Pool cover questions

[careingemt]

Hello,
Last year i noticed some blue circles and discovered it was my solar cover. It was also torn. Is normal life span only a year? Can anyone recomend a replacement? I think there is 6mil and 12 mil and different colors.. no?... My pool is 18 foot round above ground.

Thanks
Fran

Solar covers last from a year to several years depending on how they are cared for. On average most covers last around 2 seasons and then it is time to toss them.
