Review on 12X24 Rectangle Solar Pool Cover With Grommets: Heat Retaining Blanket For In-Ground And Above-Ground Pools, Bubble-Side Down - Sun2Solar 1600 Series Bundle by Angel Yergeau

This review is being made during 2nd season of regular summer use, May-August.The first year of use it was ok, it didn’t heat water as we had hoped but after several weeks the water finally was warm enough to swim. It does help keep heat in water once water is heated up from the sun.Now to 2nd season use. Mind you this solar cover was stored inside garage after being cleaned and and dried fully after the 1st season use.We got it out and could tell a difference in it from the prior year, just felt less durable is all I can think to explain. After about 1 month of use into 2nd season, we started noticing the bubbles were denigrating! We had a filter screen full of plastic bubble pieces. It just continued to get worse. Then it started ripping in several places!So just know this product is fine the first pool season, if you only use 2-3 months, but after that you might as well just plan on buying another one.
