was a child. I just remember that her pool was always freezing so I assumed they just didn't work very well. Now we have been in this house for 3 years now and with a 3 and 5 year old we use the pool A LOT!! I started hating my decision to buy a house with a pool because it was always so cold and while my kids didn't seem to mind, using the pool was a dreaded part of my day. Finally I decided it was worth trying the solar cover. WOW, I cannot believe how well it works!! We put it on when the temp was at 75 and the weather was upper 60s-low 70s an very cloudy. It raised to 80 within a couple days. Then we hit a heat wave and after 1 day of it being at 100 degrees our pool is now staying at 90-95 degrees! WE CAN ACTUALLY GO NIGHT SWIMMING!!! No more inching our way in and having to "get used to it". I've never had a solar cover before so I cannot offer a comparison, and we've only had it for 2 weeks so I don't know how long it will last. For your own comparison - our pool is average size but fairly deep (11 feet) and not much of a shallow end. The 95 degrees temp was taken close to the bottom of the shallow end and I feel the water temp is evenly dispersed. Our pool is usually in full sun until about 3 in the afternoon so I can't attest for the effectiveness if your pool is more shaded. Obviously the one downfall of a solar cover is how difficult it is to take off and put back on. We cut it in half, but I think I'll even cut it more. It takes about 5 minutes to put it back on by myself, so it's not too bad. We got a pool box to store it in so it doesn't look awful bunched up on the side of the pool when we have guests over. I plan on putting colorful stickers or some kind of arrows to make it easier to figure out which side goes where. Overall I'm glad we went with this option over a pool heater. It looks ugly, but we take it off when we have company and I would prefer to have an ugly pool that we can use than a pretty pool that I dread going in.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What do we do if we have a warranty claim?  Just started using this in April 2016 and it is already disintigrating in one section.**
A: Go to your account settings and notify Amazon

**Q: What are the details of the 6 year warranty?**
A: "The only things covered under this warranty are delamination and seam failure. This warranty does not apply to damage resulting from accident, misuse or abuse of the product or alteration or modification of the product after your purchase." ...."Purchaser shall pay the following percentage of the manufacturer's list price at time of replacement. 1st year 0%, 2nd yr-35%, 3rd yr-45%, 4th yr-65%, 5th yr-85%, 6th yr-95%. Purchaser responsible forany shipping or handling of replacement". Excerpts from warranty page.

**Q: can you cut this  pool cover to fit or does it have to stay the length that it comes?**
A: Yes it can be trimmed to fit your pool. However, you will probably need to replace it within two years because it WILL fall apart and the company does not stand behind the warranty.

**Q: how much will it raise the temperature of a 16 x 32**
A: Noticeably different I'd say doing it consistently for 5 days or so has raised it at least 10 degrees.  I roll it up in the morning and cover it at night.  Even at current weather (upper 70's in So Cal), I put the blanket on for couple days during evening time, temperature increased.  If you want warmer pool without installing a heater, definitely get it.  Just remember to uncover during the day (or at least during time when the filter is running) and cover it before sun down.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heats up our pool nicely.
*by K***D on December 24, 2025*

We live in Hawaii but do not have a pool heater. I like to keep our pool about 86 and sometimes, in the winter months, we need the pool cover. We have had quite a few of these covers but this last one we can see some of the "bubble" data floating around in the pool after less than one month. I hope this cover does not deteriorate quickly. It does heat our pool up nicely, though. I'll update my review as the months go on.
