Keep water and heat in and debris, leaves and trash out of your pool with the Bestway Solar Pool C...Keep water and heat in and debris, leaves and trash out of your pool with the Bestway Solar Pool Cover. Above ground swimming solar pool covers create a greenhouse effect in your pool. Solar covers also prevent water evaporation caused by dry winds, or free‑chlorine loss caused by UV‑rays. These covers are designed to keep water and heat in, but debris out. Extend your swimming session with a Bestway Solar Pool Cover. Fits 18" / 5.49m Fast Set™, 16" / 4.88m Power Steel and 15" / 4.57m Steel Pro Pools.
This guide is for owners of Bestway 4.57 m (15 ft.) or 4.88 m (16 ft.) round frame pools and round steel wall pools looking to extend their swimming season and keep their pool clean. The Bestway Solar Pool Cover uses solar energy to heat your pool, prevents debris from entering, and reduces chemical use. Keep in mind that the effectiveness of the solar heating depends on sunlight exposure.
