I purchased this solar cover for use on an Intex 15′ round metal-frame pool.
I had tried to cover the pool with the cover that comes with the pool. But I was unable to get it to stay on, even with two people working at it. The cover that comes with the pool is supposed to fit over the frame and it has a drawstring to hold it in place. It is very heavy and can get filled with water and sink. I was unable to get it on the pool by myself – as I would get one side in place, the opposite side would slide into the water and sink. Also, the water coming out of the filter pushed it around, making it even harder to work with. But even with the filter turned off and the help of a second person, we were unable to get the cover on.
This solar cover, in comparison, is so easy to use! It is very lightweight (it’s essentially a big sheet of heavy-duty bubble wrap). It floats on the water surface. I can easily put it on and take it off by myself. It is sized to fit with a little extra, so even if there are air bubbles trapped under the cover, it still covers the entire water surface. The water coming out of the filter doesn’t move it at all. Any leaves or debris that fall into the pool lay on top and as I pull the cover off they come off with it (where I can remove them) and don’t fall into the water.
Updating my review: I have used the solar cover for one week. Prior to putting the cover on, the pool water temperature was previously around 71-72 degrees on sunny days when the air temperature ranged between highs in the upper 80s / low 90s and lows in the 70s. In the week that the cover has been on, the air temperature only reached highs around 80 and dropped into the low 60s at night yet the water temp went up to 76 degrees. That’s a 4 degree gain in water temperature even though air temperatures had dropped by 10 degrees, and the water temperatures were within about 5 degrees of the high air temps. I am very pleased.
2 notes:
1. The instructions say that you need to remove it if there are going to be high winds, because it can blow off of the pool.
2. It’s not a safety or tear-away cover, so it could potentially cause entrapment and drowning if anyone fell onto it. I remove the ladder and place it away from the pool when this cover is in place.
Excelente
Le queda bien a la Best way easy set de 12 pies (3.66 m) slo se tiene que meter debajo del anillo con un poco de doblez, porque est misma cubierta se usa para las de marco metlico que son ms anchas en el espejo de agua.
El vendedor olvid agregarlo en el envo de varios productos, pero me puse en contacto e inmediatamente me contestaron y enviaron el producto faltante das despus. Excelente atencin y todos cometemos errores, la diferencia es de quien los admite y corrige inmediatamente.
I love this!! I go through covers like crazy. It’s so easy and nice not to take a whole cover off and on because I clean and cover the pool everytime I use it. The cover keeps debris out great. I have this cover on everyday and have had no damage. It has stood up to Missouri tornado season with no issues. I will definitely buy another one if this one gets wore out.
This solar pool cover is the best! I wanted to purchase it last year but it was sold out, and now I understand why. The cover that came with my pool always got too much water on top and sunk. Then, the debris would fall in. This was even with it being tied down around the outside. This one sits on top even with the filter running for over 9 hours. I can pull it off the surface of the water without it falling since it floats. I purchased the 15ft cover for my 15ft pool. It is an easy set so the top circumference is 13ft. I have enough extra cover to tuck under the inflatable ring which then keeps it from blowing off. It also keeps the water temperature warm. After a few weeks of days in the mid 70’s the water temperature went up to 90 degrees. I love this cover!
Update 7/14/26-
The inflatable ring on the top of our easy set pool popped so we had to upgrade to a 15 ft metal frame pool. The cover fits nicely and stays on even in our windy yard. Still love this cover!
Does the job
Even though it’s hot out my pool is cold. This cover dropped the temperature so much in just a few days. It’s a big cover but still light and with the solar cover holders on the side it works great. Definitely recommend!
Pleased with our Intex solar cove
Although it is quite light it is durable and easy to put on the pool. It helps to trap in the warmth and stops debris going in the pool It fits our 15ft circular pool well with a bit to go up the side.
I actually agree with many of the positive reviews — this pool cover does work. It noticeably helped keep my pool cleaner, reduced how often I need to vacuum, and I’ve even used less chlorine shock since using it. So in terms of performance, it delivers.
That said, the durability is a real problem. After a relatively short time, the material started to break down and the bubbles began peeling off — almost like fish scales coming loose. It’s frustrating because the concept is great, but the product doesn’t seem built to last. I bought mine at the beginning of the cold season, and now, 5 months later, I will have to replace it.
If they improved the quality and longevity, this would easily be a 5-star product. Right now, it feels like something you’ll have to replace sooner than expected.
