OK for price,
June 17, 2008
By AboveGroundInNevada

Pros: Price
Cons: Quality
"This is basically a "disposable" cover that is only good for 1 or 2 seasons. It tears easily, falls apart (blue spots in the pool and filter), and is somewhat hard to manage if you don't have a storage device. I continue to re-order it because it is cheap. If you are looking for something that is durable, this is definitely NOT it. If you don't mind replacing it every year or two, it does the job for a reasonable price."

solar cover disappointment,
April 20, 2008
By Juju
|
Pros: Ups the pool temp
Cons: Does not last
"I agree with several of the other reviews, I purchased this cover in mid 06 so I didn't use it til 07. When I was rolling it onto my reel, I noticed that all the bubbles were collapsed. They hadn't started falling off yet but if the season was longer they probably would have. I'm hoping with all the negative reviews In-the-swim will improve the quality but somehow maintain the price."

Barely lasted 2 years,

Pros: It did what it was supposed to do
Cons: Blue circles falling off the cover in it's 2nd summer
"I got real tired of removing blue circles from the water every day. My swimming season in northern Indiana is only 3 1/2 months No problems during the year we purchased cover, which was 2006. This year the blue circles began falling off early in the season. The edge of blanket has a couple little tears in it. There's a defect when a blanket that's warranteed for 3 years starts to fall apart in less than 2 years. I will continue to purchase from "In The Swim" since this is the first time I've been dissatisfied. I don't think I'll buy the same cover again. Hopefully they have one that will last at least the length of the warranty."

average for the price,

Pros: light weight, keeps the pool temp. over night, nice color.
Cons: ripps very easy
"I have bought this product several times. It works for the pool temp. but does not hold up. It is also hard to clean and stains easily. I would still purchase it again because the price is right. You might get 3 years use out of it at the most."

Cons: Didn't last long
"I purchased my in 10/05 so I only used it for all of 06 and here it is in August of 07 and it is falling apart. Blue circles all over my pool and it is ripping. I'm calling about the warranty because it is supposed to have a 3 year warranty."

Response from In The Swim:
By
Customer Service Team,
May 16, 2007
Upon reviewing this matter we found that the customer's account had been credited for the remainder of the product's pro-rated warranty in 2006. This credit can be used at any time toward the purchase of a new solar blanket. We have contacted the customer via email to inform them of this information.
