Do not purchase!,

"Cover arrived with holes, but had to use new cover as pool was closed and we threw away the old winter cover. When we opened the pool in the spring we noticed additional holes in the cover. The pool water was the dirtiest we have seen in the 16 years of owning our pool. Cover was credited per warranty and we are now looking for a new winter cover."

Pros: There is nonthing good about this cover,overpriced
Cons: cheap, thin, no good, fell apart during installation.
"This is in no way a 16 yr cover. I popped grommets putting it on and the fabic is so thin I don't believe it will last the winter. I have wood tarps thicker tha this and didn't pay a fifth of what I paid for this cover."

Great cover,

Pros: lasts long, sturdy, less algae in spring
Cons: none
"I don't know why people rate this so poorly. We just bought our second cover like this. The first one lasted 4 years. We get minimal algae when we open it up in the spring. (I don't winterize, I just close up) The cover is strong enough to hold up to my dogs playing on it every year when we uncover, not to mention all the snow and rain we get in the off season. We don't drain our pool prior to covering. We use a skimmer cover to leave the water lever up higher. Maybe that's where some have trouble? We use something to float under the cover tohelp water drainiage. If the water doesn't sit, it wont rot your cover.
Anyway, does great. We have tried cheaper ones, but I just don't get the wasteful idea of buying a cover each year because I am too lazy to clean a good one. Spread it out in the yard for a few hours, let it dry and fold it up."

Most durable cover I have owned,

Pros: Very durable cover
Cons: None so far
"I purchased this cover 4 years ago and it is still in great shape! I previously had to purchase a new cover every year, but decided to go with a slightly more expensive one, and it has been worth it. We get a lot of rain and snow and I often have a lot of water on top of the cover before I can pump it off. I have been afraid everytime that the cover would rip, but it has help up perfectly! I would definitely recommend this cover to anyone who is needing to purchase one for closing versus one of the lower grade covers. It is definitely worth the money!"

Pros: nothing
Cons: I used 1 year it's no good.I tried getting them to replace it no luck.
"I ordered this for the warranty.But now I find out the warranty don't mean anything.I used this 1 year and it didn't stand up to the sun and weather for the winter.It was in bad shape when I went to open my pool in May after last winter.I have called for a replacement but no luck.So if you are buying for the warranty no luck.This cover just doesn't stand up to the weather and sun."
