Review on Sun2Solar Clear 10-Foot-By-16-Foot Rectangle Solar Cover 1200 Series Heat Retaining Blanket For In-Ground And Above-Ground Rectangular Swimming Pools Use Sun To Heat Pool Bubble-Side Down by Greg Quinit

We purchased this last September. It immediate contributed to retaining pool warmth overnight. As an example, the weather was stable/same conditions. Our pool had been dropping from 80 degrees at sunset, to 70 degrees at sunrise. With the cover, temps only dropped to 76. We teach swim lessons to infants and the retained warmth (back to 80 degrees by 10am) was essential. It allowed swimming to continue into late October/November. We even jumped in on Thanksgiving (74 degrees).In April, we gained a pool heater. The combination of the cover and heater allowed us to increase the 18x36 pool temperature more than 10 degrees overnight. We also purchased the roller which made handling incredibly easy.It's a year now and we just began using the cover again. It was stored outside on the roller all summer. As some others have mentioned, it is brittle and will tear easily. Also, some of the bubbled edge has begun to lose plastic bubbles.Easy handling helps, but we will be purchasing another cover within the coming weeks. We're pleased with the product. The life expectancy of the cover was as expected (1-year). We could've likely extended this by placing the rolled cover in our garage or a covered area. For reference.we live in southern Alabama with high humidity. The cover was in a partial sun/shade area and temperatures were normal over the past year. I hope this helps.
