Blue Wave 8-Year 24' Round Above-Ground Pool Winter Cover

Every fall I cover my pool and order a new one for next fall, because I toss the old one when I open the pool in the spring. So I had a Blue Wave I ordered last fall (2024) and opened it this fall to cover my pool and was immediately impressed with it compared to all the covers I've had. It has a rather heavy lamination so you can hardly see the scrim, really well made. So after covering the pool ordered the EXACT same cover, same item number, same size, same warranty. It gets delivered and the box is the same as last years, but I notice it's not as heavy. I look at the empty box, and the weight is 27%23. Look at the new one and it's 24.07%23. I haven't open it but I bet they cut back on the heavy lamination

I got a great deal on a Blue Wave pool cover and pillow for my pool! Only issue was the cable that secures the cover was about 20 feet too short so I had to use my old one! When I tried to call Blue Wave customer service someone answered and then the line goes dead! Tried calling five times so I gave up! This is by no means the fault of Walmart though, I would not hesitate to buy from them again!

This is my opinion so far, but the bad weather is yet to come. Will let you know then. It was easy enough for my husband to put it on by himself rather quickly!

If you get 8 years out of this cover it'd be a major miracle. Figure on one year and done, but it does what it is supposed to do, cover the pool in the off-season. Not hard to install but works best if you have a helper to keep it straight. If you need a cover for your pool for the winter, get one. Just don't expect it to last very long.

The material is a little too thin for my liking, I had to purchase clips to hold it down because the wind kept blowing it off the pool and the red wire at the bottom was a little difficult for me to tighten. If it were sewn into the material it would be much better.

Very thin and not sturdy at all. We buy a cover every year for our pool. We know they won't hold up any longer than one winter and that's ok, they're fairly cheap and do the job we need. We tried this one since I could get it quicker through Walmart app - it is terrible. It was on there about a month and already started tearing. It's been 3 months now, winter hasn't even started, and we're going to have to buy another one. Do not recommend this one at all!

this says an 8 year cover, but upon putting it on my pool for the first time and putting the strap around it that came with it, it already has 2 holes in it. so no it was not what it is being advertised. the only good thing is it covers good.

if you click on the pdf manual for this pool cover it shows that there is a warranty, including a area to complete and return to Arctic Armor Warranty Dept/Blue Wave Products Inc. i printed that pdf and completed the form and mailed it in. THEN i got the warranty info BACK in the mail. said “not deliverable as addressed. unable to forward”. nice. obviously i won't even know how the cover has held up over the winter, until spring. i'm SOOOOO aggravated about all the lies told by the manufacturers! they ALL claim this and that about their product. none of it is true. i only bought this one because of the warranty claim. but, apparently, THAT is also a LIE.

The fit is not tight like recommended on their product nor does it tell you that after just a few months of purchasing the material starts to shed in a way and the black part of the cover is all in my pool every single time it's a mess even all over me not satisfied at all

First of all it was supposed to come with a securing kit and there was none. The cover began to rip on the second day after putting it on. Don't waste your money.
