Robelle 352040R Pool Cover for Winter, Super, 20 x 40 ft Inground Pools

For the price ($73?) you can't beat this pool cover! It does require either the water tubes or concrete blocks or something to hold it down in high winds. Keep it stretched tight, the cover should lie right on top of the water, and then up to the walkway around the pool where you secure it with water tubes (not included) . I used concrete blocks and in the high winds here in Las Vegas, the wind picked up the cover and dragged two concrete blocks into the pool! But this cover does a great job of keeping leaves and dust and other things from blowing into your pool. Price is great!

I purchased this cover last Fall with the hope that it would last through that winter and I would upgrade to a heavier cover before the next winter. You can't find a regular tarp this size at that price point, so my expectations were low. It held up very well. I secured it with water bags, pumped off the rain water as needed and got a solid 6 month's of use out of it before I reopened the pool earlier this year. It kept all of the leaves and debris out of the pool and the water was crystal clear when the cover was removed. I live in an area of the SE that sees some freezing temps, but usually no snow. It's a lightweight cover and was worth the price for what I needed it for.

I purchased the premium pool cover on 12/15/2020 for my indoor pool to keep the humidity contained. Since its an indoor pool, we don't have any issue with sun, leaf, or debris damage.The cover worked great for 3 years. The top of the cover was dry and it kept the humidity down. In the fourth year I noticed water pooling on the top of the cover indicating that it was seeping through the material. As I had purchased the 512045R ultimate pool cover with a 20 year warranty, I was shocked that it started leaking so soon.

UPDATE: Much to my disappointment they did not stand behind their product. I found a rip in the cover that was over water and under no overwhelmimg stress (only 5months old), sent an email to customer service and the response cited normal wear and tear.I was offered a resolution that was not satisfactory. I made an appeal for the customer service manager to define wear and tear, and after 48 hours no response. I think this lack of response is poor customer service and it is obvious that this product is only built to last no more than months. It a shame they don't stand behind their product. BUYER BEWARE!Bought this cover in October after reading the reviews that spoke of the good quality of the cover. Much to my disappointment I found a tear in the cover this morning (5 months after purchase) I live in PA where we did not have a bad winter. Waiting to hear from Customer service to see if we can figure something out.

Didn’t last through one season patched it for a second season. Need a new one. It was an economical purchase but not in the long run.

So far it’s a great product. Pool is covered for 3 months and had 50 mph winds and the cover just endures it. I build a deck flush with the pool wall, so I had to use an oversized cover and use water tubes to hold it down. At first I was a little worried about it, but seeing it hold water and withstand the wind I would give it a 5 star.

I was very pleasantly surprised with how nice this cover is with the edging. The blue and black is pretty and not flimsy and hopefully it will last a couple of winters. Price is also cheapest I found for this on other sites.

I bought the “superior” grade cover, and was pleasantly surprised at how good it seems for the price. We’ll see how it holds up over the winter, but it looks and feels like a very good quality cover, pretty heavy duty.
