crappy cover for the small version pool
596381
This item is not as pictured - we bought the 103 x 69 pool and this is ridiculously huge for that pool and it is also navy. It goes all the way to the ground and then a foot or better longer than that in some places. The sting helps but it looks like crap. Thanks intex!

Finally put this on our pool this month, even though we purchased it late last year.  It is already coming apart at the seam.  Do not purchase this cover.

this does not fit an 18'pool, even the cord that comes with it is too short. this must be for a 15' pool. this is falsely advertised.
one month later and it ripped!!!!!!!

I have owned in ground pool for 40 years now. I stopped using bags or tubes a long time ago to hold down the cover. A company here in the US made a product called a water blox. It looked exactly like the ones on this page and seemed the same item.
No so. The US made item was heavier gage and the lids fit much better. Those water boxes lasted me many years and had no problems. Unfortunately the small company that made them went out of business and the item was no longer available. So I bought these on this page. Thinner plastic, lids not fitting well. The result is as others have said, blowing off and scattering in the wind.. Also because the plastic is thinner a large percentage are developing cracks from the ice and have to be inspected and tossed if cracked. This spring I am inspecting, and attaching the lids permanently with screws. I added a fill hole with cap.
These are cheap china knockoffs of a really good product. This item is not something I would recommend to anyone. By the way, my very first review on amazon. I hope it saves someone a lot of frustration.

This was great for two days. The third day I noticed while it was sittting on side of pool that the seam was pulling a part on one side.  The cover is basically coming off on one side from the head to down the arm.  When blown up the cup holders are not positioned right in the holes. Not to mention the holes are way to small for any cup. I had to use the cooler part to put my bevarage in.

This pool cover is very poor quality.  I have had it only one winter and it is already tearing apart.  I contacted the manufacturer concerning a replacement and was told that I had to have the box that it came in.  Needless to say, I did not have the box.  The company  would not honor the warranty even though I had all the necessary paperwork. I will not purchase any item from this seller in the future.

I go through about one cover a season.  None of them seem to hold up.  Duct tape and prayer on the covers are your only answer.  Last time I went to a bigger size (24 ft vs 21 ft) and it did help keep moisture out better and debris.  I also added a screen on top of the cover to remove most of the debris easier.  Otherwise when you remove the cover, a great deal of it ends up back in the pool.  Again, with this I went to the next biggest size.

This is a lose-lose with these covers.  If you can get away without one, your are better off.  I have seen plastic ones that are like domes over the pools but they are expensive.

I double checked that I was getting the appropriate cover (for A1398 - marked on bottom of my laptop) and I did, but the bottom of this set does not fit on the bottom of my laptop. The top half fits properly, but the bottom half doesn't cover the whole bottom (back corners are left unprotected, unlike SPECK's case which I am replacing b/c that one did its job in a fall but cracked a back corner in the process), and this one only snaps on in front of bottom half, so every time I pick up the laptop with this new cover on, the bottom falls off! AWFUL purchase. I will now have to buy another SPECK, anyway. Guess you do get what you pay for.

I bought this and after waiting what seemed like forever for amazon to "prepare the order", I was extremely dissappointed when I received it. I had to purchase another nonsolar cover while "waiting" for this shipment and was sickened to find that it is nothing more than $20 bubblewrap!!! It is only 11.5 feet so if you have a 12' pool be prepared for gaps along the edge. Mine, however, seems to want to fly off at the slightest breeze. I will never know if it heats the pool because I'm over it already. Would LOVE to return it but don't want to pay pricey return shipping. Save your money and get something better. I regret this purchase.

Compared to my previous cover this is *significantly* lighter-weight.  I have a round pool, so I carefully cut out an appropriately-sized piece, and when I want to use the pool I climb in and start rolling the cover up on itself as I work to the halfway point in the pool, then roll the rest to the center before hauling the roll to a hanger I built on the side.  That worked well with my previous cover, but this cover is so flimsy that it's impossible to get it to roll over its length in the 16' pool.  It ends up bunching and binding resulting in a complete mess, and also results in a decent number of the bubbles being popped just trying to manhandle it.

At this point I basically have a bunch of expensive bubble-wrap.

As usual, I suspect the majority of the reviews are from people who just received their cover and haven't actually subjected it to any length of testing.

Ive had this cover for four months and its already starting to come apart.  Before you jump to conclusions I have never left this in the sun off the pool.  When it comes off it going in the shade while the pool is being used and right back on.  I also check my chemicals every few days so that is also not the issue.  The material is so thin that it ripped a piece off in my hand when I tried to pull it back over my pool.  Do yourself a favor and find a better cover.  This is not the one.

I have had the cover less than three months. It was not the cover advertised and we could have purchased one for  more than half the price at a local pool store, or a simple tarp as the ties did not match up to tie on the pool. We ended up buying a heavy rope to anchor around the cover to hold it on the pool. Now the cover is ripping down the middle. This cover is sold with NO warranty and to return it would cost too much. It was a waste of money and a dishonest sale.

This cover is extremely thin material that is held together by a web of threads. You can actually cut with a pair of household scissors.

The cover is so light, and flimsy, it will lift up, and flap when a moderate wind is present. I had to devise different ways to hold the cover on the surface of the pool, otherwise it would rip and blow-away.

After a couple months, the cover developed a series of holes (the material appeared to "melt") that allowed water to cover the cover, and render it useless; the cover sank.

I finally removed the cover, and threw it in the trash; there is no way it could be used again.

I would have been better off leaving the pool uncovered.

This hot tub cover is very cheep and is not constructed well. The inside of the hot tub cover is of a mess and not vinyl.

Worse solar cover I've ever bought!  I have been buying solar covers for our pool for at lest 30 years and this has been the worse cover yet.  Just after 2 months of use the cover started tearing off in pieces when it was pulled over the pool.  This cover did not even last through the summer.  Will never buy from this manufacturer again.

I bought this pool cover in May. In the first week it begain to rip where the pool posts are. I repaired it with
duct tape. We then had alot of rain during the hurricane and the weight of the water made it ripe even more. this the worst pool cover I have ever seen.
I would not recomend this product anyone.

We have had a lot of problems with this pool.  This is the second year we have it, but the air valve on the ring is starting to wear down and I worry it will fail and the pool will be useless because of this one little part.  Also, there is such a waste of room with the sides going out so far, but you can't swim in that area.  So the pool is much smaller, and much shallower, than we thought it would be.  The pump does not do a good job of cleaning the pool. We will definitely get another type of pool when this one dies on us.  You don't get any support from the manufacturers either.
