Blue Wave21-Feet Round Liner Pad for Above Ground Pools,Gray

Right size, description accurate. Just right.Thanks

We received this 15 foot round liner pad this week and have used it in the install of the Intex 15 ft x 48 inch deep round pool. Here is my experience and opinion in review.The Blue Wave 15 feet round liner is a white colored, soft felt like material that is maybe 1/32 of an inch thick. We installed our pool by building up a raised, level area of soft, clean, compressible dirt, then added retainer wall bricks. After applying sand around the circumference of the pool floor edge, we then used the included "ground cover" pad that came with the Intex pool, and over that we placed this pad. We then installed our pool liner directly over this felt surface, filled it, and we were done.My first impression is that it really matters what you place this over on your pool floor surface (bottom). The fine soil we used feels very soft under foot with this thin felt pad in place. The pool floor is very enjoyable to walk on as it is now. I think it's important that you remove any stones, because this pad is not thick enough to prevent larger stones or objects from poking up, and being easily noticed. This is not a very thick pad, but it is puncture resistant. This pad should not be meant to cushion your pool floor, but to prevent roots or stickers you may have missed from eventually puncturing through your pool liner bottom. Having said all that, I am satisfied that for the small extra amount I paid to add this into the pool build, it does improve the feel of the pool bottom, and gives an extra layer of protection from any small stones I missed. I literally cannot feel any stones, even though I know there were a few I just ignored, because they were too small or too many to pick out off my pool floor base prior to covering it.Pros:- Fits the 15 foot pool diameter with about 2 inches to spare. A bit stretchy and easy to place without any velcro or tape needed.- Provides a decent cushion like feel to the pool floor, if you've done your job getting it reasonably smooth with soft dirt and/or sand ahead of time.- Puncture resistant to blunt sticks or rocks. An extra layer of protection beyond a simple, cheap ground cover.- Relatively low price to pay for a large area of puncture resistant, decent quality felt.Cons:- It's white, so right away, it's going to get soiled and that will be visible around the pool edge. Should have made it light brown or blue.- Not quite as cushion like as you might think. Better use extra soft dirt and/or sand if you really want a comfortable cushion feel to your pool bottom.Overall, I'm quite satisfied with this product. Besides the fact that I hate the white color, it has met all my expectations. I can recommend this product without any reservations. The white felt may be trimmed away after install, and it does wash with a strong hose spray, so that is a work around to the easily stained or soiled white felt color issue.

Second time I've bought this. ( They generally are pretty gross after a season when you take the pool down.) Glad I followed that review that just said stop your research and buy this one.We've got that awful nut grass that grows through anything. It ruined my neighbor's above ground pool. But this Blue Wave pad keeps the nut grass from growing into our pool.

It is as described, the photo used it a little deceptive if you don’t read the actual description. It is thick enough and easy to put up under our pool for added protection under the extremely thin tarp that came with the pool

So glad we bought those for our 18ft×48 coleman pool. We had alot of root problem where we can only have it. Our first pool we had to throw away because of it. We ended up tilling that spot an throwing this down & it has worked all summer. Wish I would have invested in this sooner. Don't worry about it not covering the ground all the way it sticks out plenty under the pool. We want to put rocks around it next year so u don't see it.

Quality and strong.

Pros-Was easy to lay out and I cut it to size after the pool was placed on it. Cons- It was thinner than I thought it would be and will not be useable for more than one season since it has gotten moldy around the edges and I’m sure will be the same underneath when we take the pool down.Not sure if there is a better option, but will be looking into that next summer.

Product was slightly rough cut and required some trimming, but covered the area correctly.It was very wrinkled at first, but after some time in the sun it relaxed and was pretty smooth after a couple hours.

The picture makes it look like this is two layers, a 'felt' type layer, and a blue vinyl. What you ACTUALLY get is a pretty thin, poorly cut piece of felt. I couldn't return it since I ordered it months ago, and pool season is only starting now.So I put it down, HOPING that it wouldn't do what I know it would do. It did. The underside that I have access to is completely saturated with mold, it's disgusting. If I didn't have a pool sitting on it I'd already have thrown it out.IMHO this is complete garbage, with deceptive advertising.

What everybody is saying is 100% correct it is only one layer. Do not be fooled by the blue second layer as it is simply the liner of the pool. If I were to do this all over again I would make sure that I had a foam pad as the base layer. . It is the best decision for this type of pool

The pad we ordered was very thin in places. I can see my fingers through the material. We bought this pad on referral from a friend who has the same pool as we do and she said she can't feel a thing under her feet as she walks around her pool. We can feel some bumps under the pad. Also, we feel the advertisement is misleading. It show two pieces of material in the picture. When we opened the box and found only the grey material, we thought that the blue material was missing and we were in the process of contacting Blue Wave when I decided to call my friend first. She told me that she only got the grey material as well. Suggestion: Show only the product that the customer will receive to avoid confusion. If you choose to continue with the picture of the liner on top of the pool pad please explain to the public what the picture is showing. Thank you.

Perfect fit for my pool. Picture is misleading. You get only the grey material. The blue material represents your pool linen

This product did not come with the blue vinyl which shows in the picture, I received only the white material, and I sent it back as the material is just going to mildew...actually useless!!!
