20 Foot Round Solar Pool Cover

1.0 out of 5 stars Not what I paid for
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2018

Buyer beware. Product description varies from what you actually get. There 12mil cover I received feels very cheap and thin. When unrolled I see it is a 9mil cover. When I contacted seller they said that they measure differently. Not acceptable.

First this is about 3 inches bigger around then our 18' metal sided round pool. Which isn't a big deal. What I dislike is how hard this thing is to put back on the pool. Everytime it's removed and put back on it doesn't float nicely and ends up with water on top the cover. Our older cover we had for 4 years and it floated easy and was easy to pull across the pool. I could imagine how heavy this would be on a 26' pool. Hoping this lasts as long as my old cover but can't wait to replace this with a lighter option. Wife struggles to take off and put on by herself.

Very happy with the quality price ratio. Definitely extended our pool time and has helped keep most of the leaves out.

This cover isn't so thick as the last one I had, so it's a little lighter. It seems to make a big difference in water temperature...I was able to be comfortable in my pool 2 weeks earlier than with a blue cover. I recommend. BUT... don't do this: I saw on Pinterest that you can cut your cover into 4 pieces so it's easier to handle, which is true. Even though this cover is lighter, it's still a bit hard to handle alone, so I cut it as with my old cover. If there are winds, the cover blows around in the pool and gets wadded up, thus making it ineffective. So much for great ideas, lol!! The neighborhood ducks are happy, it gives them easy access to swim 🤪

Good quality, it fits and appears durable.

Bubbles started popping and prices floating in the water. Then started ripping at seams and where bubbles in had popped. Poor quality and should have lasted much longer.

Really only thing about the product I would say is that it is a tad bigger than an actual 16ft. Otherwise, seems to work as it should.

Just be careful if you leave it on your going to get algae a little quicker on scorching hot days

What thickness pool solar cover is best?

What Is The Best Thickness for a Solar Pool Cover? After testing, we found that any solar pool cover between 12-mil and 16-mil performed best for heat retention. Higher mil solar covers absorbed more heat and were found to be more durable against the sun damage, chemical resistance, and ripping.

Are solar pool covers worth it?

So, do solar pool covers actually work? The short answer is yes. It has been scientifically proven by at least 3 studies that solar blankets help to warm swimming pools. They also help to retain pool heat at night, help to reduce humidity and help to save on energy costs.

Which is a better pool cover mesh or solid?

Mesh covers typically last longer than vinyl covers. I've found the average lifespan for a mesh cover to be 10–15 years. Mesh covers do not need a pump on top because they just let the pool water pass through. Since there's no pump, mesh covers generally require no work during the offseason.
