Sun2Solar Blue 24 ft Round Pool Solar Cover | 12 Mil | Heat Retaining Blanket for Inground & Above Ground Swimming Pools | Sun's Energy Heats Pool | Bubble Heating Blankets | 1200 Series

In the past I have used solar covers that are the traditional blue and was curious to what the difference would be between blue and clear. In my opinion the clear heats up the water to a deeper level than the blue. The blue heats the top few inches and when you get in water mixes up and water below gets warm. The clear does not get the top inches as warm as the blue but heats the water at a deeper level with the overall effect of warmer water. The dimensions were perfect and I did not need to trim. The thickness of the cover is excellent and and will do a grea job and will last many seasons of use. I live in New Mexico and being at such a high elevation we have high UV rays and see a quicker deterioration of plastics exposed to the sun. In the past I have had solar covers of varying quality and have had some that break down and plastic pieces get in the water and in your filters and cause expensive repairs and extra maintenance. This cover is such superior quality that I can just tell from experience that it will last a long time and will be able to use year after year. Yes there are cheaper options but they are inferior in not just materials but function as well. So anyone debating if they should spend a bit more on this brand I highly recommend paying the extra because the quality is so much superior it will save you money in the long run. This is one item that you don't want to skimp on.

Shipping was quick. Fit our pool perfectly. Attachment to the pole was simple. Did require two people, but was easily done with the both of us.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: a big hassle to put on and off and still trying to come up with a better way to improve my cover reel. . However it is for sure worth the hassle as it definitely helps the pool temp. seems good quality time will tell. when this one starts to fail i will definitely buy another. also it does help keep the pool cleaner until i remove it then all the crap from the cover falls in the pool.

Good quality, durable but not so durable that it’s difficult to fold and maneuver around the pool. I live in western ny, I keep this cover on my pool from may-September and only take it off to swim or vacuum the pool. It blocks a lot of debris from getting in and significantly cuts back on water loss from evaporation. I’ve so far used it for 2 summers and it still looks new……Also, I have an 18’ round pool, I ordered the 18’ round cover, there’s about an inch and a half of overlap that can easily be trimmed off. I did not, I found that the overlap helps keep the cover from spinning when the pump is on and makes it so the debris can’t sneak off the edges and go right down into the pool. The only drawback is that when it rains the rainwater has no way of draining down into the pool and just sits on top. I have to either scoop it off or skim through it and clean out as much crap as possible before pulling the cover up on to the deck allowing it to drain off into the pool . Either way, it’s a good cover and also does help a bit with heating and retain heat overnight and on chillier days. It won’t perform miracles in that aspect but you can definitely feel a difference.

Works great. Helps raise water temps in the spring and keep it during the night.

This cover is great! I did a lot of research as to what colors and styles to buy. This was purchased to replace my older solar cover. It’s light weight, and a bit bigger than my 24’ pool surface which is great! My old one was too small and didn’t cover the whole surface! Just a few inches trimmed and I get total coverage which helps keep out the debris from the yard as well! My pool has already warmed 6° in a few days, and I only have sun on the pool for half the day. I live in New Hampshire, and the weather really doesn’t get hot enough to heat the pool without help, and this also keeps the warm water from evaporating during the night when we cool down to about 60°! My only complaint is that two of the seams were coming apart as soon as I got it out of the package. Again, probably just due to its size, and easy to fix with some Gorilla Tape! Overall very pleased with the product and how quickly it was shipped! This will definitely be my pool supply store going forward!

After 4 months the bubbles started to fall off and get into my filter. It’s now six months and the bubbles are falling off so rapidly that it can’t be used. No tears it’s thick and it really does keep the water warm. It’s very helpful in keeping the pool clean as well. Not so user-friendly when you try to remove it and not dump the debris on top back into the pool. I feel there should be a one year return policy for an exchange if the bubbles peel off to compensate for its price.

Purchased this a couple years ago and it works. I think I got 6 more degrees outta using it so I would recommend.

Was expensive and find it works the same as a cheap blue cover.
