Intex Easy Set 8-Foot Pool Cover Review

There are holes in the cover (for ventiation I guess) and they let stuff in including water. The water eventually fills up on top of the cover & then the cover becomes to heavy to pull off without all the junk that has landed on top of the pool cover going in too. Also, by having the pool covered and the fact that the "filtration system" isn't too swift (to keep the water moving), algae & mildew form in the pool. So, I think I'm just going to try a small swimming pool net instead.

This is a great pump.It works really well for large swimming pools, but when an internal part broke.It is not possible to purchase replacement parts.Unfortunately, the impeller on mine broke and is not covered under warranty.The manufacturer replied very quickly to my emails, but did not answer my calls.In the emails, they stated that they do not sell just the parts and told me that I should just buy a new one.Not sure if I'm going to buy this one again, since I've only had it for a year.I just wish they sold the replacement parts, because it is a great pump.

Round Solar Pool Blanket Review

Round Solar Pool Blanket

Our pool is in shade most of the morning, so the water temperature used to seldom get above 80F, and even that on only a few of the hottest days of the year.That's not really comfortable for quiet lounging with a book, though to justify the cost of the pool I would force myself to do so anyway :)

Putting this cover on has made all the difference!The water is regularly over 86F now and it's not even July yet.Even my husband, who had only used the pool like three times since we bought it, gets in with me now.

The main thing it does is prevent losing heat overnight.It used to be that the pool was only ever warm on days that followed very hot nights.Now that we are leaving this cover on over night, the water that gets warm during the day, stays warm, so that by the time the sun hits the pool the next day, it adds to the temperature instead of just replacing lost heat again.

The material really is very sturdy - not your average bubble wrap, but much thicker, and also a pleasing shade of blue.It sticks to the surface of the water like a suction-cup in a wind-storm (we've had several since we bought it) but rain doesn't accumulate on top and sink it.I was also pleased to find that cutting the material to fit around the pool steps does not void the warranty.

Our pool has very good circulation, so the temperature is even from the surface to the bottom.I have had no problem with running the pump with the cover on - it doesn't get sucked into the skimmer or anything like that.One thing I was concerned about was that the chlorine floater would not be able to move around, and that a buildup of chlorine in one spot would damage the liner, but when the pump is running the chlorine floater bobs about all around underneath it just as it would without the cover, so that's good, too!

The only drawback is that this cover - we have the 21' round - is pretty heavy, and is very hard for just one person to put on or remove unless they actually get inside the pool to do it.But since I'm usually removing it so that I can get into the pool, it's not really that big an inconvenience.
