SO FAR SO GOOD,
December 15, 2008
By TheRufrom michigan
Pros: The dog doesn't eat them like the water tubes Cons: could be bigger
"we tried because the dog seemed to love to chew on the water tubes. actually they work pretty well. . It's the middle of winter now, and so far I haven't had any problems with the lids. They stack and store a lot easier than the tubes. overall I would say it is a good product."

Aqua Blocks,
November 27, 2008
By dk1820from Long Island, NY
Pros: easy to use, easy to store don't lose water Cons: a little more expensive than water bags
"I searched the internet and stores and found the price here is the best for the aqua blocks. This product is better than water bags because they don't break and don't need to be replaced as often. They stack for easy storage and retain the water all winter long. Much easier to setup and fill than water bags. Great produt."

Fast and easy to install,
October 21, 2008
By CaptBobfrom Clarksville, TN
Pros: Compared to "water bags" much more durable. Cons: Could be a little longer in size to engage more cover loops.
"Took 1/3 the time to install. They nest in a very small space for storage and are very easy to handle."

Good Value,
September 27, 2008
By Customer1from Portland ME
Pros: More durable than the tubes Cons: Lost a few to cracking over the years
"Pound for pound these are better than tubes. Prior to purchasing the aquablocks, we were constantly replacing tubes. We've been using the blocks for about 7 years now and I just tossed 4 (out of 28) this year."

worst puchase ever,
September 6, 2008
By Terrifrom Mystic, CT
Cons: not heavy enough to hold pool cover in place
"Terrible! These did not hold our pool cover in place (we got 12) and as rain and snow mounted the pool cover was dragged into the pool along with some concrete blocks, damaged our liner, pool full of debris. A total disaster. These blocks weigh much less than a water tube. The covers do not stay on and blow around the yard. I would not recoomend this product. It seems like a good idea, but is not worth the cost."

So much easier and sturdier than water tubes,
August 28, 2008
By Violafrom Westchester, NY
"We struggled with water tubes for years. Half of them leaked out over the winter due to the chewing of squirrels (we are in the forest), age, sun--whatever. Aqua blocks are easy to fill and stay put for the whole winter. Over 5 years, we have lost only 2 lids due to cracking. A much more economical approach for us."

Good Purchase,
May 6, 2008
By Meashfrom NC
Pros: Easy to fill and clean Cons: Lid does not stay on
"This was the first winter we used this product and we will never go back to the water tubes again. These are so much easier to set up, fill and clean than the tubes. The lids do not stay on, however we put a heavy rock on top to prevent the lids from blowing off and that worked fine for us. I use a scrub brush to wash off the spring pollen and had all 6 cleaned up in less than a 1/2 hour. Except for the lid, we are very happy with this purchase."

Do not reccommend,
October 30, 2007
By mmboyfrom Portland, OR
Pros: Reusable Cons: Light weight material, brittle, non flexible
"Out of 6, 1 came with a broken lip and crack down the side. This is due to thier rigid plastic contruction. If their were flexible like rubbermaid then these would have been actually made for the job. Plastic is thin material. I don't expect the others to last."

Does the job,
August 15, 2007
By Wheels
Pros: Keeps the pool cover in place Cons: Lid blows off; normally lose 3-4 every time the wind blows
"Not sure why the lid catches are not more secure... They need a bit more plastic in each catch to hold the lid properly. Often, the catching mechanism is so flimsy that it's difficult to know when the lid is actually locked in place."
