Review on Sun2Solar Clear 16-Foot Round Solar Cover 1600 Series Heat Retaining Blanket For In-Ground And Above-Ground Round Swimming Pools Use Sun To Heat Pool Water Bubble-Side Facing Down In Pool by Franklin Richardson

This is super thick and doesn't seem likely to shred like my last one. There is only one layer, so if (like me) you have a cover that separated and allowed algae to grow between the layers, then you will be very happy with this. Yes, I suppose it's heavy if you're trying to move it with a bunch of water on top, but I have not had any problems with my weakling arms. You sort of have to fold it instead of crumpling it. It's stiff material, thick and sturdy.On it being clear: it warms up my pool very quickly on hot days, and loses heat just as quickly on cool days. Don't worry - it heats right up again when it's hot. Also, I use liquid chlorine bleach instead of pucks and immediately noticed that I had to dump bleach in every day rather than once a week with my old blue cover. But the old blue one was literally disintegrating, had algae problems, and was only on its FIRST summer, so only had a couple of months use. I love this cover, but I do now sort of wish I got a blue one ONLY because I use liquid bleach and the UV is burning it up quickly. But bleach is cheap. This cover is *really* nice quality and I'd rather have a clear one of good quality than a blue piece of junk that contributes to algae blooms and sheds flakes of plastic everywhere.
