waste of money!!,

Pros: there aren't any!!!
Cons: does not contain any grommets, bag loops are too loose
"This cover is the worst ever. It is only 2 years old and is torn and has holes in it. I bought new water bags last year. I filled them in Oct. By Nov. they were flat. By Dec. they were in the pool. With NO grommets to hold down the cover, half of it was in the pool by Jan. We kept pulling it out and tried to tie it down and put more water on it, but it didn't help. By March, the ENTIRE cover was floating near the bottom of the pool. Pool covers ONLY help if they are covering the pool, not FLOATING in it. This cover is flimsly, poorly made and DEFINATELY not worth the money."

Funally- a durable in-ground cover,
Date:November 27, 2008
By privatepilot

Pros: sewn,not bonded seam-No leaks,Does not puncture when branches fall on it, No holes when birds walk on it to drink,
Cons: None
"This cover is much better than the cheap weak mesh covers they sell in local pool supply stores. Best I've found in 30 years of in-ground pool cover buying. It's lightweight, easily maneuvered onto and off pool. Best feature by far is that it has only a single seam that's double-sewn, not bonded like cheap covers. Water bags are also more durable than pool supply store products. (DON'T FILL THEM ALL THE WAY - ONLY 3/4 FULL, then they wont burst when water inside expands into ice). Not a single water bag failure out of 20+ bags (13 from this year, and some from last year)."

Pros: Easy to install
Cons: Lasted only 4 months
"I purchased the Amor Kote cover for inground pool in November 07 and had to remove it in March 08 due to holes in it.
Don't know the reason for this issue, but have sent the bad sections to In the Swim for review.

Cons: Water tubes did not hold the cover, tubes were not sealed tightly on the edges to hold water in tube
"All my tubes were either busted when they came in or busted when I feeled them with water."
