Intex Solar Pool Cover for 10ft Frame or Easy Set Pools #29021, #28011

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.

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.

This is probably my 5th or 6th solar cover. They tend to go extremely brittle and break up and need replacing every 2, maybe 3 years, that is based on around 2 months usage per year. I have had Intex solar covers before but this one does feel thinner than usual. I have a 12ft steel frame Intex pool and the 12ft cover fits perfectly. This does work, however, remember to keep the pump off during sunlight hours, otherwise, if you put yr hand in the top of the pool, you'll think the cover isn't working but, it's just because the pump is spreading the heat throughout the pool. I prefer to keep the pump off, after a short time in the sun, stick your hand in and feel the warmth! All in all, definitely good to both heat yr water and stop debris from entering the water. When removing the cover, I fold mine like a triangle, over and over, and leave somewhere clean until you place back on the surface of pool

Bought this for our 12ft Bestway Steel Frame Pool. Living in Scotland I didn't hold out much hope for it heating the pool, but it does a really good job. On sunny days the water under the cover is nice and warm to a depth of 6" or so. An hour or so before the kids get in the pool I "agitate" the water under the cover to mix the warmer upper layers with the cooler lower water. This raises the temperature of all the water slightly, but with the cover still on, the upper 6" heats up again quite quickly, agitate, repeat, agitate etc. The overall effect is a much warmer pool than last year when the kids constantly complained that the pool was too cold to swim in. First world problems eh!? Anyway, I am really pleased with the efficiency of the cover and would recommend. As others have said, it is just blue bubble wrap when all is said and done, but I am glad I bought it and so are my children.

Item spot on but Evri as courier is the problem

I was amazed at the difference this made. Now I'm in England and we've just has the best summer, actually we're still having it really, but its not as good as it has been but when it was el scorchio! we had the big pool out and found that its cover had died over the course of the three years it'd been in the loft of the shed, I think the mice liked it too much so a new one was needed. I thought, and if I'm honest part of me still thinks that this is simply a sheet of blue plastic with bubble-wrap stuck to it. In fact thinking about it now as I write this review I think I can confidently say this is a piece of blue plastic with bubble-wrap stuck to it, but it works really well and makes a huge difference to the temperature of the pool, so much so that when you got in you could feel the warmer water at the top of the pool and the cooler water at the bottom. I liked it... in fact I liked it a lot and used to try and get it with out mixing the water around to much; I'm seeing someone about that now and feel much better now, just in case you were worried. So, if you're looking for something to keep the leaves out, that actually warms the pool like it says it does and might or might not be simply a sheet of blue plastic with bubble-wrap on one side then you've found what you're looking for. (where else would you go to buy blue bubble-wrap anywho?) Buy it, its good

Abit disappointed it isn't as per the picture in the advert, in the picture the bubbles look harder Looks a lot more sturdier, but just like others have mentioned it is basically just bubble wrap, apart from it being blue I do 100% believe a similar colour bubble wrap could be just as effective and maybe cheaper. Seems alot for just blue bubble wrap with a intex stuck on logo. But I have put it on pool today, it is sunny at the moment but I have converted a Lay Z Spa pump to heat my pool, and have had my 12ft upto 31c with only the standard covers so will see now if this cover comes close to that considering that's what it is made for, I will edit this in a couple of days and update on heat levels. EDIT: 25th June 2020 Well yesterday I put it on my pool late in afternoon as didn't arrive until later on but it was still sunny, yesterday it actually heated the pool to 30c without my Lay Z Spa heater going. Over night it dropped down to 27c which is fine, we had another hot day today and I went out, came back a few hours later and the pool was heated upto 32c YES 32c so this fancy bubble wrap does work to some degree. My next test for it will be on a cooler day to put my Lay Z Spa on heat and see if the actual cover keeps the pool warm or is it literally only heated with the sun.

Absolut rubbish, have bought solar covers for my pools for 20 years and never have I had one fall to pieces like this one. We had a difficult job just removing it as it fell to pieces and I have just spent an hour with the net fishing out bits of plastic. Tip to get it out of the pool I folded it and put a plastic sheet under and my husband and i lifted the wet soggy mess onto our decking. I gave it one star as it did heat the pool this Summer

I'm on my third Intex pool cover. It will keep your pool warmer since less heat will leave the surface. Since I track the pool temperature I have seen a clear difference with and without the cover. During the night the temperature does not drop as much as without the cover. The bad thing is that it will not last more than 2 summers. The plastic will break down by sun or the clorine (not sure) and the cover will fall apart.

Ho acquistato questo telo termico da 366 cm per la mia piscina Intex e devo dire che è un prodotto veramente efficace. Rispetta pienamente la descrizione e aiuta concretamente a gestire la temperatura dell'acqua in modo naturale. I punti di forza: Capacità di Riscaldamento: Utilizzo il telo durante il giorno lasciandolo a diretto contatto con l'acqua dopo aver rimosso la copertura superiore. Ho notato che lo strato superficiale si scalda gradualmente in modo molto evidente. Sinergia con la Pompa: Per ottimizzare il calore, aziono la pompa filtro così da mescolare l'acqua calda in superficie con quella più fredda sul fondo, ottenendo una temperatura omogenea e piacevole per il bagno. Facilità di Gestione: Il telo è leggero e semplice da posizionare o rimuovere; galleggia autonomamente grazie alla sua struttura a bolle. Riduzione dell'Evaporazione: Oltre a scaldare, funge da ottima barriera contro l'evaporazione dell'acqua durante le ore più calde e aiuta a mantenere la piscina più pulita dai detriti volatili. In sintesi: Tutto ok! Un acquisto azzeccatissimo per chi vuole godersi la piscina con qualche grado in più senza costi energetici aggiuntivi. La qualità Intex è una garanzia e il funzionamento è semplicissimo.

Impeccable

Arrivée en 3 jours et juste parfaite !

Potencia el uso de la piscina enormemente. Consigue elevar la temperatura del agua varios grados (mantiene la temperatura por la noche, y de día tiene efecto invernadero: la capa superficial del agua se calienta enormemente, y luego la mezclas con el resto al nadar). Como flota, es facilísimo de extender y recoger (incluso una sola persona para el diámetro de 4,60m) y ello facilita extender encima la cubierta de protección (la que llaman “de invierno”), lo que de otra manera es incómodo porque la de protección no flota). Con esa combinación, además la piscina se mantiene limpia: ¡consigues olvidarte prácticamente del limpiafondos! Yo le paso la fregona a la de protección cada 2 o 3 semanas. Volveré a comprar el cobertor sin dudar: solo ha durado una temporada de verano (a la siguiente se ha empezado a descomponer y va soltando trocitos y rajándose: Va a resistir el verano, pero al límite). Es triste comprarlo en plan “usar y tirar”, pero es que las alternativas que tienen 4, 5, o 6 veces el espesor del plástico de este, cuestan entre 5 y 7 veces más… y sin embargo no tengo nada claro que puedan durar 5 o 6 años: ¡sigue siendo un plástico susceptible de degradarse, sometido a condiciones adversas de agua y químicos y acción solar!… Además: igual rompes antes otra parte vital de la piscina y te quedas con un cobertor carísimo para nada, así que en conclusión: consumir uno de estos cobertores cada una o dos temporadas parece lo más inteligente.
