So I opened the pool two weeks ago (Mid-April) and it was clear as could be minus some easily vacced dirt and a few leaves. It's already balanced and we swam in it last weekend. So thanks for the tip everyone!

Thanks gentlemen. I guess I'll give this a shot this year, it sure beats buying a new cover.

Do these things really work and if so, what manufacturer's would you recommend? I have a standard mesh safety cover and I'm tired of opening my pool to a green mess every year. At my previous residence I tried the solid tarp style cover with a sump pump and I opened the pool to clean water...

Thanks everyone for your replies, I will wait and see what the invoice is.

I looked at the UST1152 which I'm guessing is what was on their the first time and they have a 12 month warranty sadly. If this one goes in 2 years I'll find another guy.

We had a solar cover about 9 years ago at my previous home that lasted 3 seasons and was still in good shape when we sold the place. Fast forward 3 years ago at our new place and I purchased another one since we loved it so much at the previous place. At the end of the 2016 season, it was...
