VINGLI 12Mil Solar Pool Cover 18x36FT Rectangle Solar Blanket for Inground Pool and Above-Ground Swimming Pool, Blue

I ordered this for a 16x32 rectangular in ground pool with stairs at the end. I went with the 18x36 and cut it down - it was the perfect length to cover the pool plus the steps. I also purchased a reel at the same time. I doubled up the end and connected it to the reel. One person can take the cover off fairly easily. With two people it is easy. Putting the cover on with one person can be done. It is way easier with two people. The cover definitely kept the pool warmer. We never had a cover the first couple of years and noticed a big difference. During the heat of the Kentucky summer the pool would reach over 90 degrees. We have a heater but do not run it unless we are in the spring or fall. The cover also dramatically reduced the leaves and creatures that get into the pool. Another benefit was the reduction in chlorine usage. Our pool is salt water and the generator would normally be on 60%. With the cover installed, the chlorine levels shot up so I dropped the generator to 10 or 20% and it kept pace. I didn’t add salt for the majority of the season and thought something was wrong! The cover was worn out after the second season and I am purchasing a replacement now. I am surprised that the price is still the same after two years. For 85 bucks per season, this cover is well worth the money.

Muy buen producto

This is a heavy pool cover, especially if you have a large in-ground pool! You'll need space on your lawn or next to the pool to unfold the cover out of the box. Then, its best to have two people to spread the cover on the pool. I had only myself it was a chore. Then, you walk around with a pair of scissors and trim the cover to fit exactly inside your pool. But, once all that is done, it does an AMAZING JOB of keeping blowing leaves out of the pool AND -- heating the pool for free! I like my pool about 94 degrees and if it gets too hot, I just take the cover off for a couple of days. This cover is thick and sturdy, too.

Durable material for pool. Fit our small pool perfectly . Was able to cut ends to smoothly fit in round corners. Helps draw in sun to warm the pool water. Simple to assemble and rolls up easily when not in use

Just installed this cover. Seems to be well made and thickness is very good. The cover was easy to cut to our pool configuration. Glad we got the 12mil vs. a 16mil cover as the weight is still fairly hefty on the 12mil cover. Will see about longevity as time progresses, but very pleased for now.
