Sun2Solar Blue 16 ft x 32 ft Rectangle Solar Cover | 8 Mil | Heat Retaining Blanket for Rectangular Inground & Above Ground Swimming Pools | Use Sun to Heat Pool | Bubble Heating Blankets | 800 Series

For as cheaply made as this pool cover is, it works really well - we are done spending 5 - $600 a year for the expensive covers that don't last in the desert summers more than 1 - 2 years ... this pool cover has made the pool much warmer and it's super light and easy to deal with - it has already ripped but that's to be expected with something so thin - we will be buying this cover again

Short version: cover was terrible but company credited me toward the thicker/better one. Long version: I'd always bought the 1200 series and tried to squeeze a second season out of it. This year, I decided to just spend a little less and just get one season (because I was usually getting blue flaking off the cover and into the pool by the end of the life of the other); it would be more expensive in the long run, but easier (I figured). When the 800 series came, I was surprised at how much thinner and flimsier it felt. It was actually hard to get on the pool, behaving like Saran Wrap. Rolling it up to uncover the pool for use was really hard... just too flimsy. Still, I figured, it's preventing evaporation and warming the pool just as effectively. But after only 7 weeks, it was sinking; virtually all of the bubbles had cracked. It really behaved like Saran Wrap, and it was impossible to roll it up. It could not be left on the pool; it was 1-2 feet under the surface in several places. To the company's credit, I sent in pictures and within two hours had a response that I could either get a free replacement or pay up the difference to the 1200 series. I paid up the difference. Soooo...save yourself the trouble and get the 1200 (or better) series right of the bat. The 800 series simply did not hold up, but credit the company for making it right.

Exceptional performance and huge energy savings for our 16x32 Intex above-ground pool! We’ve now bought this Sun2Solar Blue 16 ft x 32 ft 8 mil solar cover twice and it has been one of the best investments we’ve made for our pool. We live in Hemet, CA where summer days regularly hit the high 90s to low 100s. With this cover on during the day, we’ve seen our 14,400-gallon pool reach **100°F** — perfect for evening swims and night parties when the air cools off. The water stays noticeably warmer overnight too, which makes a huge difference in comfort and how often we actually use the pool. The bubble design does an excellent job of trapping solar heat while reducing evaporation. We’ve cut our pool heater runtime dramatically — the energy savings alone more than pay for the cover every season. **Highly recommend pairing it with the Intex Solar Cover Reel** (the adjustable one that goes from 9–16 ft). The reel has been a game-changer for longevity. It makes rolling the cover on and off effortless, keeps it clean from leaves and debris, and prevents the usual rips, snags, and tears that destroy most solar blankets. With regular careful use and the reel, we’re easily getting **2 full seasons** (and sometimes more) out of each cover before UV exposure eventually takes its toll. That’s outstanding for an 8 mil blanket. Yes, all solar covers will eventually degrade from the sun — that’s just the nature of the material — but the performance and cost savings are so good that I happily reorder every 2–5 years without hesitation. If you have a rectangular above-ground or inground pool this size, do yourself a favor and get this cover + the reel combo. You’ll love how warm the water stays and how much less work (and money) pool maintenance becomes. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (We’ve purchased this item twice — once in 2021 and again recently — and the quality has been consistent both times.)

Works really well the heat the pool and keep evoraporation down but it does fall apart every 6 months or so which is frustrating. But it does work really well just does not last long, however at the price it is saving me more than 300 a year in the summer here in Texas so I can fork it out.

This is my 2nd Pool Solar cover. It lasted 5 years and started to fall apart. So I bought another one. Between the sun and the chlorine of the pool, it takes a beating. I also have the roll up device for this cover. You simply take the solar cover and place on top of your pool (bubbles down) and cut it to the shape of your pool so it lies directly on the water. I have the one end attached to my roll up device and it's so each to roll it up and pull it back out. I usually put it away with tarps and bungee cords for the winter to keep it nice. I'll put my new one together spring of 2024. It really makes your swimming season longer. I live in Concord, CA so it gets pretty hot here. 90s and 100s all summer. With the solar cover on my pool is like a bath tub...89 to 96 degrees.

It was okay quality, it did rip easily, used it couple times then gave it away to my neighbor, won’t buy another

so far, it's warming the top of the pool. It's doing what it supposed to do.

I bought this pool solar cover and received it on the first day of June. Delivery was quick as expected, the cover seemed new when opened. It was easy enough to cut to the shape of my pool despite being a very large cover. It raised the temperature of the pool about 8 degrees above normal. Our pool is in a windy location, but the cover, once cut to the shape, was not moved by the wind. The cover reduced the evaporation nicely. I only needed to refill the pool half as often. When we first started using the cover, we could immediately see that the material was very thin and flimsy. This made taking it off easy since it was light, but it could not withstand much use. Within a month there were holes and rips in the cover. Also, the bubbles in the cover started popping over time, despite the fact that we were gentle with the cover and the pool chemicals are correctly administered by a professional. By the end of month three there were no bubbles left on the cover. The cover now sits like a wet rag on top of the pool and sinks easily as water gets on top of it. In the photo, the white squares are the patches I put on the cover to keep it together. My pool professional laughed at my cover. He said for what I paid ($200) I should have gotten a much better cover. He said he will buy the cover next year and show me the difference. I think I will go that route with my next cover. He mostly faults the thinness of the material and how quickly it degraded when exposed to the chlorine. So, I would say that this is a one season cover at best.

I have purchase a 20'X40' solar blanket from NYRS in March 2020 and started using it from May to Sept 2020 and for a similar period in 2021. The solar blanket was winterized inside my garage at all time during the winter periods. I started seeing degradation in the product when installed this past May 2022 (see pictures) the blanket was basically "disintegrating" and "falling apart" in numerous places. I contacted the seller NYRS (which is not the manufacturer) and explained the situation, after a few very cordial back and forth between ourselves and providing them with supporting information, they have resolved this issue to my entire satisfaction and definitely stood behind the products they sell. I would not hesitate to buy again from NYRS. Unfortunately I can't say the same from the manufacturer Sun2Solar. I have owned numerous pools (3) and solar blankets over my lifetime (40 years) and I have never experienced such a quick deterioration problem on any previous blankets I have owned over such a short period of time, in all, I have used the Sun2Solar blanket less than 11 months from May 2020 to date (5 months 2020 / 5 months 2021 and 1 month 2022) . I certainly hope this is an isolated incident from the manufacturer Sun2Solar. Patrick. L
