5.0 out of 5 stars It does what it needs to do; it covers your pool, August 16, 2002

This review is from: Intex Easy Set 15-Foot Pool Cover (Lawn & Patio)

I've read all the criticism of the Intex pool covers. Most cite the small holes on the pool cover as a big, big problem. Others cite the inability to pull the cover tautly over the pool. Neither criticism is warranted.

Having a few small holes on the pool cover does permit some water to seep into the pool after a rain -- but the holes are small and leaves still won't get into your pool. Having those handy little holes, however, makes removing the cover easy to do EVEN AFTER A RAIN. Without the holes, a potentially large amount of water would rest on top of the pool cover and you'd have to be Superman to lift the water-filled cover from off the pool. Intex wisely added the holes to their pool cover for a good reason.

As for the rope ties -- who needs them? I live less than two miles away from the ocean and we get a strong ocean breeze even at my house, but the pool cover is large enough to easily fit over the pool and stay put, even without making the rope ties taut. I suppose in a gale storm, the cover might come off -- but in a gale storm, you've got bigger problems to worry over. The pool cover stays on the pool just by draping it over the surface of the pool water.

The pool cover keeps debris out of your pool water and helps liquid chlorine to stay in the water longer. If you're worried about evaporating pool water because of those little holes, don't; any evaporation is undetectable.

The other reviews would have been helpful if I had seen them. The picture nor description show that the new product has several small holes and one big hole (with screen)in the center. I had a previous cover (without) holes that worked great. I presume the holes in the new version are to prevent drownings, but no explaination is given. The new version tends to sink, allows water to evaporate, and allows dirt to get into the pool. It is better than nothing, but I prefer the old version. My reaction may have been different if they had bothered to change picture and / or desfription.

This review is from: Intex Easy Set 12-Foot Round Pool Cover (Lawn & Patio)

We've been very happy with the pool cover that we ordered. It fit the pool we have like a glove and has held up so far. It has gotten a bit bleached out color-wise, but that's just from the sun and pool chemicals and doesn't affect the functionality of the cover.

One great thing about it is that it has small holes pre-cut in the cover itself to allow water to pass through. So, when it rains you don't end up with a bunch of water standing on your pool cover.

Overall, we're very happy with it and will continue to buy Intex products.
