Excellent $.02. I am certain the Doheny 3200 we received was not even close to the 16 mil in thickness that we had ordered - a Harris. Maybe 12 mil but maybe even less, it is so thin! We never had tears like this with true 16 mil covers. I see Harris covers still are for sale so I am...

You are doing well then. That was my experience until this year!

Sound like you and I and I share similar experiences!

I wish I could use a roller! Unfortunately my pool has a very irregular shape and the surrounding decking is on 3 different levels because of the hillside. The size and complex shape caused us to cut the cover onto four sections, which we handle carefully and always cover when off.

I am thinking it is this new cover too. Oddly not a single bubble has delaminated, which always before been the failure point before when they started raining off like snow flakes! The basic material just seems thinner and therefore more prone to tearing. I have never had a problem with...

Totally agree!

Totally true!

Interesting about your Doheny mid range cover lasting 3 years. Mine is the Doheny 3200 clear with "micro bubbles". I had placed an order in the spring of 2021 for a Harris 16 mil clear cover since that was the one I was replacing and it lasted 3 years. After being backordered for several...

I have been maintaining my own pool for 30 years. Each year I keep a solar cover on it from the late spring to early fall. Typically the solar cover lasts 2 to 3 seasons. When the pool is being used the cover is off and wrapped in a tarp from the sun. Later in the day the cover goes back on...

WOW, the hardness increased! Sure sounds to me that United Chemical Company that makes Caltreat is ripping people off. I would complain and seek a refund for the product from them or where you bought it. Anyone else out there have opinions on Caltreat and/or how to make them accountable for...

I am curious to know if the Caltreat worked for you. I recently was recommended by our local pool supply store to use Caltreat to reduce the calcium hardness in our pool. The Caltreat bottle stated “When used as directed, Caltreat will reduce calcium levels 200 – 400 ppm. The water hardness in...
