New pool owner, looking to get a solar cover

[Teerump]

Hey guys, we bought a new house with a pool, looking to get a solar cover. Been looking online, prices seem to be pretty good compared to pool store prices. Looking at an 18x36, is there anything I need to know or particular sites to buy from or stay away from? Thanks in advance!

I have a clear solar cover for the same size pool and they do a decent job of warming the water. If you purchase one the reel is a must to have in order to manage it when it is removed. In my opinion they are rather unsightly sitting next to your pool for the summer. We have had two of them and we ordered both of them off the internet but I don't remember where. My advice is to look at the sellers reviews / feedback before your purchase.
