Time to replace the solar cover. I can only get them to last about 2 years in the Arizona sun and heat. Is a clear solar cover longer lasting than blue? What is a good mil thickness? Who makes a good solar cover? What can I do to make them last longer?
 
Get the thinnest and cheapest you can find.

The flimsy bubbles are the same on all the covers and the typical fail point. A thicker cover may last longer with less rips, but you may also snag it more often being so akward and heavy. Or if it costs 30% more and lasts the same....... yeah. Lol.

I did not like the hideous opaque white color. Blue would have looked like it was still a pool at a glance.
