PoolTux 7721AU Royal Winter Cover for 18-Feet Round Above Ground Pool

This is a light weight cover. Other reviewers complained about it sinking but if you don't let the edge touch the water it won't. In other words as you remove it or cover the pool fold it over on itself. It won't sink. The jury is still out on the durability since I have only had it a short time, however if it is UV resistant as advertised it should last quite a while. The cable system, while lightweight, does the job. We live in Florida so we don't use it as a winter cover. We remove and cover the pool with each use. The cable has kept the cover on during some pretty strong storms.Update after 6 months. Apparently this cover is not very UV resistant. It is not deteriorating however it must be developing microscopic cracks. Water is migrating from below to the top of the cover. It was beginning to sink into the pool. Came up with an easy solution though. I purchased the "bubble wrap" style solar cover. After putting this on the pool and the cover on top of that everything is fine. I just wonder if I had invested the total spent initially I could have had a better cover in the first place.Update after 11 months. The cover has now deteriorated to the point that there are several baseball size holes in it. Did not even last the full year that it is warranted. Will now check on how to file a claim for a replacement.

I bought this cover because the cover that came with my 15' pool was too small and would never stay on and fall into the pool. To compensate I bought this 18' cover hoping that it would have enough to cover the pool with enough overhang to stay on well. Sure enough there is overhang and then some, it almost touches the ground all around the pool. I should have gotten the 15' version of this for my 15' pool, but it's better to have too much than not enough. I love the wire cord draw string with the ratchet winch, it really tightens down to make sure that the cover will never come off. The only kind of bad think I could say is that the cover itself does feel a little thin and seems like it could tear if it caught on something. The material is comparable to a lower end utility tarp. I would still recommend this to anyone, just be cautious when pulling on the cover.

This thing is great. We have purchased other types in the past and they all failed. This thing has been through a wind storm, rain storm, snow storm and a ice storm and so far this season it has held perfectly. So glad we purchased it. I will admit at first we did have a problem but how we corrected it was we put the tarp on then where the tension wire is pulled tight against the poles we tucked the tarp under it and it has not budged at all. The last few years we fought the pool cover almost everyday keeping it on till summer. This thing is great. About once a month if needed my husband siphones the water off the top of the tarp and checks to make sure the tarp is holding. So far no adjustments have been needed.

This pool cover is horrible. It is very thin and I can already tell it will not last for a month. In April, we ordered a different pool cover, which was also very thin, and it only lasted 3 months and we had to return it and get our money back. So we thought this time we will spend a little bit more money and get a better, stronger pool cover. When we received this PoolTux pool cover in the mail, it was exactly like the previous one. They were both different brands, so I thought they would be different from each other, but absolutely not. So we spent more money to get, what we thought, was going to be a stronger pool cover and it was not.Now we have to just wait for the pool cover to fall apart and sink to the bottom of our pool.I do not recommend this product to anyone. It is nothing but a waste of time and money. If I could give this product zero stars, I would.

Prompt delivery is the best I can say about this cover. It's very thin, hope it makes it a year. A couple of the gromets were bent closed and when I tried to open them, they came off the cover material. The gromets are spaced about 5 feet apart so very large spaces of cover will lift when the wind catches it. The cover is a foot smaller in diameter than most, 21 foot total instead of 22 feet so it's a pretty tight fit.

Very light material, in fact the lightest I have seen in 20 years of pool ownership. The price was very reasonable, so I was not concerned about thickness, a couple of the eyelets were not properly installed but I was able to irk around them.

all these pool covers are way overpriced--come on--these are made of recycled garbage or a by product --but at least this one was less expensive than some others--I expect it will last a year before tearing up--forget about the phony warranty--it covers just about nothing

I thought it was hard to put on. You have to put the string in yourself as you are trying to hold it in place, then you have to tighten it up with the what little pieces it comes with. It sinks down into the pool and doesn't have any water excap holes in the top so now the water is pulling in even further down into the pool.
