Sun2Solar Blue 16 ft x 32 ft Rectangle Solar Cover | 800 Series | Heat Retaining Blanket for Rectangular Inground & Above Ground Swimming Pools | Use Sun to Heat Pool | Bubble Heating Blankets

This is my 2nd Pool Solar cover. It lasted 5 years and started to fall apart. So I bought another one. Between the sun and the chlorine of the pool, it takes a beating. I also have the roll up device for this cover. You simply take the solar cover and place on top of your pool (bubbles down) and cut it to the shape of your pool so it lies directly on the water. I have the one end attached to my roll up device and it's so each to roll it up and pull it back out. I usually put it away with tarps and bungee cords for the winter to keep it nice. I'll put my new one together spring of 2024. It really makes your swimming season longer. I live in Concord, CA so it gets pretty hot here. 90s and 100s all summer. With the solar cover on my pool is like a bath tub...89 to 96 degrees.

I bought this pool solar cover and received it on the first day of June. Delivery was quick as expected, the cover seemed new when opened. It was easy enough to cut to the shape of my pool despite being a very large cover. It raised the temperature of the pool about 8 degrees above normal. Our pool is in a windy location, but the cover, once cut to the shape, was not moved by the wind. The cover reduced the evaporation nicely. I only needed to refill the pool half as often.When we first started using the cover, we could immediately see that the material was very thin and flimsy. This made taking it off easy since it was light, but it could not withstand much use. Within a month there were holes and rips in the cover. Also, the bubbles in the cover started popping over time, despite the fact that we were gentle with the cover and the pool chemicals are correctly administered by a professional. By the end of month three there were no bubbles left on the cover. The cover now sits like a wet rag on top of the pool and sinks easily as water gets on top of it. In the photo, the white squares are the patches I put on the cover to keep it together.My pool professional laughed at my cover. He said for what I paid ($200) I should have gotten a much better cover. He said he will buy the cover next year and show me the difference. I think I will go that route with my next cover. He mostly faults the thinness of the material and how quickly it degraded when exposed to the chlorine.So, I would say that this is a one season cover at best.

Good product, good price, but very very thin so much was hard to separate in shipping and getting on the pool.

It seems to be made well, but only expect one season. If you can roll it back daily to limit the sun exposure it should be ok. We had left it on during the day more than usual and it caused some deterioration. We barely made the season. Suggest you get the thicker version.

Great solar cover, easy to put on and take off of pool. Warmed the water quickly.

This is the 3rd time I’ve bought one of these pool covers, and this one is the thinnest one I’ve had. It is cheaper quality but not in price.

So far, so good. I was easy enough to cut once it was on. It definitely helps warm the pool up. We just put it on, so...stay tuned for durability. But love it so far.

I have used solar covers for years. And this company makes good ones. I have found that they don't last (like most people) and I'm okay with that. Against the cost of an automatic cover it's a no brainer. I use the trouble free pool method so I keep my chlorine levels higher. No algae and trouble-free clear water yes, but solar covers lasting that long no.I have bought a 1600 and 1200. They both last me a year and then maybe half. Then they start falling apart and the plastic pieces are everywhere. So I adopted a new strategy. I'll replace them every year. They never fall apart and I never have to worry about drying/storing for the winter. Use it and toss. So this year I went one step farther and decided that as long as it was one year and toss, I'd buy the cheapest one.Uh....no. As soon as I opened it, I could tell it was noticeably thinner than the others. But who cares...only a year. I opened my pool April 25 and it went on that day. August 17 and it's ripping (which no other cover had before this) and the bubbles are disintegrating at an unbelievable rate. It didn't make it a year. Now I just ordered the 1600 in the hope that it will last the rest of this year and next, which I think it will.I live in an area with very high winds, and in the past as long as I threw a couple of used chlorine bottles a quarter full of water on the cover, it didn't go anywhere. This one is so light if the jets were pointed up it was pushed to the middle. In the wind I have to pull it over the edge and hold it down with cinder blocks. I have never had to put bottles on the reel side. This year I have three or four bottles on the reel side as well to hold it down against the wind.Great solar covers, just steer clear of the 800.
