Blue Wave 8-Year 28-ft Round Above Ground Pool Winter Cover

We have always had to buy a new cover, every Autumn for the pool. By the time Spring comes around, the covers have rips, tears and are not worth saving. We bought this Autumn 2023 and took it off the pool, May 2024. This is the first cover that we were able to put away for another season! We will be putting back on the pool Autumn 2024. Happy that we don't have to buy another one!!

No issues, material is not as thick as others, but serve the purpose.

I have a 21' above ground pool so I ordered the 21' cover. The cover is actually 25' in diameter so it fits my pool perfectly with plenty of overhang even with an air pillow underneath it.Be aware that you get what you pay for. This cover is made from run-of-the-mill nylon/polyester mesh fabric with a polyethlene coating (the same as those cheap blue poly tarps from the hardware store). I seriously doubt that this tarp will last more than one or two seasons (my previous cover lasted one season and it was made of the same material).The "8-year" warranty is very misleading. Year 1 is 100% covered, year 2 is 50% off retail, year 3 is 40% off retail, year 4 is 30% off retail, year 5 is 20% off retail, year 6 is 15% off retail, year 7 is 10% off retail, and year 8 is 5% off retail.But, again, this is an inexpensive cover and should get the job done for a season or two. It fits perfectly and I'm happy with my purchase.UPDATE 10/31/2014=================The cover worked well for one winter season. We removed the cover in the Spring, hosed it off, and stored it in our crawl space until this Autumn. We closed down our pool and re-installed the cover about a month ago. We noticed that there was always a layer of water on top of the cover even after we pumped it dry. We just figured it was rain or dew buildup, but after a dry spell there was still a lot of water on top of the cover. We ended up buying another (same) cover and spent a great deal of time siphoning off the water and removing the old cover to install the new cover. While doing this we noticed lots of tiny holes in the old cover which is how the water was seeping on top. We got the new cover installed and everything is good now.Bottom line: the cover that we purchased a year ago only lasted one season. We're now on our second cover and we expect it to only last one season as well. This cover is pretty inexpensive so you get what you pay for.UPDATE: 09/19/2016=====================================I've now gone through THREE of these covers. The first two each lasted about two seasons (which, honestly, is what I was expecting). But the third cover didn't even make it through one season. A few months after covering our pool, the weave began to separate and water would leak up through the cover. Very poor quaity in my opinion. Third time's the charm, we will not order this over again.

I have ordered 2 winter pool covers from blue wave with an 8 year warranty. The first cover lasted 3 years I didn’t make a warranty claim and purchased a new cover I didn’t realize it was from blue wave again. The second over with its 8 year warranty worked the first year but the second year the cover started to degrade and my pool was filthy when I opened it in the spring. Blue wave asked for pictures to see how bad it degraded you could see through the cover And offered me a way claim gave me no money. Instead they offered me a new cover at a price which is more expensive than the advertised cover price on amazon. Blue wave has a terrible product and doesn’t honor it’s warranty

Worked great easy to install.

It's heavy duty. It's waterproof but when it rains cover does sag a little bit and water sits on top so could be a issue when removing. Does take 2 people to remove or it falls in. It does keep about 80 percent of dirt out.

This winter cover works and is very nice for the price. Works as good as an expensive one.

Hasn't been on long but seems to be good

Very good quality.

Perfect!

The cover for a 24-foot pool actually does fit well on a 24-foot pool with abundant material to cover properly. Be aware, the mechanism to secure the line is cheap and breaks easily. It does not have the durability of a clothesline mechanism. Handle delicately or replace with a more durable version before installing the cover.

Extremely well made well proportioned

The grommets, thin red coated wire and tightener do their job to keep the cover in place
