What customers say
Customers highly value this pool cover for its exceptional durability and long-term protection, justifying the premium cost. Reviewers consistently praise the robust construction for successfully enduring harsh winter weather, including heavy snow and debris, often exceeding warranty expectations. This strength ensures maximum protection, effectively blocking sunlight to prevent algae and significantly simplifying spring pool opening. The primary drawback noted is the physical effort required; the cover is heavy, making installation and removal a task for multiple people. Additionally, users must manage standing water with a pump. Despite the labor involved during seasonal changes, the consensus confirms superior reliability and substantial long-term value through reduced maintenance.
Know before you buy

No, this is a solid barrier cover designed to keep out debris, leaves, and rainwater. Because it is solid, it prevents contaminants from entering your pool water during the off-season.
This cover is designed to be held in place using water tubes or water pillows, which are placed around the perimeter of the cover on your pool deck. Please note that these weights are sold separately and are required for a secure installation.
The polyethylene material is lightweight and foldable, making it easy to store. We recommend cleaning and drying the cover completely before folding it and keeping it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maximize its lifespan.
The warranty includes one full year of coverage, followed by seven years of pro-rated protection. This means the manufacturer will cover a decreasing percentage of the replacement cost as the cover ages, provided it has been used and maintained according to the manufacturer's instructions.
