I've been keeping the pool covered almost all the time during swimming season with these covers. The wife loves the water in the high 80's and this delivers. This also reduces evaporation and chemical use since it blocks the sun from burning the chemicals off. Now, here's the secret to being able to keep your pool that warm without worry about algae...Ditch the chlorine tablets completely and use liquid chlorine only. Keep ph in check with liquid acid. Been doing this for the last 2-3 years after fighting with tablets for the previous 30 years and it is the bomb. Plus, I only run the filter 2-3 hours per day since that's all that is necessary. The water is perfectly clear with zero algae. With this much cover usage, the covers will last only 2-3 years, but it is well worth it due to over all savings. Almost forgot one other advantage: the cover stops the Polaris from spraying water out of the pool so the sliders don't get wiped out with water stains. Yes, you can buy tail end pieces that stop the spraying, but I've found they don't last.Read full review

OK -- this is an updated review. To note -- I have a self generating salt water in-ground pool. I have had this solar blanket for 1 year and 3 months (AND I stored this thru the winter in my shed -- so it has been outside in my pool for about 7 months total). It is completely shot already. The bubbles on the back have disintegrated into my pool and skimmer. The non-seamed portions of the cover are also bad and when you go to cover the pool -- When I contacted the In The Swim company and sent them pictures of my blue plastic filled skimmers and about the supposed 7 years warranty -- they said, and I quote: "You're swimming pool is OUT OF BALANCE causing the bubble failure". Then: "Is it ripping on the seams? Sorry, that is the only portion of the failure the warranty covers. There is no warranty for your situation". Done. The warranty they promote on these 12 mil covers is really a joke. They glue the living HECK out of the seams to stop failure there, while the remaining plastic off the seams just decomposes. When you pull to cover your pool, the plastic literally tears away in your hands. !!! Be forewarned !!! Buying one of these cover from this retailer is a complete waste of money if you honestly expect to get more than a year from your solar cover. Find a better cover (do your due diligence and research!) and buy it from another retailer other than In The Swim companyRead full review

I've used this blanket before, and want another one. Actually lasts about 2 or 3 seasons before the little bubbles start bursting and getting drawn into the skimmer. But really does the job for heating the pool! I'm going to try covering it with a different cover than the white plastic cover it comes with, and storing it in the shade over the winter. Pretty thick material, does not fall apart at the seams. I'll continue to buy this, can't beat the price for keeping your pool heated during the summer season.

This product is perfect! It was easy to lay out and cut to fit our "curvy" pool. It raised the pool temperature 6 degrees in 2 days! It's easy to pull off and fold at the end of the pool, even by 1 person. So very pleased with this purchase.

Have Purchased several of these over the years Last bout 3 years in SO CAL Sun. Warantee has been good. Did get replacement. Would love it if it came with the bubble on the outside so unpacking and installing would be a lot easier on a large cover.
