Bestway 10-inch Pool Cover

This pool has been a godsend! We’ve always wanted a pool during the summer and since having a garden flat enough to have one, it was an investment. As soon as it is deemed warm enough the kids are out of the house and into the pool. It’s also good to know that a 3x3m gazebo fits snuggly around the pool to keep the glaring sunlight off the kids. I also use the 12 ft Bestway pool cover over the top over night. Keeps the leaves and bugs out and keeps the water slightly warmer. Oh and you might want to read up about what to use to keep the pool water from stagnating. The first time I filled it although I kept the pump running, the water still ended up smelling ‘off’. I was dubious about using pool chemicals at first but between that and cleaning the filter daily I have had a nice clean pool for weeks now. Definitely worth every penny!!

Was very dubious about buying this given the number of negative reviews around poor size fit but for our model (Bestway 12ft Power Steel Deluxe) it is a very good fit. Drawstring can be set to a suitable tension so that you can stretch it over the top of the frame and it will stay put without needing to undo and re-tie every time you want to remove or recover the pool. Can also be removed and re-covered with just 1 person even for the 12ft diameter (might be slightly awkward if much bigger than this).Been in use for 3 weeks now without issue or any signs of degradation. Will not last forever as it is only relatively thin plastic but certainly will do for the season or two and at less than £20 that seems fair.

It fits ok, it has draw strings with a spring toggle thing, which isn’t a lot of good, but I found the strings have an elastic quality to them, and if you pull it tight, then remove a section, then pull it another 6 inches either side then tie it together, then stretch it over the pools frame it’s magic.It does sit on the surface of the water, and is not drum tight as I thought, but it does it’s job of keeping the leaves and other rubbish out of the water when the pools not in use. All I need to do now, is to teach the kids how to put it on, as they are very good at taking it off and forgetting to put it back on again!!

The reviews on this pool cover are variable so I was unsure how it would fit.I was pleasantly surprised, it took 3 adults so save it dropping into the pool but it fits nicely. The cord pulls to tighten it and so far so good. The plastic holding the cord could do with being a bit stronger but we just tied a knot to ensure it doesn’t slip.We have a 12ft steel max pro and purchased the correct size you wouldn’t want it being any larger. No wind as of yet so we will see how it holds up. Overall it seems like a good product. Not to thick nor to thin. Hoping it being black it’ll warm the warm a little too.

This cover is very thin and poor quality and even if it did fit in the way it should (it doesn't) it wouldn't help the pool to stay warm. The cover is supposed to pull tight and sit above the water, but it won't stay in place because the draw string is flimsy and weak. It flops down and sits on top of the water and if it rains the rain collects in it and it is then very difficult to remove. When you do remove it the rain water spills into the pool and if it has been there for a few days it will contaminate the pool water. We now leave the pool uncovered and this is much better as the rain goes into the pool and is then chlorinated.

Ok

Fits perfect, easy to use and warms up the pool on a summer day. It's stayed on through the rubbish weather we've had, seems durable-no rips, holes and hasn't stretched. Great value for money

I used a large tarpaulin with bungee toggles last year as I was so unsure of getting this due to the awful reviews. This year I thought I'd give it a go. I put in on for the first time today, all alone and with no problems. Although it will be much easier with two people. It fits like a glove. I bought the 10ft one for my 10ft pool. It floats perfectly on the pool water and it has a few holes in so rain water doesn't collect in top. I don't think it would work in an empty pool like some have tried. It needs the water to float on. It has a little cord inside that runs all the way around and tightens up, which is handy although I'm not sure how long it will last. I'm really pleased with my purchase and just wish I'd bought it before now.
