Features 5

  • Superior Debris Protection: This rugged mesh pool cover for inground pools blocks leaves, sticks, and other debris while its fine weave lets rain and melting snow drain through freely
  • Cleaner Pool, Easier Spring Opening: By blocking leaves and debris all winter, this mesh cover leaves a cleaner pool at opening, so you do less vacuuming and use fewer chemicals in spring
  • Efficient Water Drainage: The fine mesh design of this in ground pool cover allows rain and melting snow to pass through instead of pooling on top of the cover
  • Eliminates the Need for Pumping: Because water drains through the mesh rather than collecting on top, there is no need to run a cover pump throughout the winter season

Description

The Blue Wave Rugged Mesh In-Ground Pool Winter Cover is engineered for long- lasting seasonal protection, designed specifically for rectangular in-ground pools. This rectangle pool cover features a generous 5-ft overlap, ensuring complete coverage and a secure fit. Made from woven, laminated polyethylene strands, the swimming pool cover features a lightweight yet extremely durable construction, allowing for easy handling during installation and removal. Its black underside helps reduce algae growth by limiting sunlight penetration, keeping water cleaner until spring. Strategically built for function and resilience, this inground pool winter cover includes water tube loops spaced every four feet for added anchoring support and reinforced corner grommets to ensure stability in harsh winter conditions. The fine mesh construction blocks leaves, twigs, and larger debris from entering the pool while allowing rainwater and melted snow to pass through. This prevents water accumulation, eliminating the need for frequent draining or use of cover pumps. Its double- stitched hems are triple reinforced to withstand ice, wind, and snow, maintaining the integrity of the pool cover throughout the winter season. Offered in a range of sizes—12-ft x 20-ft, 12-ft x 24-ft, 14-ft x 28-ft, 16-ft x 24-ft, 16-ft x 32-ft, 16-ft x 36-ft, 18-ft x 36-ft, 20-ft x 40-ft, 25-ft x 45-ft, 30-ft x 50-ft, and 30-ft x 60-ft—this rectangular pool cover fits a wide variety of in-ground pool dimensions.

Secure it properly if you don't want it to sag
Size: 20 by 40-Feet
Been buying a new cover almost every year, this is the first cover that actually allows the water to drain through it. You need to give it a space between the water and the cover for it to drain though. I had some on the cover before u finished securing it as I went the water was draining as I watched. I have an above ground pool with a deck all the way around so this is perfect water drains though. Been raining for 3 days straight and it's just fine. ... show more

Pool Cover
Size: 20 by 40-Feet
I bought this cover to assist with keeping the fall leaf drop out of my pool.. That has worked. The challenge is removing the cover back to storage as the cover tends to get a large amount of pool water on top and we have to work this water off the cover. It gets very heavy. Does a great job keeping the debri out....The water weights get mildew on them even though I wash these upon removal and storage. ... show more

Cover itself held up fine after first winter but straps failed terribly
Size: 16 by 32-Feet
We had almost 100" of snow this winter. The cover itself held up fine after its first winter but straps failed terribly, see photo. The straps obviously should have had several more passes of sewing to reinforce the bond to the cover. Cover would probably work fine in areas with no snow, but I would not recommend for snowy areas. ... show more

A bit of a gimmick but nice
Size: 20 by 40-Feet
The cover is well made with heavy stitching, reinforcements and grommets along the whole length. It's light and easy to manage. I installed the 20x40 ft model by myself. The one thing that troubles me is the "feature" that lets the water through. It was a major appeal for me as I don't like standing water I have to pump. However, it's not so much a special design of the tarp that lets rain water through and keeps pool water out. It's rather the fact that the mesh is loose. Because of that, it will also let the pool water seep through the cover if you install it loose standing on the water surface. I've observed significant evaporation in 40-60 degree temperatures. What the cover needs is to be pulled tight so that it doesn't touch the pool water. That means a lot of bags or better yet, using the grommets to secure it with ropes. ... show more

Gets the job done
Size: 16 by 36-Feet
Cover is good for price. Did not like that you had to fill the bags with water and made it heavy; making it difficult to carry and place down in order to hold the cover down.

Happy in Texas
Size: 14 by 28-Feet
As far as I'm concerned, it has already paid for itself. If you live in the southern states where its not really worth it to close the pool, this product is great. Saves the leaf maintenance and the cold arms and you can still run the filter when wanted. Yes it is cheaper material, but it does the job of keeping most everything out through rainstorms and windy conditions. It lets the water sit on top and slowly leak through over time, seems to work fine so far. Will give further review after the season. The attached photo is after a major cold front and rain blew in. ... show more
