What is the warranty on this cover? We used ours just one season and thought it was still okay so put it on for the fall and it leaks pool water.

I'm not sure about the warranty. The one that we purchased was used and sent back and they resold it to us as new. It was dirty and used.

It says 8 years - but I'm lucky to get 2 years out of any cover I've owned over the last 15 years. Wind is my enemy, and its not covered under the warranty.

Supposedly 8 years, one would be lucky to get 8 months out of it from my experience. Virtually ALL of these 'tarp' based covers are similar in how fast they degrade, more so if you live in the west.

It says it's an "8 year" so I assumed when I bought mine so I assume there's an 8 year warranty! So sorry!

So far ours is not leaking. That said it was only installed 2 months ago. Thanks for the heads up about this potential issue. I'll keep an eye on it and update my review if it becomes a problem.

The rain water quickly evaporates. Our problem is with pine pollen and other tree debris. We took the cover off and rinsed it off and then put it back on. I think we will buy a roller that sits at the edge of the pool to simplify the movement.

Anytime! Hope that was helpful. Also, I used thompsons water sealer on it to help protect it more from the elements. Contacted manufacturer n they said that was fine.

I had one that died a month after installation, on a day that it rained a lot. Schlage was great about replacing it with minimal hassle. I asked whether I should protect the new one from rain to avoid a repeat, and was told that I didn't need to--that it should be fine in the rain and mine must have been defective. It could be that my defect was in the rain protection, or could be that it was a coincidence. But in any case they seem to stand behind the product and intend it to be fine in wet weather.

My splash pool is fixed permanently and suffered no damage last winter. Last Fall I installed a winter-cover over the pool to keep out leaves, drained the water to just below the filter intake, and drained the filter. Last weekend I refilled the pool and reconnected the filter and everything appears to be working perfectly.

It's not easy to get it, is it? Without instructions what we did was put the cover on top (after threading the string through the holes) and then tied the string tight so it stayed. I was not happy with the cover and have since tossed it...it sagged in the middle and trapped rainwater that would turn muddy and it was impossible to remove the cover without getting muddy water in the pool. The cover design needs improvement. Good luck.

I don't remember the length of the warranty. Have used it for one summer without any problems other than it had a slight leak where it attached to my home. Was able to reseat the gasket which seemed to remedy the problem.

I am not sure what the period is. I would have to check. So far I have had my cover 3-4 months and it repels water just fine and for the money I will but again and again because it is that nice. You could replace it every other year and still save money but it will last 3-5 I'm guessing in hot sun. That's what my custom cover lasted is 4 years for 485$$$$ and this is just as good.

You bet it's defective, Our 1st one we have had a year, we have had the 2nd one 7 months, neither on leak so if you can I'd exchange it.

I would get a whole different cover. We bought ours last year, we have trees above our pool that drop seeds. When the sun hit the pool the cover fell into shreds. It was floating in pieces on our pool? We had to open our pool in March.

I'm not sure on the warranty. All I know is that I was very unhappy with this product. I ended up purchasing a different cover and it works great!

This cover is not heavy duty - It ripped after one season and it was horrible to get the water off of it after the winter. I wouldn't get it- it was more frustrating the anything- its not really quality material- its okay but it just pulled a lot of the sides and really wasn't all crack up to what I thought it would be.

Their warranty won't matter, because once you buy and have a problem they will not respond. I bought it last May 2013 and went to take it down in Sept 2013 and seams were all ripped and it can not be put back up, unless it is duck taped and then!?! Not worth the money they are asking, to only last 1 season. Colorado

I have always had to pump the water off the cover in the spring when I am ready to open the pool. This may be a thin cover but it got me through a very harsh northern Indiana winter and will likely work next year. If you want a cover that you do not have to pump, then get the very sturdy looploc mesh covers.

I live in CA. And we think this cover is not worth what we paid for it. The theory behind it is good, having been a lifeguard for over a decade, we covered and uncovered the pool daily. Long story short, either buy the same quality pool cover as public pools or do not buy one at all. Holds minimal warmth over night and is completely falling apart from the sun after only 1 year.

We had the same problem with the cover, also the pump only lasted a year and the outlet valves where you can turn the water off to replace the filter stopped working as well. Pain in the butt to change filter with water gushing out.
