Sun2Solar Blue 20 ft x 44 ft Rectangle Solar Cover | 12 Mil

As one who has used pool covers for the past ten years, I can attest that this is an excellent product. I know that your thinking "how is one pool cover better than another?" Two main reasons: One is that the seams are well sealed. I've had covers where the seams started to become unsealed within a few weeks. Second, it is a precise rectangle. That may seem unimportant but for someone who has rolled up a pool cover at least a thousand times, I can tell you from experience that covers that are off by even a couple inches makes the process of rolling up the cover rather tedious and time consuming. This one I can roll up in maybe 60-75 seconds. Rolling up a pool cover is a pain in the first place but if you know you can do it quickly and efficiently then it makes that spur of the moment midnight dip in the pool that much more likely! For those of you on the fence concerning a pool cover, let me tell you the benefits I've noticed. 1. You can heat your pool easier. The numbers I see thrown around of up to ten degrees are for the most part true. Before I started using pool covers, I could hope for a summer time high water temperature of 80-82 degrees. With the pool cover I can keep it at about 85 with ease (too warm for my taste but that's how my wife likes it. I was gone last weekend and when I took the cover off on Monday, the water temp was 90 degrees! I had to keep the cover off for a couple days to get it back to a suitable temperature. 2. It saves on chemicals. Now of course, the higher your water temperature the more chlorine you go through, but with the cover on it keeps the chlorine from leaking away into the atmosphere allowing it to work in your pool longer. 3. It saves on water. The way you heat water is by evaporating it, but with a cover, that evaporating water goes right back into the system. During the summer I can lose maybe a quarter inch of water a day without the pool cover on versus a quarter inch every couple days with it on. In fact the only time that I'm losing water is when I take the cover off to swim. 4. It keeps the pool cleaner. I honestly haven't used the automatic vacuum in nearly a month. I pick up the few leaves that get in by net but I haven't had to clean it in any other way. That in itself is a real time saver. All told, it is a bit of an outlay for the entire reel system and the covers last only about perhaps 18 months at best, but overall I would consider the pool cover system to be one of the better purchases I've made. And as for the pool cover, this one has been an excellent purchase and value. I will surely, 100% buy my next cover from them.

Picked up the 1200 series in March of 2023. It's been on the pool summer 2023 - summer 2025. It does exactly what it's supposed to - maintains and keeps heat in the colder evenings, prevents evaporation in the warm ones. In Northeast Ohio - so this is a short-use season (May through Sept); Just started to notice the blue bubble failure and had my first edge tear during closing. 3 summers is what I anticipated to get out of this. It is not a permanent solution - you will need to buy another. We picked up a cover for it, and I think that made a difference. the prior homeowner left his in the sun and complained they only lasted one season. Note - The 1200 is heavy for a 20x40 pool - buy an appropriate reel. the 1600 is likely overwhelming. I will buy another in the winter of 2026 - this is a no-brainer for us.

This tarp lasted less than a year! The first 6 months worked fine in warming the pool and keeping debris off the pool but it has a short life. I bought this February 28, 2025, and it is disintegrating rapidly. A few of the plastic bubbles started breaking off and going into the pool. After 7 months it became more of a hassle to cover the pool and skimming off the broken off plastic particles than it was worth the trouble of covering the pool. I have not used the cover since then. The photo accompanying this review shows the status of the cover. I would not consider this cover for any length of more than 7 months use. I give it one star rating for longevity

I always had these at my house pools. The color seems to reflect the heat off them, so it doesn't get crazy hot. When sunning in the pool, I usually took to using two of these in a cross formation. I always wanted to keep my arms above water to get some sun, but the single float wasn't wide enough. As far as durability, I think I'd get 2-3 years per float. Durability suggestions: Keep out of the sun when not in use. Avoid letting kids sit on them and slide off the deck into the pool. I had an inground pool surrounded by a square slate edge. Scraping on the hard surface punctures the blue coating on the float, which makes it degrade more quickly. My dogs used to like them too, but sharp nails can also puncture the coating. Responsible use by adults with proper storage will probably get you many years of use out of one of these. A lot of rough use by kids probably means you'll be replacing these every year or two. To be clear - these aren't inflatable. It's foam surrounded by a thicker coating. If the coating is punctured or it cracks from rough use (or just sitting in the sun for days when not in use), the foam gets exposed and degrades more quickly. It's a quality product for sure. Proper use will definitely extend the useful life.

