Description of Keep Your Pool Warm: Sun2Solar 12X18 Clear Oval Solar Cover 1600 Series

SAVE ON HEATING COSTS - Sun2Solar clear solar blankets are made from a film of thousands of tiny bubbles, which work together to collect and retain heat in your pool at night and on those chilly days. The clear color allows the sun’s UV rays to penetrate deeper into your swimming pool for warmer water temperatures. Pay less and swim more. MINIMIZE WATER EVAPORATION - The use of a solar cover helps in preventing up to 95% of pool water evaporation. When not enjoying a refreshing swim, keeping your pool covered lessens the vast amount of water lost into the environment. Fill up your swimming pool less and enjoy it more!. HEAT RETENTION - After everyone has called it a day with wrinkled fingers from too much fun in the sun, make sure to place this solar cover back atop the water. Don’t lose all of that warmth generated throughout the day when the sun sets. Assure your pool’s temperature does not drop too much by protecting it at night through use of a solar blanket. JUMP INTO WARMTH - Show friends and family your bravery by jumping in without the standard toe dip. Enter the swimming pool confidently knowing the Sun2Solar solar cover has kept the water warm just for you. It’s easy to put on and take off allowing more time for showing off. TRIM TO FIT - Your pool may be uniquely shaped and getting the right fit is as easy as finding a marker and sharp pair of scissors. Have the bubbles facing down to the water and trace a line on the cover showing where you should cut off the additional material. Do so confidently knowing this won’t affect the manufacturer’s warranty---they understand.

Till working on it.

Im still trying to find the perfect solar cover. Brand is important. mil thickness is important. price is important. Take notes cause you forget. Which one lost all its bubbles in the pool and plugs the catch basket? It was expensive but a bad brand. Another expensive one had one of the 3 fused strips that sunk into the pool it was a heavy mil and expensive. Cheap one lasted one season and weather checked and sunk. GL share what you learn but remember which one it was.

Pros
  • Works great
Cons
  • Garbage wrapping material, doesnt work anyway

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Did not last a full season.

It takes awhile to warm water with sun shining on it but once water gets warm it does retain the heat well. After 1st summer seasons use, product was cleaned and dried, folded carefully and stored inside garage away from heat or extreme cold. For the 2nd summer season it seemed in good shape when we put on pool, however before the summer was over, ( 1 1/2 months at most) it was disintegrating everywhere! Little blue bubble pieces floating around in the water and all in our filter. So it did not

Pros
  • Loved it
Cons
  • So hard to put on and take off. Didn't heat pool.

Nice quality in my review

Can only rate based on what I see from delivery in box as its not quite time to use this on our pool yet. I'm expecting this to much better than the cheapo one that came with our pool package. Will update once we use it :)

Pros
  • It's great
Cons
  • The clear material may make the water overly bright or glare during sunny days

So far we like it. Easy to cut into shape

We need a cover that would fit our unusual shaped pool. Had to do just a little cutting with this oval size. So far we like it. Easy to cut into shape.

Pros
  • Good price and definitely increases the temp of the water. Midwest.
Cons
  • The clear material may not provide enough privacy for pool users

Don’t waste your money

Had this for 4 months and it’s fallen apart, material obviously is extremely poor qualityMy last 2 solar covers lasted 4 and 3 seasonsWhen I contact the seller and inquire about the 7 year limited warranty they said it only covers seam separationShould have stated that or not indicate the warranty in the advertising,very misleading

Pros
  • SAVE ON HEATING COSTS - Sun2Solar clear solar blankets are made from a film of thousands of tiny bubbles, which work together to collect and retain heat in your pool at night and on those chilly days. The clear color allows the sun’s UV rays to penetrate deeper into your swimming pool for warmer water temperatures. Pay less and swim more.
Cons
  • It may not work as well on pools with a lot of curves or bends in the sides

Does hear first 3 inches of pool up. Keeps heat in

Definitely worth the money. Arrived in good condition. Not a lot of fall off from bubbles like others I had. The cover may not be as durable as more expensive options on the market.

Pros
  • The size is a little large but it does the job!
Cons
  • The cover may not be as durable as more expensive options on the market

Product was in great condition when it arrived

I cut out the shape of my pool using the old cover and had no problems with cutting the new one. I was pleased with the product. Time will tell how long it last, but as of right now it was worth the price I paid.

Pros
  • Excellent product. It is much sturdier than other covers I have used. Does a great job.
Cons
  • The clear material may allow algae to grow on the surface of the cover, making it unsightly

I love it. - my new review

The solar cover arrived very quickly, it is very thick, makes a big difference in warming the pool water. I love it. Thanks for attention!

