In The Swim Solar Pool Cover Review

Find out what are expert team had to say…

Many solar blankets only last a year or two, but the In The Swim 16 Mil Pool Solar Cover is a great cover that will definitely heat your pool, and it will last for years with proper care. There are a few customers who complained that the cover only lasted four years – still longer than the one season average of most covers, but those complaints are few. Luckily, there is an eight year warranty so it can be returned if there is anything wrong with it. The biggest complaint about this cover is that it is heavy and hard to maneuver. This problem can be easily solved by using a solar pool cover reel that will do the heavy lifting for you.

Pool owners who have this cover recommend getting the ultra clear as opposed to a blue cover. They say the thickness and the material really do make a difference when it comes to heating your pool. Satisfied owners claim water temperatures in the 80s, even if the evening temperatures are very low. Other benefits from using this cover are less algae, less chemical use, and durability. People all over the country are using this cover and, even with hot temperatures, they are not having to refill their pools or adjust chemicals, which means the cover is doing its’ job by keeping the evaporation low and the bad stuff out of your pool. As far as the algae is concerned, solar pool covers use the sun’s rays to kill the bad bacteria that cause algae.

There are some unsatisfied customers with this cover, and their concerns are important to keep in mind. After all, the solar pool cover will be for your home and pool. Most comments are in regard to the solar pool cover not lasting the full eight years, but they are happy with the return policy. Other complaints have to do with the heaviness and awkwardness of the solar pool cover, but none of those people have a solar pool cover reel, which would appear to help.

This cover is for in-ground pools or above ground pools. The above ground version is as low as $55.99 and the in-ground version retails for around $100-$200. With covers this cheap that will last for years, you really can’t go wrong.

All in all, this appears to be a solid cover at a good price. If you have or are willing to purchase a solar pool cover reel and want a cover that will outlast most other covers on the market, then this would be a good choice for you.
