So this is just a first impression review as many of the reviews seem older and vary vastly- will update once we've had it for a bit...My cover just arrived (only a few days late, of which I was kept well notified) and it was neatly wrapped in tarpish material and lighter than I expected. This is only my second solar cover and my first was an 8 mil. (blue) 12 footer from Intex, so wasn't sure what to expect. Got it out and it was definitely sturdier, thicker material than my previous one, so you are definitely getting a legit 12 mil. Though pretty light, it did take two to get it on as it was folded multiple times, fairly sticky to unfold and awkward laying it across our 18 ft (4 ft deep) round above ground steel frame Summer Waves pool. It seems well put together, though it's def different feeling than my previous one. The bubbles are larger, but less "airy," though not as easily popped (honestly - the other one has held up really well, but looks and feels like extra sturdy bubble wrap.) This is a meatier plastic by far. It completely covers the pool and then some, being probably about 8" to 1' extra in diameter, which is okay for now as it compensates for the deep folds (which will flatten out with time and warmth, I assume), but may potentially pose a problem after it smooths out...we will see on whether we need to cut it down. You want that good suction seal when you live somewhere that can get quite windy. Just know it will be bigger than you expect. And if you are someone who leaves your ladder in (we don't for safety), it will be in the way. Additionally, be mindful that this cover does NOT come with pre-cut "holes" for drainage that some covers (like my old one) already have, which isn't too much of an issue if you don't get summer rain where you live, but if you do, just be aware...I anticipate needing to acquire grommets to attach/punch through, as we get monsoons in in AZ late summer and I am not keen on just cutting holes in it, as I don't want to damage it structurally. Those drainage holes also make it easier to maneuver the cover and keep it from accumulating water on top in general, reducing sinking , etc., so this is a potential factor. Ironically, the "tenting" from the folds and extra size are compensating for this at the moment. We are building some "saddle" hooks from PVC pipe to hang on the side of the pool which will make the cover more maneuverable getting it both on and off more easily and cleanly for one person (though I anticipate this will only be doable from inside the pool. Anyway - I don't yet know anything about how well it works in terms of heating and longevity, but will update. We are in northern AZ at 7200 ft with summer highs only briefly hitting the 90s, but typically averaging in the 80s between June and September, (with significant col downs at night) so our swimming season is short and a warmer pool is essential! We are also surrounded by tall pine trees with only a few good hours of direct sunlight, so - while the FORM looks good so far - more to come on the FUNCTION! Maybe I'll try to add a pic actually ON a pool (missing from the Amazon offerings) later as well...

I bought this for a 16' x 48" round Intex ultra frame pool. The cover is great and works wonderfully at heating up the pool water. It is big enough to cover the top of the water with no extra over hang. There is a slight gap around the edges but only about an inch all the way around. Not a big deal at all. It has heated up my pool to feel like a warm bath more than a cold pool. I've found if I turn my pump off only the top 3-4 inches are real warm and the bottom of the pool is cold HOWEVER leaving the pump on circulates the water and the entire pool is kept warm! It only took 2 days to get really warm like this in 70℉ weather. I found myself warmer in the pool than out of it on a nice 70℉ breezy day lol. I also live in an area of NW Oregon that is very windy most of the time and I can say this cover hasn't blown off once. Not even close. It just stays floating on the top of the pool. The added bonus is it also helps keep bugs and debris out of the pool. I am fortunate to have been able to set up my pool where trees aren't around or close over it but there is a large field with LOTS of dandelions blowing their "wishes" all over the place when it's windy. This cover has helped tremendously in keeping them out of the water. I spent a lot of time looking into these types of pool covers and what color worked best and after a lot of reading I figured clear would be best for me. I can not comment on if it works better than black, grey or blue but my common sense says clear will magnify the heat/light in a similar way as glass would with the sun and thus create more heat and retain more heat. I also had the forethought to order this while getting the pool ready for set up so when it came I was in the process of filling the pool with water and was able to put it on when I was done. I ran the filter continuously for 48 hours then put it on a timed mode per manufacturer's recommendations and when the pump went to timed mode that's when I got only the top few inches to heat versus the whole pool being heated with the pump on continuously. Once I put the pump to run 24 hrs and left it I didn't have the cold bottom anymore so I recommend a pump on continuously for whole pool heat with this cover. I also would like to mention that I have 3 children, 9,6,3, who have each tries to pop the bubbles on this cover without success, and promptly given timeouts because of it lol. It is thick. This is NOT your standard bubble wrap. This stuff is thick and strong. Strong enough to withstand three naughty children trying their hardest to pop the bubbles without being able to strong. I've had this product for two months now on my saltwater pool and there is no sign of failure yet. My husband was skeptical and a bit irritated at first I bought it and thought I was wasting our money, but after experiencing the difference it makes he praises me on the purchase. I highly recommend getting this cover for your pool and can say you won't regret it with confidence. When the day comes I need to replace this cover, it is plastic after all and nothing lasts forever!, I will be buying it again and have already set this item to my wishlist so I can find it easily when that day comes. Yes, I am that happy with it. I know this has saved me a ton of money already versus buying an electric heater for my pool and the cost of electricity to run it as my husband wanted to do 😜. Buy this and be happy jumping into your warm pool and have fun

I was amazed at how thick this opaque white solar cover is compared to the flimsy blue cover that I was replacing. And my pool jumped 10 degrees overnight! In fact, here in the heat of summer, I have to monitor the water temperature in my 16' x 48" round above ground pool because it gets too warm (almost 100 degrees!). The 15" round fits the 16" pool beautifully. My previous blue solar covers lasted only one season before beginning to disintegrate and shedding little blue plastic dots that clogged up my filter. I have a feeling this cover will last a lot longer. One downside is that because of the thickness, it's a little bit stiff and harder to fold up. It's also a bit heavier but nothing an average adult can't handle. Another downside is that there are no holes in it so with the pump on, the cover gets covered with water and starts to get submerged. I will probably add a few holes myself to keep the cover on the surface. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase.

We originally got one of the blue lighter-weight solar covers but it didn't work out. We decided to get this one that was more heavy duty. So glad we did. It feels much more sturdy and durable. One drawback is the bubbles are the small ones. When we have this on the pool with the pump on, water can get on top and it seems to not be quite as effective. Would definitely buy this over the thinner alternatives.
