Product Information
Full details
This Intex Solar Pool Cover (29023) is designed for owners of 15-foot round Intex above-ground pools seeking to maintain warmer water temperatures and reduce maintenance. Its primary benefit is harnessing solar energy to heat the pool while significantly cutting down on water evaporation and debris. A key consideration is that the cover features small holes, which are intentional for functionality but may allow some small debris to pass through.

FAQs
What is the main purpose of this solar pool cover?
The main purpose is to heat your pool water using solar energy and to reduce water evaporation and debris accumulation.
Will this cover keep my pool completely clean?
It significantly reduces debris entry but is not a completely sealed barrier. Small particles may still enter through the intentional small holes.
How much does it typically raise the water temperature?
The amount it raises the temperature depends on factors like ambient temperature, sunlight intensity, and duration. It can typically increase the water temperature by several degrees Fahrenheit on a sunny day.
Can I use this cover on any size or shape of pool?
No, this cover is specifically designed for 15-foot diameter round Intex above-ground pools.
What are the small holes in the cover for?
The small holes are intentional and allow some water to escape, preventing excessive accumulation on the cover's surface, which could otherwise weigh it down or reduce its effectiveness.
How should I store the cover when not in use?
Allow the cover to dry completely, then fold it and store it in the provided reusable carry bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sharp objects.
Does this cover reduce the need for pool chemicals?
Yes, by keeping the water cleaner and reducing evaporation, it can help reduce the overall consumption of pool chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Cover is not heating the water effectively.
Ensure the cover is laid flat on the water surface with minimal wrinkles. Verify that there is adequate direct sunlight for several hours a day. Check if the cover is significantly dirty, which can impede heat absorption.
Water is accumulating on top of the cover.
This is normal to some extent due to the small holes. If excessive water builds up, carefully lift a corner to drain, or redistribute the cover to allow water to flow through the intended escape points.
Debris is still getting into the pool.
While the cover reduces debris, it is not a sealed barrier. For maximum protection, ensure the cover is properly centered and covers the entire water surface. Consider using a separate debris net for additional cleaning.
Cover seems to be shrinking or stretching.
Allow the cover to acclimate to ambient temperatures before fully deploying. Extreme temperature fluctuations can affect the material. Ensure it is stored properly when not in use.
