Harris C.R.S. Heat Retention Solar Covers for Above Ground Swimming Pools | Retain Sun/Solar Heat by Lowering Your Evaporation Rate Up to 75% | (18' Round, Heavy Series Blue)

It was a little difficult to unroll, so be careful not to pull apart too quickly. Overall very satisfied, love the price and it is as durable as most the higher priced ones I have purchased in the past.

I had been jumping from one manufacture to another over the last several years for my cover needs. this is the first one that has made it past 1 season of use and is still in good enough shape that I won't have to replace it until next season. 2 years out of one solar cover. I have had some not make it 4 months before needing to be replaced. I will definitely be purchasing this brand again for next season. Plus I like supporting small business, the back bone of America.

It’s thick and heavy and warms the water well but doesn’t have any drainage holes so when it rains the water just sits on top and if I don’t get it off right away it turns to slime and smells bad.

We've had quite a few clear solar covers before. They all generate far more heat than the dark covers.Having said that, this one is by FAR the best we've had. My wife never complained once about the pool temperature. I definitely noticed the pool was warmer, and we didn't even have a hot summer. What's amazing too is the fact that we have a lot of trees on the property and only get about 3-4 hours of sunlight. Apparently, the reason for the higher heat output is the micro-bubbles. Whatever. It works!All talk of getting a pool heater has ended!

Good product for the price. Pleased with the quality and it came very quickly!

I honestly have no idea how sturdy it will be, or was it a good buy for the money - I have not had it that long. I can tell you that when you first use it - be sure to have 2 people unless you want to make yourself crazy. Once you take it on and off a few times, the cover gets easier to manipulate. It has gone from an hour to about 15 mins. My experience is that it only warms about the top 2 inches of water, which is not what I was expecting - but it keeps a lot of junk out of the pool.

I thought for the price it would have been a tougher/more durable product. My biggest issue was with the packaging. They package it completely opposite of how the cover goes on the pool. As you roll it out and unfold the cover, it is completely backwards of the way it should sit on the pool. As I am trying to maneuver a 24 foot cover by yourself, it ripped (2 spots) just from pulling on it a little bit.

We purchased the 21ft round cover and it is definitely bigger than 21 round, but that's ok with us. The solar cover is stiffer than we expected, but that's a good thing. The "bubbles" are smaller than any other solar cover we've previously had and seem to pop a bit easier. We really only use the cover the first couple weeks until the pool warms up. After that, we'll use the cover if we know that bad storms are coming through and it helps to keep a lot of crap out of the pool. For the price we paid, we couldn't beat it. We'll be happy if we can get 3 seasons out of it.
