Description
Closing a pool for winter should not mean months of cleanup or a green pool in spring. The Blue Wave Arctic Armor 24-ft Round Above Ground Pool Winter Cover is a heavy-duty solid pool tarp built to handle everything the off-season brings, so you can close up in fall and return to a cleaner pool when spring arrives. It’s made with a 10x12 scrim woven polyethylene, a dense, tear- resistant material that forms a solid barrier against leaves, sticks, rain, and snow. The reinforced, heat-sealed seams form a watertight bond across the cover to block moisture and debris and help prevent rips. Because the panel is solid rather than mesh, it keeps water from passing through and limits evaporation over winter. The black underside blocks sunlight throughout the off-season to help limit dirt buildup in the pool, which reduces the maintenance work needed at opening time. Securing the cover is straightforward. The rust-resistant aluminum grommets spaced every 2 feet work with the included vinyl-coated cable and metal winch to lock the cover down evenly, withstanding strong winds, rain, and snow. This winter cover is sized for 24-ft round above-ground pools with an extra 4-ft overlap for a snug, wind-resistant fit; a helper speeds installation on a pool this size. This is a winter debris cover, not a safety cover. Do not walk on it or allow it to support weight. After a heavy snow, clear the buildup from the pool edge with a soft-bristle broom. To keep the pool cleaner, use a cover pump to remove standing water that collects on top of the cover after storms. Backed by Blue Wave’s 12-year limited warranty (full coverage in year 1 and prorated coverage in years 2 through 12), U.S.-based customer support and over 35 years of pool industry experience. This swimming pool cover is sized for 24-ft round pools only. Complete with securing hardware, including the winch and cable, so everything needed for installation is in the box.

Lasted the whole winter in bad conditions
Size: 18' (Round)
Last year I purchased this exact cover and it didn't work out. By early spring the cover was torn and basically only functioned as a sun shade. I did some research and realized that this was a user error and not necessarily the product, so I gave it another chance. This time I was very careful and followed the directions. The cover was put on correctly and so far has held up to some very windy conditions... The same ones that did in last year's cover. I will update if this cover is shredded in the spring, but I don't anticipate that being the case. It isn't the thickest cover, but should get 2-3 years. Even the expensive ones start to fail after that. UPDATE: We have had some terrible wind over the past few weeks and the cover has held up well. I recently drained the water off the top and there is no damage to the cover. As I said before, the key is to follow the directions and make sure the cover isn't pulling on the side of the pool. It has to be sitting inside with slack. If so it will hold up. No cover will make it with all the weight of water pulls on it. Follow the directions and this is just as good as covers costing three times as much. UPDATE #2: We are now on year four and the cover has held up. I will definitely buy this again. Just make sure you follow the directions and it isn't too taunt and you will be good to go!

Excellent cover for 15' round pool.

I was happy with the cover. Fits perfect. I got a few years out of the same brand so I ordered the same one. Delivery was fast.

Good cover material, weak ratchet
Size: 18' (Round)
Basically, it's a quality fiber-reinforced cover with metal grommets for the vinyl coated cable the securely wraps the cover around the pool using a hand-turned ratchet gadget. I'm happy winterizing our 18' round Intex with this cover except for the ratchet quality. We had a few issues primarily related to the wind gusts in our area. Without water on top of the cover, the wind would create upward pressure forcing the secured cabling to climb the exterior of the pool. The soft-metal ratchet that tightened the cable was tight as possible without breaking. To prevent the cover from climbing, 9 ground stakes were placed around the perimeter of the pool, and a light-weight nylon rope wrapped the pool in a zig-zag pattern tying the cover (through the cover's metal grommets) to the ground stakes. On our 18' round Intex pool, the stakes were placed at every other pole (and at angle closest to the ground.) This tie-down pattern helped to create enough resistance to the incremental climbing effect caused by the relentless wind gusts. This was last year, our first year. Unfortunately, we didn't properly store the cover over the summer. I'm guessing it was the lawn mower's exhaust muffler that burned a hole in the cover. The hole was about 1.5" in diameter, and I didn't notice the hole until the cover was draped over the pool. This was frustrating since I just dosed the pool with shock and algaecide. Anyway, I could reach the hole and managed to patch it using the rubberized Flex Tape (as seen on TV.) The tape was applied to both sides of the cover. Super sticky stuff. I wiped both sides around the hole clean, and then placed the rubberized Flex Tape on each side covering the hole top & bottom. The temp was about 45 degrees F at the time, and the cover wasn't totally dry when I applied the tape. But the tape adhered nicely -- I burnished the two sides together. If your cover has manageable tears or holes, it might be worth checking out the rubberized Flex Tape... as seen on TV. The next and hopefully final problem is the weak ratchet. The relentless wind gusts (we live near the Great South Bay on Long Island) put enough tension on the ratchet assembly forcing the ratchet's pawl pin out of the housing. As a result, the cabling loosened, and the cover draped into the pool. BTW, this happened the day prior to the planned zig-zag tie-down mentioned above. Until I locate a better ratchet, I'm using a mini C-clamp to keep the pawl & pin in place. Given a better cabling ratchet, I'd give the product 5 stars.

