Was well worth getting,
December 15, 2008
By krstlwlf
from Oklahoma
|
Pros: Very well made, strong, very easy to put on, stays on with no problems.
Cons: Nothing I have found
"I am very impressed with this top. I read the reviews and decided to try it. I am very happy in the fact that so far it has not torn or even gotten any holes in it at all. We have had some very high winds and with the rain and freezing we have had it has really stood up very well. I will recommend this top to everyone."

Reasonable Product,
December 15, 2008
By ChainsawGranny
from Owensboro, KY
|
Pros: reasonable pricing
Cons: material is a little lighter weight than expected
"When ordering know exactly what you want and the size that you need because I've ordered the wrong items in the past based on the pictures. The pool cover I've purchased is reasonably priced but the material is a little thinner than I would like. I had ordered a pool cover in the past but it only lasted 2 winters. A small tree branch ripped a hole in the first pool cover. If it were a heavier grade material I don't think this would have occurred. Overall, the product is good for the price. If you have no trees or other objects that will blow onto the cover it should perform properly."

Better than expected!,
December 14, 2008
By POOLGIRL96
from Missouri
|
Pros: Durable and easy to put on
Cons: None
"When I purchased this cover it was at a good price and cheaper than one I had previous(that did not last all winter).
I received and had my doubts because it didn't seem very sturdy but I thought I've already got so.. Well, it's been on since September and it held up really well. No tears or rips it's doing a great job even with ice on it. So I'm pretty pleased."

does not fit,
December 8, 2008
By Foxtrotter
from Tamassee SC
|
Pros: nothing
Cons: cheap, cheap, cheap!
"There's nothing good to say about this cover. The cover that is supposed to fit a 24' round pool is way too small. Within a week of putting on the cover and trying to secure it with the 8' water tubes end-to-end, the wind blew it off and dumped nasty leaves and debris into our pool. Now we have a mess!! The cover is thin and the grommets began to tear out as we were pulling the cover over onto the pool. I can't believe they even sell something that is this low in quality! This is the second item I have bought from In The Swim that was of extremely poor quality."

good purchase,
November 27, 2008
By waymore
from Hampton, TN

Pros: tough cover
"We have a very windy fall season. We ordered a 16x35 cover it has held up really well considering the 25 to 40 mph winds we have had this fall. I ordered my first cover to small and had to return it in exchange it for the bigger cover. The return process was easy and not a hassle at all. I really appreciate the speed and no questions asked return policy in the swim has. Thanks for helping me, and I will only buy my pool supplies from in the swim. I would advise everyone to do business with in the swim."

Love my cover,

By waterbaby
from Walla Walla, Washington
|
Pros: Low in price
Cons: not clear on the directions how to secure it to the top of pooll
"So far, I'm pleased with the cover but when I went to wrap the cable around the pool I realized it would be more secure putting the cable under the poles instead of outside the poles to keep the wind from blowing inside the pool."

Not a Bad Buy for the Money,
November 27, 2008
By PoolGuru
from Kansas
|
Pros: Cost not as high as other covers
Cons: May only last 1 or 2 seasons
"We've been using this cover for several years now and find that for the price, it's not a bad cover for 1 or 2 seasons. I like to use a new cover every year so it's well worth the price!"

Cheap but worth it !!,
November 27, 2008
By Poolwoman
from Stamford,Ct
|
Pros: It was easy to install
Cons: The tarp is a little thin, could be heavier
"I live in the north east, and the winters are hard. We get a lot of winds blowing all winter. The tarp tends to blow off no matter what you do. This cover is cheap and easy to put on. I have also have had over the years the higher priced covers, but this one does the trick."

Pros: the only pro was the price
Cons: only lasted a month and a half
"we bought the cover and put it on the first week in sept. it is the second week in nov. and the cover keeps flying off everytime the wind blows hard and the cable has broken. so we had to rig it to keep it on. we also bought chemicals which we are pleased with but now since the cover keeps blowing off we are woundering if the chemicals are going to do any good."

"We used this cover on our new oval pool.
The cover was a little tight. In early spring it shredded along one side. For the price I thought it should have lasted longer."

economy winter cover,
September 29, 2008
By Tnfamily
from Tennessee
|
Pros: cheap easy to use fast shipping
Cons: only use it one year and no more
"This winter will make the 3rd year we have used this cover. It will only last 1 year, but that's fine cause we just trash it since they get so nasty from the leaves and junk. our pool is a 24 foot and we've always ordered a 24/27 foot and it works great.
one year ours did spring a hole and leaked a little bit of trash in the pool, but we got a full refund. We ordered another cover that fall and it was fine."

Don't buy this and be very careful when ordering,
September 27, 2008
By lovestoswim
from KY
|
"This particular cover has only a 1-yr full guarantee, well guess what, it only lasted 1 year. It developed a hole during the second year so I did not qualify for full refund. Also, the on-line catalog is misleading because I needed a cover for a 24" round pool and when the order says 21' round/24" round one would assume it would fit either. The heading at the top is out of sight on the computer screen that says this is for a 21" pool."

Disappointed,
September 21, 2008
By PrimevalWench

Cons: Size is not as stated
"I have not had this cover in place long enough to rate its quality, but the size was most definitely not what I ordered. It barely extends six inches past the sides of the pool (and this is when stretched tight) when it should have three foot of slack to work with."

Worst Cover Ever!,
September 9, 2008
By babypazoo
|
Pros: None
Cons: Everything
"I've been a very satisfied In The Swim customer for many years. But, if this cover is 18' round, I'll eat it. 6" too short to even reach the edges to secure.
I use 2 covers to close (one is the Armor Cote for underneath) and the other for a top cover with innertubes in between. The Armor Coat went on, trouble free, placed the tubes but couldn't get this cheapy cover to extend to all sides of the pool. As I said, 6" too short.
Looks like I will have to purchase another cover and use this piece of junk for something else."

Inferior product,not up to In The Swim standards,
September 5, 2008
By dcharles
from Eastern Pa.
|
Pros: lightweight
Cons: poor grommet attachment,shrinkage,not the size stated
"I have bought many fine products from In The Swim...this is a loser.I would suggest buying a better grade cover.I know I will after this one shreds itself to junk when the winter wind starts..I never knew this material would shink.After putting this cover on it became as tight as a trampoline.It says it is 27 ft dia but 25 ft would be more accurate.I always thought things expanded in the heat of the sun? I am not trying to give In The Swim a bad rap.As I said,I ave bought many fine products here and this is the first stinker I ever got from them."
