Blue Wave NS400 mil Solar Blanket for Rectangular 12 x 20-ft In-Ground Pools – Blue

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.

We bought this pool cover after several years of freezing cold pool water for our above ground pool. This cover works so well - the water heats up to the point that it’s almost warm. We had a solar warmer that came with the pool and it didn’t do anything. This actually insultes and warms. It was more than big enough for our pool size - my husband had to cut it down. It was super easy to install. We have extremely high desert winds where we live and it is stable and hasn’t blown off the pool. It covers well so that we barely have to skim the pool.

The Solar Pool Cover does an excellent job of reducing evaporation by at least 90% and heating the pool. Saved me 1000s of gallons of water during the hot summer months in Southern California.Had issues with product quality after a year, contacted Blue Wave Customer Service. The issue was resolved to my satisfaction very quickly.

I purchased this pool cover a little skeptical if it was going to work or not. Much to my surprise it has been extremely efficient and one weeks time. It has raised our pool Temperature 15°. The pool is usually too cold until the end of July to swim, however with this fabulous solar cover or able to swim in it now. I read the reviews prior and they say that it only last a season or two, but it’s the price and the efficiency it’s really worth the money. I highly recommend this product!

The cover is a lot thinner than the one we had previously. Also, the one we had before was one large piece and this one is several strips of material with seams to hold them together. The material does not feel much thicker than regular bubble wrap.It was easy to cut but it seems there are always some air bubbles trapped under it which is not good because that is where the material gets really hot in the sun (since it is not being cooled by the water).The cover makes the pool warm up faster. We did not get the cover for this purpose and I am not too happy about it because I am under the impression that algae grow faster now that we have this cover.We generally have a cover to reduce evaporation, now more important than ever due to the severe drought conditions in California. I am happy we got the cover and I found a relatively good price on amazon compared to local stores. I highly recommend getting a cover to anyone with a pool in California.However, as other reviewers pointed out, the warranty is not really a warranty. From a good manufacturer I would expect to send me a replacement item if the product wears down too quickly or has any defects. This company would not exactly do that. They start with the MSRP (list price) and then make you pay a percentage of the list price for each year you were able to use the product until it failed. That is in addition to the shipping and handling fee that you would also have to pay. If the product fails during the first year you only pay shipping and handling, during the second year you also pay 35% of the list price and during the third year 50%, the fourth year 70% and the fifth year 90%. In other words, after the first year the cost and hassle to get a replacement would be so high no one would use the warranty.Now I understand that warranties are often abused and the company is trying to protect themselves from that. However, this warranty is seriously so consumer-unfriendly that they should not advertise with the warranty. Because at first sight I though this must be a pretty good product if they offer a five year warranty, many pool covers don't last that long. But it's really not a warranty worth mentioning and it is not an indicator of high quality. I would actually consider the warranty as false advertising - I mean a 5year warranty where in the 5th year the customer has to pay 90% of the list price plus shipping and handling to actually use the warranty ?In other words, don't be fooled by the warranty.Update: The pool cover didn't even last a year. It was totally destroyed about 7 months after we started using it. All of the little bubbles had basically popped and released small blue plastic circles into the pool which clogged up our filters etc. So if you combine the poor quality with poor customer service you get an absolutely unacceptable product. I would not recommend it at all.

This is absolutely worth the money. Love it. Keeps the pool clean from debris and leaves and the chemicals last so much longer! 100% recommended!

Keeping the pool clean and warm

Me sorprendió el tamaño, la lona es bastante gruesa y flexible, solo espero que en temporada de calor cómo reacciona

hasta me sobro para guardar

Thick enough to keep heat in, bugs and leaves off. Thin enough that we could trim it to size and roll it easily. We put ours on a roller, so we can roll it on and off the pool with ease.

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