## Overview

The Blue Wave NS405 12-mil Solar Blanket is a robust, fade-resistant pool cover designed for 12-ft x 24-ft rectangular in-ground pools. It naturally heats pool water by up to 15°F using solar energy, reduces water and chemical evaporation by up to 95%, and keeps debris out for easier maintenance. Made from durable 12-mil polymer, it’s customizable for a perfect fit and backed by a 5-year limited warranty, making it an efficient, cost-saving solution to extend your swimming season.

## Description

Designed for 12 x 24 pools, this Blue Wave Solar Pool Cover helps increase and retain water warmth by using energy from the sun. Suitable for both inground and above ground pools, this solar pool cover helps water gain heat during sunny days and maintain warmth overnight, supporting more comfortable swimming with less reliance on external heating. In addition to heat retention, this solar pool cover helps reduce water and evaporation while limiting debris from entering the pool. This helps maintain cleaner water between uses and reduces maintenance effort throughout the swim season. The durable solar pool cover construction is designed for repeated use and easy handling. Sized specifically as a 12 x 24 pool cover, this rectangular pool solar blanket provides a proper fit and can be trimmed to accommodate irregular or uniquely shaped pools without affecting performance. A practical solution for maintaining warmer water, reducing evaporation, and supporting efficient pool use throughout the season.

Review: Great product - I live in Hawaii where it is sunny most days. I found I had to add quite a bit of water to my pool due to evaporation at least once a week, sometimes more in the summer. Since installation of the solar blanket, I haven’t had to add water to the pool yet (it’s been over a month) and had to lower the pool level when we had several days of heavy rain. It was super easy to install and easy to cut to shape (mine is a kidney shaped pool). If you have a rectangular shape pool, it’ll be even easier! The blanket also stopped the dead leaves and debris from my trees from going into the pool. It does warm up the water (my pool is not heated), which is a bonus for me. So if you like your water cool, you will need to remove the cover a couple of days before using to cool it down. Overall, this product works great for reducing the amount of evaporation from the pool and helping to keep the pool cleaner. I highly recommend it. Addendum: Now that I’ve had this cover for a year, I’m disappointed to report that the durability is not great and it has shown signs of disintegration — the bubbles are often found floating in the pool. I did see a video showing the exact problem I’m experiencing. I wished I had seen this before purchasing. Although it states there is a five year warranty, when that customer attempted to talk to the company, he was met with resistance stating the information had to still be in the cover itself. Also there is a prorated amount you still have to pay and also the cost of shipping for them to send a replacement. Something to consider before purchasing this product.
Review: Critter deterrent, excellent solar (free energy) heater and cuts down on chemical evaporation. Great price for what it does! - Finally a duck deterrent that works! I live by a lake...a lake filled with wild ducks. Ducks like to swim in my pool.Cute right? NOT! The filthy little creatures like to crap everywhere and anywhere they are LIKE IN MY POOL! Grrrrr. I tried motion sensor sprinklers, audio pest load speakers, fake alligators, shiny globes, laser lights....even fire crackers! I even bribed the winged nastys with bowls of whole kernel corn down by the lake to keep them down there but the little creeps just kept coming back and using my pool for a toilet in the middle of the night while I was sleeping. After having to drain, pressure wash, paint and refill my pool for the third time I finally decided to try this, because it would also act as a solar blanket heating source. OMG IT WORKED! The ducks won't come near it and my pool shot up 15 degrees in a couple of days (granted I live in Florida but this was before the summer heat set in). I have since purchased a swimming pool cover reel that I use to roll this up every morning (takes 2 minutes) and unroll it at night (takes 2 minutes). I haven't had a single problem with the ducks since, (or the frogs/bugs/BIG turtles) the pool stays cleaner, chemicals last longer and it really really really heats up the pool if you leave it on during the day. Covering at night keeps the pools heat trapped in (along with the chemicals that would otherwise be evaporating faster) as well. I used to have solar heating panels on my roof for heating the pool and those actually never got the pool above 84. This thing took it to 94 in a few days! I actually only use it at night now (or if the wind picks up and starts blowing crap in my pool during the day) to keep the ducks out and the pool clean. This is hands down the best product I have ever seen for heating the pool and keeping the critters out (also had a frog and HUGE very big turtle problem too - oh the joy of living on a lake with an in-ground pool and no screen room). I highly recommend this if you have a pool pest problem, want to bump your heat up in the cooler months or just want to cut down on chemical evaporation. IT WORKS! Also, I'd recommend eventually getting a cover reel because it's so much nicer to roll it up and unroll it rather than just dragging it up on to the deck but that does work. I did that to begin with. :-) BTW, I still feed (bribe) the ducks so my wife (disabled) can watch them and they might walk up the hill to check things out, but they won't come near the pool now even when the cover is rolled up on the reel (sits at the shallow end of the pool unless we're in it - then I roll it out of the way - it has wheels).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great the first 2 years
*by R***. on August 5, 2023*

I’m on my 3rd summer using this cover. It’s been great the first 2 and 1/2 seasons but halfway through the 3rd season the bubbles are starting to break and it’s ripping. Looking at the more expensive options from reputable companies they come with warranties but looking at the restrictions this problem wouldn’t be covered. Because of the great price point from this on Amazon it’s a good buy and I recommend. The only thing for me is that I can’t have it on all summer when not in use because it heats my pool way too much, however does a great job with water and chemical loss
