Intex 28012 - Thermal Pool Cover Easy Set/Round Frame, Polyethylene, Blue, 366 cm

I was really dubious about this pool cover, given some of the negative rewiews. But given there where some positive reviews I decided to take the plunge... (Pun intended)On receiving the solar cover I noticed the packaging states it is 11'5" in diameter, so I was tempted to return it immediately as I wrongly assumed this would not fit a 12" Bestway steel frame pool... But it does!The quality of the bubble wrap (be under no illusion it is just blue bubble wrap) is far superior than would ordinarily be used for packaging, I guess this what is ment by "high-micron". It's very strong and will not tear easily, additionally is has several coin size holes in it so the air can escape and water can after on top to be heated. I had the pool setup for just less than a week before this cover arrived and it seems much warmer now with a consistent water temperature of 24 degrees centigrade. Over all I'm very pleased with this cover and feel it does represent good value for money given the quality and square meterage of the product.Pro-tip: For removing, storing and applying the cover use a 3m PVC waste pipe, this allows one person to roll the cover off and on. You might want a smaller pipe to help (like a 2m pvc electrical conduit) to help get it in position if applying on your own). These pipes are only a few £s from you local diy store. Amazon may sell them to, but given the length of the pipes I imagine the postage would make them noncompetitive.

Cette bâche a été achetée pour une piscine Intex tubulaire de 3.66m de diamètre. Elle s'y adapte très bien.Son installation est relativement aisée : une personne seule peut le faire.La bâche glisse sur l'eau sans aller se mettre en dessous.Il faut bien faire attention à mettre les bulles sur le dessous et à laisser le logo Intex sur le dessus : ce sont les bulles d'air qui chauffent l'eau.Nous utilisons cette bâche également la nuit pour protéger l'eau des feuilles et bestioles qui adorent prendre un bain la nuit ;)Lorsque le soleil tape, le dessus de l'eau et vraiment chaud. Ne pas espérer cependant que toute la piscine soit chauffée.Cela procure malgré tout une sensation de chaleur en rentrant dans l'eau.Au final pour le prix nous en sommes satisfait.La sacoche de rangement sera pratique pour être à l'abri des souris cette hiver.Rien à redire(cliquez sur utile si ce commentaire vous a aidé)

Si alguien me hubiera dicho, antes de comprarlo, que era un simple plástico de burbuja como el que se utiliza para proteger objectos dentro de sus cajas, teniendo en cuenta el precio no lo hubiera creído. Pero sí, es así. Un plástico de burbuja de esos que tanto gusto da petar por la asombrosa cifra de 18 euros... Creo que en la vida había hecho una peor elección... me siento avergonzado por haber comprado semejante ... mamarrachada... Espero que este comentario llegue a mucha gente para evitar el chasco de comprar un plástico de burbuja a precio de caviar y, por supuesto, que alguien se enriquezca de ello.

We've only had our pool up for 2 weeks in a spell of lovely weather and unfortunately since then the glorious British summer has been mainly wet, windy and cold! However this cover is the best one i've ever had, it's easy to put on and take off and during the very brief spells of sunshine definitely warmed the water a little. I hope when the weather improves the difference in water temperature will be even better. It also stayed firmly in place through wind and rain so i think it's had a pretty good first outing so far. My pool is 12ft and the original cover we had that went over the pool never fitted properly, came off in the wind and thus kept nothing out of the water. This is a vast improvement and i would highly recommend. I've read reviews that have said it's flimsy and tore, my experience is that it probably is flimsier then other covers, it is just glorified bubble wrap, but even if it only lasts one summer for the price i wont complain.

As like most people have said this is just Bubble packing stuff although does seem a bit thicker. It comes in a nice zipped bag which might be a pain to get back in. I read a lot of reviews from sites saying that these covers do make a difference so thought I would give it a go. Unfortunately the pool thermometer that I ordered arrived after this so can't confirm exactly what difference it has made. I can say with 30degree c heat we have had the water is around 17degree c which is still quite cold. The main problem I have is trying to get it off and on the pool worrying that I'm going to pop the bubbles. It's also worth noting that there is a slight gap around the edges but this is normal.