Update on this pool cover... Don't waste your time or money on this one
Size: 15' (Round)
Well as suspected, this pool cover is crap. It is very thin and now is full of holes. I have it installed correctly and it has only been a couple of months since it was purchased. We have had 1 rainstorm and no really stormy days. This cover is disintegrating faster than a basic plastic tarp from Harbour Freight and the company claims it will last for 12 years!!! Do not waste your money on this cover. I have not bothered to try to return it. It will cost me more money to return it than its worth. Live and learn. I have my doubts that this tarp will hold up for 12 years. It is fairly thin feeling but it appears to be holding up so far. The cable and ratchet system are also very light-weight but did what they were intended to do with plenty of extra cable left over. I really like that this pool cover does not have a bunch of holes in it like every other one I have purchased. Why on earth would I want holes in a cover intended to keep debris and rainwater OUT of the pool water all winter? The other thing I like about this cover is the underside is black which is helping the keep warmth in the pool water. It may or may not matter when it freezes this winter, again it is a "wait and see" thing for me. The number of grommets this cover has is pretty cool. I was almost able to situate the cover so the cable that you weave through the grommets could be passed under all of the steel "legs" around the outside of the pool. My pool diameter is possibly smaller than the cover was designed to fit. That's ok by me because the cover fits down inside the pool edge far enough that there is no way the wind can bother it once it fills with some water. I do not need to attach the cover to anything else that could damage the outside of the pool liner now. The ONLY reason I do not feel confident in giving 5 stars is because of the density of the cover and the bare minimum size of the cable and ratchet. They work but for how long, 12 years is a pretty ridiculous claim. If it survives one year then I might have to reconsider my rating.

Best one I've bought in 14 years!
Size: 24' (Round)
That time of the year to close the pool and protect it from the falling leaves. Also time to purchase a new pool cover as the last one had made it through two seasons. The pool experts at most sites indicate that if you get a pool cover to last more than 2 years, you did well; fact is, they are really not designed to last more than 2 years. You do have options, a 10 year, a 12 year, but never believe that it will last that long. This pool cover comes with a 2 year full warranty and then the rest is prorated (just replace it - don't expect to really use the warranty). Ok, so why did I give this one 5 stars? I knew what to expect and wasn't being un-realistic about the warranty. However, this cover has benefits over others I have bought in the past. Having owned our above ground pool for 14 years, that means I have purchased about 7 of these. What makes this one different? Well I have a 24 foot round pool and I use a 6' pillow in the middle. Typical covers have had a hard time covering the pool even though they stated that there would be 1.5 feet overlap. Throw in the pillow and the cover barely fit. This one has a true 2 foot or more overlap for a 24' foot pool; it also allows for an 18 inch drop in water, leaving plenty of material to completely cover your pool. I put the huge 6' foot pillow in the middle, covered the pool and was surprised, amazed and ecstatic that this cover covered completely. Now, read the instructions: Do no drain water off the top of the cover during the winter time (I always did this, maybe doing so contributes to weakening the pool cover). Their reasoning is, this protects it from the wind damage. Make sure your water doesn't drop more than the 18 inches (check). Oh, and the grommets seem to be more of them than others I have bought and everyone of them were in place (unlike others I have purchased where there were fewer of them and some of them weren't there. The only complaint is this. If they would box the cover inside out, it would make installation simple. I try to not put in on my deck (don't want to snag it) or open it on the ground (and get trash in the pool). So I opened it up on top of the pool, carefully unfolding it, but since it was folded with the outside on top, makes it very difficult; flip the initial packaging and this would be the perfect cover. When I take it off in spring, it will be folded outside in so that installation is a breeze!

Did the job I wanted it to do!
Size: 24' (Round)
I bought this cover with the intention of using once, throwing out, and buying a new one and it worked perfectly for that. I don’t want to mess around with cleaning and storing it. We opened to a crystal clear pool this year after a winter of snow, rain, and wind. It held up well and I will be repurchasing for this year. The winch tool is cheaply made and broke right away but we made it work and also weighed down the cover with milk jugs filled with water. Without that, I’m not sure it would hold up as well if you live where it gets windy in the winter. A few corners of the cover would flap up a bit in the wind but the milk jugs kept it from causing a problem. When we took the cover off it was in great shape so it might be able to be used a second year but again I’d rather buy new then clean and store. Will purchase again!

Not a 12 year cover
Size: 24' (Round)
Great cover but only lasted 5 years. Really it was 4 years and half way through the 5th season it disintegrated off into a zillion nylon threads. I’m sure the 12 year warranty is a crock so why bother I’ll just purchase a heavy duty one

Good cover, great price!
Size: 18' (Round)
We have an 18' diameter pool and bought the size recommended for it. It covered the pool exactly as shown in their photos... which is perfect. (If you want your cover to have more overhang then buy a larger size, but I do think their photos are accurate/non-misleading!) We live in Indiana and get pretty strong winds at times. I think a lot of ppl make the mistake of trying to keep all the water off the top of their pool cover, but the weight of the water or ice on top is what keeps gusting winds from billowing under your pool cover and ripping it... and possibly your pool's cap rail.... away. Regarding durability: No it's not going to last 12 years, and you have to read the fine print to see how they're warrantying that, but anyone who's owned a pool for a length of time knows that a 12-year pool cover is too good to be true (unless maybe some space-age material costing a LOT more than 40 bucks!) My experience: got us through 4 winters. The parts that remained at least mostly submerged look to be in good shape still. The edges, above water & exposed to sun are now very fragile and can poke a finger through. So... ordering another one to use this fall.
