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: GOOD QUALITY, CLEAR, EASY TO FIT TO POOL - We ordered the clear so we could see what was going on in the water below. It was easy to cut it to size; I layed it on across the peanut-shaped pool, marked the edges of the pool with a blue non-toxic felt-tip marker, then cut with scissors. Had to trim up a few places that were not laying flat on the water, but it was very easy to shape it to the pool. Our only problem was that when removing it, it gets dirty water on top and is very heavy. So this spring we decided to cut it in half to make it easier to handle. It works well and husband and I can each take a side and walk it to the end. You get some leaves falling through where we cut it but they are easy to scoop out. It does a good job of warming the pool but we have trees so lots of leaves landed on top and made a mess during the fall. Our pool man said it would not help in the winter and would not let the skimmer do it's job of sucking in the leaves, so we removed it to make it easier to clean the pool. When spring arrived we put it back on and it brought our pool up to 85 degrees in a few days of warm 90 degree weather. The air temps cooled back down to normal but the pool remained fairly warm, around 78 degrees but too cold to swim for me. We are happy with it and it seems quite heavy duty compared to the blue covers we saw at the pool stores for quite a bit more money. To store it, we fold it in 2 halves and place in the center of a large brown tarp, cover it with the tarp and weight it down to keep it out of the sun. We expect it will last a few seasons in the AZ heat if we keep it covered , but you never know.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product
*by T***A on April 24, 2026*

In Exactly 4 years it started to sink the bubbles didn’t hold it up anymore. But for the price for 4 full years it was a good investment. We are going with a blue one this time because they say they keep the water warmer overnight than the clear ones.