Pros
  • Really works!!! Great product!
Cons
  • It may not work as well on larger or deeper pools

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Definitely helps warm the pool

Definitely works to help keep the pool warmer than not having it. A little difficult to put on and take off by yourself on an above ground pool, but can be done. Easier with two.

Pros
  • Exactly as advertised.
Cons
  • Inconsistent sun exposure may lead to uneven heating of the pool water

Quality Product - my new review

The product is of very high quality and appears it will be long lasting. If is hard to judge how effective the cover is because I have nothing to compare it to regarding pool temperature gain, beyond that, I would recommend this product.

Pros
  • I would say the weight feels quality but my blind grandma could cut a smoother corner
Cons
  • The solar cover can be cumbersome to handle and store when not in use

This cover lasts and is very thick. Revised Review

This pool cover doesn't float very well, when water gets on top of it. It seems the bubbles are not full of air.Pool cover is not oval, but this cover has lasted longer than a lot of other covers.

Pros
  • Great cover. Fit well and keeps the pool clean and warm.
Cons
  • The cover may cause fluctuations in chlorine levels due to trapped chlorine gas

So far exactly what I asked for

So far I have no complaints. It for our pool perfectly without any adjustments. So i can’t tell you how well it cuts or trims. It maintains the heated temp of our pool on stormy days. I no longer use out to heat the pool since we had a heater installed, but it did bring up the temp a bit. I like to swim in really warm water, so not enough for me at the beginning and end of the season. Easy to maneuver with the reel we purchased ( also from Revain). Worth the money so far.

Pros
  • Fit my pool perfect,, love it. Keeps the pool so warm and is great quality.
Cons
  • It may not be the most eco-friendly option for keeping pool water warm

ONLY LAST ONE SEASON

Cover only last one season. Bubbles start to break open leaving 100"s of tiny plastic particles in your pool and filter. Cover rips easily, especially after being in sun after a couple of months. Warranty only covers separation of plastic layers. Which is basically saying there is no warranty.Cover does heat pool about 10 degrees.

Pros
  • TRIM TO FIT - Your pool may be uniquely shaped and getting the right fit is as easy as finding a marker and sharp pair of scissors. Have the bubbles facing down to the water and trace a line on the cover showing where you should cut off the additional material. Do so confidently knowing this won’t affect the manufacturer’s warranty---they understand.
Cons
  • The clear material may warp or bubble in extremely hot temperatures, reducing its effectiveness

Durable pool solar cover, keeps pool clean & warm

Regular pool covers just won't cut it after owning this solar pool cover, everything else is obsolete. This not only will keep your pool clean & fresh looking, it will keep your water temperature up & pool water evaporation down. I recommend this to anyone who owns a pool.

Pros
  • That’s what it supposed to!
Cons
  • It might not stay firmly in place during high winds, leading to it falling off

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Ok for the money. best in my review

Solar cover works ok. I would’ve preferred a thicker one, but this one was ok for the money. Time will tell how long it lasts.

Pros
  • This cover warmed up my pool by 5 degrees. I love and easy to install and remove.
Cons
  • The cover could pose a safety hazard if someone accidentally steps on it and falls into the pool

Good quality for my opinion

It seems to be a good quality pool cover. Happy with the product. It is a bit larger than 12 x 24, not an issue easy to trim to fit.

Pros
  • Perfect in every way,
Cons
  • The clear material may discolor over time, reducing its aesthetic appeal

Nice solar cover in my review

This cover is great. It is strong enough that it won't tear and have to be replaced every season the way that the cheaper ones do. I'm very happy with it. It is worth the extra cost. Usually we would have a couple of small tears by now and there are none.

Pros
  • exactly as expected!
Cons
  • The cover may not remain flat on the surface of the water, leading to an unattractive appearance

Heavy duty.: my feedback

This is the first aftermarket solar cover I have purchased. My original cover only lasted 2 seasons which I feel is ridiculous. I’m hoping this one, which is claimed to last 7 seasons, lasts longer. It is much heavier than the original so I’m hopeful. I have a saltwater pool and do not know if this impacts the lifespan in either direction.….2 years in and the solar cover is literally falling apart putting all of the little round pieces of plastic into my pool…and filter! I bought the heavy duty

Pros
  • nice heavy solar cover
Cons
  • It could be challenging to properly position the cover to maximize its effectiveness and coverage

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product.great value.

Love this solar cover. Added warmth to my pool to get it where I could enjoy my pool earlier in the year. Easy to trim to custom size. Thick, good quality. I researched several of these products and I believe the clear cover definitely allowed the sun to penetrate to the bottom of my pool, as it didn't just warm up on the top layer of water.

Pros
  • Great product!! Thank you!
Cons
  • The cover may not be as effective on cloudy or overcast days
