10' Solar Pool Cover

This was a very cheap, lightweight version of other solar covers I've purchased. Began deteriorating after first month.

This solar cover is excellent. I had read some bad reviews so I had my doubts. But we were completely satisfied. I know we will get at least one more season out of it because it still looked new when we took our pool down. For the price, I wasn't expecting it to last several years. If I get 2-3 years out of it, I will be happy!

This cover is as thin as the cheapest shipping bubble wrap and feels about the same. Just putting it on for the first time it felt like it was going to rip. Also, I bought an Intex one last year that only lasted one season unfortunately and it is at least twice as thick. It is so thin that the pool outlet jet moves it and prevents it from staying in place on the surface without moving.. Please do not waste your money on this one. This must cost maybe $10 if that in materials and is definitely not worth the price. Buy a thicker one that will last at least a couple of seasons.

So this is a you get what you pay for thing. I give it 4 stars because it worked and was cheap. But I will say it is thin and I don’t expect it to last more than 2 years. So if you need a cheap solar cover to a temporary pool that you may replace in a year or two, this is great. If you want something to last, look in a much higher price range.

Quality control or lack thereof, not a perfect circle, irregular cut leaving gaps between the cover and pool. Pulling it tight to flatten it out leaves irregular amounts of excess material. Looks cheap.

This solar cover heats up with the water! We had been using a black tarp on top of the water but it only warmed about 4” then freezing cold. This cover has warmed up all the water to very relaxing temperature. Love it!

It’s not the most durable cover, but it warms it up, which is what we bought it for

I updated my score to two from three. The moment the pump came on the cover bunched up exposing much of the water. I had no problem with the Intex. Last year, I purchased the Intex solar cover, which lasted a little over a year before ripping, and I will repurchase it next time. This cover is less substantial and feels lighter and thinner. Let’s see how long it lasts in the hot Texas sun.
