Blue Wave NS400 mil Solar Blanket for Rectangular 12 x 20-ft In-Ground Pools Patio Umbrella, FT FT

Keeping the pool clean and warm

We have been using two of these solar blankets to cover our 36' x 24' pool for three months now and they have been great. They have held up well to nearly daily installation and removal. We use a single 24' wide roller to store the blankets when not in use. This keeps the pool area much neater and probably reduces wear and tear on the covers as well. Normally we allow the covers to float on the surface unattached, however, one did get blown off by a fast moving thunderstorm so I'd recommend some kind of straps if in a windy area. We have found three significant benefits to the covers...heating the water (central PA), keeping debris out of the pool, and most remarkable is the reduced consumption of chlorine. The covers raised the pool temp (30K gal) 6 degrees in about 24 hours in early June and have consistently kept the temperature around 80 degrees throughout the summer. Because the covers float we can crank them onto the roller easily and remove the occasional leaf or insect during the retraction process. Finally, the covers have significantly reduced our use of chlorine and other chemicals. While I haven't kept an record of chlorine consumption, it's pretty obvious during those periods when the covers are off for several days the usage goes up. Regarding durability, clearly they will have a limited life (3-4 years??), but being somewhat lighter also allows easy installation/retraction. Given their initial cost and what they have saved us in chlorine I estimate they'll pay for themselves in two years. I'd highly recommend this product.

Es muy buena manta solar, algo frágil respecto a otros productos, pero cumple con su función.

I live in Hawaii where it is sunny most days. I found I had to add quite a bit of water to my pool due to evaporation at least once a week, sometimes more in the summer. Since installation of the solar blanket, I haven’t had to add water to the pool yet (it’s been over a month) and had to lower the pool level when we had several days of heavy rain. It was super easy to install and easy to cut to shape (mine is a kidney shaped pool). If you have a rectangular shape pool, it’ll be even easier! The blanket also stopped the dead leaves and debris from my trees from going into the pool. It does warm up the water (my pool is not heated), which is a bonus for me. So if you like your water cool, you will need to remove the cover a couple of days before using to cool it down. Overall, this product works great for reducing the amount of evaporation from the pool and helping to keep the pool cleaner. I highly recommend it. Addendum: Now that I’ve had this cover for a year, I’m disappointed to report that the durability is not great and it has shown signs of disintegration — the bubbles are often found floating in the pool. I did see a video showing the exact problem I’m experiencing. I wished I had seen this before purchasing. Although it states there is a five year warranty, when that customer attempted to talk to the company, he was met with resistance stating the information had to still be in the cover itself. Also there is a prorated amount you still have to pay and also the cost of shipping for them to send a replacement. Something to consider before purchasing this product.
