Blue Wave NS525 Rectangular 18 x 36-ft In-Ground Pools-Clear 14 mil Solar Blanket, 18x36ft Rectangle

So far no complaints exactly as advertised. We have had our pool 19 years and to date I like this solar cover the best for holding the temperature as the nights cool off. Was 55 degrees several times this week but the pool was 88 when I took the cover off each morning, All my previous covers dropped about 6 degrees overnight and this one has not. Don’t know how long it will last but right now it’s great. If it last two years I will be happy and buy again. Very happy with purchase and would recommend.

Good quality materials...unfortunately in our Hawaii location, the UV rays seem to cause disintegration within 15-18 months so needs to be replaced more often than liked. Bummer but we love that it does hold heat and keeps leaves and bugs out of the pool.

I have really enjoyed the cover - It has lasted alot longer than some others I've had but wow - The price has DOUBLED the last couple of years. I understand Bidon-nomics, but wow more than double the price in a couple years is really rough. Will have to wait for a better price to be able to purchase a new one.

I bought my product in August of 2018. It lasted until April of 2022, 3 1/2 years (it started tearing lengthwise. But the bubbles never shed.) I am pretty happy with it as it made the pool about 10-15 degrees warmer, so I could swim longer. Nice and toasty.People complain that this product doesn't last. You have to be okay that this is a non-permanent product that requires replacing. (Think of it like tires on car). But it does work wonderfully until the sun breaks it down.Tip: To make it last longer, keep it out of the sun when it is not in use. (I don't use mine in the winter.) Get a pool reel as the 14 mil thick covers are HEAVY, especially if it is just one person handling it. Thinner coves are easier to handle, but don't last as long. I don't recommend less than 10 mil or the bubbles will flake off quickly.

This has changed our pool for the better! The pool is much more comfortable now. Plus we have lost no water to evaporation all summer!

I have used solar covers for several years. The last two before ordering this one were Blue Wave, so thought I was getting a good cover. I received the cover June of 2023. When I received it, I noticed it really did not seem to be the same quality of the previous covers. But I was late opening the pool, and needed it. Used it for the season July 4th - end of September. In years past, I have left the cover on over the winter, which I know that will shorten the life span of the solar cover, but sill got three seasons out of them. Last year, I didn't do that. I removed the solar cover for the winter. Apparently, I should have left it on. Put it on mid May this year and it disintegrated. It was not just the "bubbles" popping. When I went to put it on the pool and pulled it to get it in the right position on the pool, it fell into pieces in my hands. What a messy nightmare Not a happy customer. I bought a different brand this year.

Easy to trim to fit our pool well and easy to roll on and off. The cover did keep the pool warmer overnight in the winter and saved some heating costs, but we only use this in the winter here in SW Florida. In the summer it was stored, after rinsing and being thoroughly dried, in a dark shed out of the sun. Took it out this week (October) to keep the heat in the pool overnight and the next morning found a skimmer full of 'bubbles' and many many more floating in the pool. That was a real pain to clean and especially annoying since we'd only used it for six months and always stored it properly out of the sun. I'm not sure the warranty is worth anything since shipping would probably be ridiculous. I know they don't last long in Florida but when properly stored and maintained I'd think I'd get more than six months of use.

Good thickness. Warms up the water well and limits evaporation. I had a blue cover before and it was such a bright blue it really stood out, and not in a good way. The clear cover blends in and looks more natural.

Quality looks to be very good. Thick strong plastic with bubbles on one side and the other side flat. Good that it is Canadian made! Price excellent for the quality - better than others that I studied online and in-store. It arrived very quickly and was wrapped well in a 18 x 48 inch roll. It was easy to trim to size with heavy scissors.

Was delivered today, taken out of the box and straight on the pool. Quality is pretty good, better than our last which is galling apart. The seams are good and tight.

Quite stiff as a solar blanket. Let's hope it means a long life. Bought a different unit last year that had a limited 3 year guarantee. It totaly disintegrated after 3 months in the pool this summer. Would have cost more to send for a replacement than the blanket was worth so I bought this unit. Let's see if it's still around next summer. Looks great up to now.

Well worth the money. I was very apprehensive about getting this as my pool is oddly shaped. Cut it into 3 pieces to make taking it off and on easy and fit our pool. Takes less the 5 min to put on and off. It does a great job at keeping the heat in the pool. On cool nights only drops one degree. used to drop over 5 degrees and will heat back up if sunny day. Also much, much less evaporation. So I am glad that I went for the 14 mil and not the 12 mil as is way more durable than I thought. I think if you are thinking about this pay the extra and get the 14 mil instead. I don't have a roller for it and don't need it. My pool is 36 by 18 ft so is large but it is so easy to take this on and off. But not using a roller then cut into smaller pieces. I used Duct tape to mark each piece so easy to know which piece goes where.

Price point was excellent. We also purchased a sun protectant cover. We shall see after a year how it is. We are very happy with the quality as the seams are welded instead of our old one that was stitched and it always collected dirt in the over flap.