We keep coming back to this same solar cover every time we need a new one. It lasts about 3 seasons before starting to break down and become brittle, and we use it for one more season past that. It seems such a waste to keep throwing away this much plastic, but it makes such a difference. Not so much in warming up the water, but it really helps to prevent heat loss overnight and also saves water by preventing evaporation. It is easy to cut to fit our free form 18x36 pool and works well with a solar reel. We have tried other solar blankets that claim to last longer, but they aren't worth the extra money. Additionally, the extra weight of thicker mil plastic makes the blanket heavy to roll up and makes the reel bend down. This one seems to be the happy medium of longevity and ease of use.

Our clear cover started disintegrating this the second year of ownership. We do use it often to warm the pool in cooler weather along with the heater. I have always taken care of it, like covering it on the storage reel. The seller quickly responded to my warranty claim with a replacement so I couldn't be happier. Update: Seller says I must pay nearly $50 for shipping and handling for replacement cover. I will not submit a payment outside of Amazon due to security concerns which Rufus says not to do. After reading other reviews elsewhere I am very Leary but will report my experience here. Update: My cover was replaced and the seller worked with me quite professionally. I just installed it today. I changed my review to 5 stars from 3 based in this solid customers service in my case.

This product is GARBAGE! It lasted one season. The second season we started seeing the bubbles break and fall apart because of being brittle. It worked great the first year but at the beginning of the third season it was trashed. We never let it sit in recently chlorinated water, reeled it up when not using it and stored it indoors through winter. With a claimed 10 year warranty this is what customer service had say. My last message before advising them I was posting their response on Amazon's Review: Attached are the photos requested. Again, the link below has all the photos for your convenience. It is clearly broken on the seam. I'm not sure what a warranty might be if the product doesn't perform within two years of purchase especially if it claims to have a 8 to 10 year warranty. Their response: We have received your photos, and have had our specialists review them for warranty coverage. Unfortunately, what is shown in the photos is not covered by the manufacturer's limited warranty. This warranty only covers manufacturing defects and does not cover rips, tears, or bubble damage. The manufacturing defects covered would be true seam separation, where the layers that make the seam begin to peel apart from each other, and delamination, which is the separation of the layers that make up the solar cover. As the photos submitted do not show a manufacturing defect, the warranty claim has been denied. If you do have a photo showing one, or both, of these conditions, please submit this for warranty review. Thank you So there's clearly no integrity behind this company's warranty. ...Response from Company... After replying back to the company about how our their warranty coverage was and another request for pictures, I advised them that I had sent 29 photos and they could clearly see the damage. I stated the warranty is useless if it covers things that don't occur. I further stated that I would be spreading the word that they didn't stand behind their product/warranty. The next morning I received an email saying the warranty was approved. I paid the shipping and handling cost for a replacement. I changed my review rating from 1 star to 3. The product ought to last more than one or two seasons. And it should not be such a hassle to make a claim. Either make a better product or acknowledge claims against the warranty. We will see how long this replacement lasts. Thanks though for honoring the warranty.

Warms the water great. Once the sun has been on it for a while to heat the water then I turn the pump on to circulate. I hate cold water. I got my temperature to 94 today. Which was nice in the afternoon when the sun is going down and a slight breeze. You can always add cold water if it’s too warm for you. No one has complained about the temperature yet!!!! Highly recommended Light weight. I thought it would be heavier. I can do myself if I had to but much nicer to have someone help fold back and cover up. I wouldn’t be in the pool without this cover!!! Love it.

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.
