Pros: a cheap cover for emergency only spend a little extra for something more durable
Cons: poorest construction and materials will not last one season
"Bought this cover for the price, but the grommets have pulled out over the winter and there are already some holes in the cover. Good for a cheap emergency cover only. Will not last. Very very poor materials and construction. My last pool cover lasted 15 years, this cover lasted one year only."

Worked Perfectly,

from Lower Alabama
from Lower Alabama
Pros: Water Tubes worked great and the cover stayed in place
Cons: Ripped over 2vstep rails but that was expected but cover stayed in place
"We just uncovered the pool here in lower Alabama, May 28, 90's lately. The water tubes never moved, the cover never moved and the water is crystal clear. No algae, no leaves, I love this cover. Can be handled by 2 of us oldsters and it's a big cover. Price was very reasonable for such a large cover and it's in good condition for next covering.
The cover did rip because we had to drape it over the 2 swim ladder rails but we thought it would. The cover still remained in place. Great Product. Thank you.

Pros: They last pretty much like the waranty states.
Cons: When they decide to go they go .
"I have ordered several covers over the years and they last like the warranty states. also the 3'' chlorine tablets have been the best buy from all the places that I have checked. I have enjoyed using the free shipping and the 10$ off cupon that comes in time to time. I recommend the use of IN THE SWIM to all the people i know that have pools."

Great value,

By Mals
Pros: nice weight, holds up several years
Cons: none
"This is the second economy cover we have purchased from In The Swim. It is a good value for the price. We tend to use a cover 3 to 5 years with our often harsh winter seasons. This one does the job!"

Economy pool cover,
Date:May 25, 2009
By Hankmc
from Northeast NJ
from Northeast NJ
Pros: works well at a great price
Cons: none
"As an economy cover this product held up better than covers I paid twice as much for with less grommets that were overall not as well made. It came through the winter with no visible damage and the water is clean. In addition to water bags I use cord to anchor the grommets to tie downs in the concrete and these held up without tearing out. The only downside is that I wish I found this years ago before spending so much on 10 year junk covers that lasted two years. Thank you."

A good cover for the money,
Date:November 27, 2008
By Gojiro
from Cincinnati, OH
from Cincinnati, OH
Pros: Grommets all around, loops for water tubes, double ply
Cons: Don't know how long it will last
"We got this cover because we couldn't afford to get the safety cover we wanted to get. Nevertheless, this is a pretty decent cover for the money. There are plenty of grommets around the edges, plus loops for the water tubes. Top side is blue, bottom is black to reduce algae growth. I'll know if the latter works in the spring, I guess! All in all, though, a pretty decent cover for the money."

Winter Pool Cover,

from Kingman, AZ.
Pros: Inhibits algae
Cons: hard to keep down
"The pool cover is good, but I couldn't afford to buy the water-filled weights that hold it down. I live in a very windy area, and the pool cover is hard to keep down. Other than that, it does inhibit algae growth, which is a good thing."

Nice cover,

Pros: Sturdy through the winter and stays in place
Cons: Doesn't last 4 years
"This cover is a nice cover, but it does not last the full 4 years. We do buy one of these every year, and it lasts throughout the winter, but that's it. It does stay put and seems sturdy enough. For the price, it's a good deal we figure."

Pros: it's economical
Cons: it does not with stand wind damage
"In less than a month this cover already has a hole in it from a 3/4 in diameter branch that fell on it in a wind storm. Thank you to the neighbors small branch I now have to purchase another cover unless the warranty actually covers it!"
