Center Seam Split Apart After One Month, BUT Did Work for One Month

The center seam split apart after one month of use. No response from Sun2Solar as of now. The cover appears to be of thick durable material. It was easy to put on pool and is easy to roll up using the roll bar I ordered to go with it. I do need to put my foot on one end of the base of the bar to keep it from tipping when rolling up. I would recommend, but the center seam split apart after one month of use.

Pros
  • It heats the water up very good
Cons
  • Cannot be used on square or round pools

Seams were not sealed, there were 3 seams rather than one down the middle, like we had with Blue Wave Solar Panel. We just were trying to get away from the "clear" cover due to the wind and dust in our area. The seams fell apart before we could even get it onto the pool! I would avoid this brand, and hope you do the same. Good luck if you do purchase, and it seems they have to have pictures for a return. Well put that on the bag then! Durability is a zero stars, but I had to leave a star. I am…

Pros
  • iTS A LIGHTER VERSION THAN I am used to buying but
Cons
  • Not suitable for pools with unique shapes

So Far So Good on my review.

Nice cover and great price. Previously used the heavier gray one but it only lasted a season and a half and it was double the price. Hope this one makes it through a couple of seasons. Came cut perfect to size of pool which is greatly appreciated and helped warm the pool up nicely once the sun came out for a few days. Will update at the end of the season as to the wear of this cover, but after 6 weeks - so far so good!

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Tedious process of measuring and cutting to fit oval pools

I chose the blanket because of the photograph. The photograph was unlike any the competitors small bubble rap style photographs. When I received the blanket, it looked like all of the other competitors blankets with small bubbles and NOTHING LIKE THE PHOTOGRAPH. It looks like thicker standard shipping bubble rap. Also, the blanket arrived with all of the small bubbles looking semi deflated- So, nothing like the photo of what appears to be fully inflated flat topped bubbles.I contacted the…

Pros
  • I really like the solar cover, high quality, very durable and the price was right
Cons
  • Cannot be used in conjunction with other pool covers

Lifetime supply of bubble-wrap

I bought this primarily to preserve water and keep leaves out of my pool. It did neither. Perhaps this works ok with a small pool, but with my 15x30, "kidney bean" shaped pool, it was rather useless. Even a light breeze bunched it to one side. Also, filtering equipment / skimmers could not operate with this covering the pool. Given the size, it is extremely difficult to manage and fold or roll - it took me 30 minutes to get it folded and rolled. Given it's bulk, I would consider it a hazard to…

Pros
  • Increases pool safety by providing a cover when not in use
Cons
  • Heating may not be consistent throughout the pool

Really heats the water!

Kids have been complaining for years the pool is too cold. After a few days using this cover it's almost too hot. It's doing a very good job. Keeps the bugs out, too. It's not too heavy, the kids can put it on and off by themselves.

Pros
  • Parts & Accessories
Cons
  • The product may not fit properly onto the pool

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very happy with this purchase.

I've had this cover for about 6 weeks. So far I love it. It warmed up my pool faster than any other cover and the light weight makes it easy to remove myself. Let's hope it lasts. Very happy with this purchase.

Pros
  • Works great and looks good. Just a bit too long for our pool.
Cons
  • Only available in one color

Poor quality! in my review

We received this Solar Blanket on Friday 5/15 I put it on the pool the same day and today 5/19 the seams are already coming apart. We will be requesting a full refundThey were real fast to ship out a replacement but as we unpackaged the Solar Blanket received 5/29 we noticed the seams were coming apart before we even got it out of the bag. At this point we don’t want another replacement we want a refund. This is a total pieces of garbage.

Pros
  • Perfect for use in areas with consistent sunlight
Cons
  • May require additional maintenance and upkeep to prolong the lifespan

Great solar cover! good for me

Great product! Very durable and it warmed my pool up quickly. I will say we have been having 90 degree weather but before I put the cover on, the water would not warm up. Of course it also great with keeping the debris out.

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
  • May not work efficiently for larger-sized pools

Good but could be Better

Seems robust enough although too early to know it durability. Not sure why it can't come 15ft X 30ft Oval. It is oversize and needs to be cut down, must assume not all pools are made alike but a pain to try and trim it just right so it lays flat. So I give it Four Stars as didn't expect so much trimming and it is still not as flat as would like it.

Pros
  • 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.
Cons
  • May not work well in areas with high humidity

Low cost.low quality

We bought this cover back in April, preparing for the upcoming swim season. We put the cover on the pool in mid/late May. As of now, the cover is separating at all seams. The glue used doesn't seem to be holding it together. I hope this is just an anomaly. I called customer service and they were very responsive, asking me to send a picture of the seam issue and they would send a new one. That was weeks ago and still no replacement. I tried calling but they do not answer the customer service…

Pros
  • Lightweight design allows for easy storage
Cons
  • Bubble-side may become cloudy over time

Perfect fit. No trimming needed.

This was a permit fit for our pool. So nice not to have to cut a rectangle into an oval like most others required you to do. Thanks for attention!

Pros
  • Should work just fine. Happy with thickness of materials.
Cons
  • This Is very thin will be lucky to get the whole season from it.

Was a bit larger and had to be cut

Cover seems sturdy and a bit heavier than the old one so it should last longer. As usual it had to be cut to fit but I haven't purchased on yet that didn't. It get a bit heavy when water lays on top but it doesn't have drainage holes so it's understandable.

Pros
  • Easy to clean and maintain
Cons
  • May not be compatible with all pool filter systems

Makes my above ground 10 degrees warmer

Had one for my in ground, worked pretty well. Now have a temporary above ground… wow! Like surface it hot water after being on a day, mix it up and my pool is 85+, great for anyone that doesn’t want to ease into the water.

Pros
  • Easy to install and remove
Cons
  • Product may be prone to punctures

One season use- durability terrible!

Lasted one season, then ended up with the little blue disks in my pool, this is my second cover in 3 years from this manufacturer, was hoping to get two years out of this one, but not happening. Yes, my chemicals are balanced.

Pros
  • This cover has worked well so far. I made a tube to roll it up on for easier removal
Cons
  • Requires manual removal from the pool

WAY OVER PRICED. I expected this to be good quality for the price. I think this company is "price gouging" due to the pandemic which is very unethical. Low quality. The sides aren't straight. Very wavy. I expected to have to trim the ends like on other covers but this is just lazy poor quality.

Pros
  • Fit perfect, nice and light, easy to take on and off.
Cons
  • Unsuitable for pools with strong currents or water movement

Will buy again good for me

One of the best covers purchased in 30 years. 2 seasons and still holding up well. Seldom do covers last more than 2 seasons around here and that includes expensive models

Pros
  • Fits pool nicely.
Cons
  • May not work well in areas with high winds

Seams come apart. best in my review

Edited review: contacted customer service about seam separation, they responded quickly and offered a refund or replacement. So increased rating based on great customer service.Original review: Had the cover 2 days, have not even cut it to fit the pool, and the seam is coming apart. Very disappointed. The reason I gave it 2 stars.it did help raise the pool temp about 6 degrees in those 2 days.

Pros
  • Excellent quality. Fit my pool well. Just had to trim it a little bit.
Cons
  • Bubble-side may become discolored over time

Great value for what I consider a necessary pool accessory .

This cover raises the temperature of our pool by about 5 degrees on a sunny day and keeps it from losing heat overnight. It is heavy enough to be durable and last for years but light enough that I can take it off and on by myself. It arrived very quickly (did not have Prime when I ordered it). Great value for what I consider a necessary pool accessory if you live up North like me.

Pros
  • Works pretty good
Cons
  • The product may not last more than one season
