Pool Mate 351840RPM Winter Pool Cover, Heavy-Duty Blue, 18 x 40 ft Inground Pools

For 23 years we had an expensive mesh cover for our inground pool, complete with a strap system that went into the concrete. It was a top of the line cover that degraded over time. But even when it was in decent shape my pool was ALWAYS DIRTY in the spring, filthy dirty in fact! It would take two weeks to clean and filter that pool, TONS of chemicals to get it balanced, etc. I would have to take out the filter grids a couple of times and clean them of the filth and algae. It was nuts.Last year my husband finally talked me into throwing that old cover out and we bought this pool cover because economically we didn't have the funds to buy a system similar to our old expensive one. THANK GOODNESS we didn't waste the money!! This cover system is PERFECT!!! We opened the pool today after the first winter with this cover and we were shocked - literally shocked!! The pool water was picture perfect, just like it was the day we closed it. We literally could swim in it today. It's mind blowing.Don't hesitate to buy this cover. It lasted through the winter just fine. We bought a submersible pump that we used to remove any water from the top of the cover whenever it built up over the winter, and that was simple as well. This cover saved me more time and money and effort than I can adequately explain. GREAT value. Thank you!

The cover is good but it’s not folded for easy installation I had to unfold in the driveway before covering pool

On my second winter with this cover and it still remains unbroken, seals my pool away from the elements and saves me so much work. I shock pool and circulate right before putting cover on for the winter. When I pulled this thing off last year the pool was crystal clear underneath exactly as I left it. You do need a submersible pump or some method to drain the water off the top of this thing when you are ready to pull it off. Also need water weights to hold the sides down. While it is not required I definitely recommend a leaf net to go on top of this guy, otherwise at the end of the winter when you go to pull this cover off you are going to be fighting with about 300lbs of wet leaves with no real way to separate them from the water without getting it all in the pool. I learned the hard way last summer!

Enormous waste of money and an even bigger waste of plastic or whatever this thing is made of. I purchased in August of 2024, opened the package and installed on my inground saltwater pool in November of 2024, and took it off the pool last week (April 2025.) It had water sitting on top for most of the winter no matter how frequently I pumped it off. Now that it’s off and I can see it up close, there are little holes and tears everywhere.Terrible quality. Never again.

Very thin, lasted for two month.Had to replace it with the premium pool cover from the same manufacturer.That’s a good product

I like the fact that it's durable,strong and that it had the part to put the tubes in to hold it down in place, I bought a size bigger than my pool since I had a bad experience with another one ,my pool is a standard 15x32 pool so I bought a 16x36and it's a bit too big but it still looks good. I really bought it to help keep the frogs away and from them laying trillions (lol)of eggs in the pool and the first day I cover the pool it rained so hard ,the next morning I got up to see if the frogs was able to find their way in and nooooo they did not,so yes Im content with the product so far.

Excellent product. Iffy on the delivery date - was initially going to be WAY pass due date of closing a pool in Michigan where it snows, rains, and blizzards! However, it miraculously showed up earlier! Good product and decent price. Would buy again.

Pool cover is pretty good. It is really large for my pool but it does the job. Also please note that the weights shown in the picture aren't provided just the pool cover!
