What customers say
Customers highly value this solar cover for its immediate performance, noting superior heat retention that extends the swimming season. The material feels substantial initially, effectively reducing water evaporation and chemical use. However, the primary concern revolves around durability and perceived value. Many users report that the extra heavy duty material degrades prematurely, with bubbles becoming brittle after only one or two seasons. This short lifespan conflicts with expectations set by the premium price and heavy duty labeling. Additionally, the substantial weight makes handling this large cover cumbersome without a reel system. While performance is excellent, the longevity does not consistently meet the multi-season resilience customers anticipate.
