In this review of the 8 ft Round Pool Solar Cover 800 Series, the bottom line is simple: it is for pool owners who want an inexpensive, lightweight way to raise and retain water temperature while cutting evaporation. The reviewer found that the cover reliably uses the sun to warm water and holds heat overnight, making it a good pick for small above ground or inground pools where ease of handling and immediate temperature gains matter most.
Key Features
- Free Solar Energy: Raises pool water temperature by up to 15 degrees using direct sunlight, reducing the need for extra heating.
- Traps Heat: The blanket helps retain warmth after sunset so temperature fluctuations are smaller overnight.
- Conserves Water: Cuts evaporation by up to 95%, which reduces top-offs and chemical dilution over the season.
- Debris Prevention: Stops leaves and larger debris from entering the pool, lowering routine cleaning and skimmer work.
- Easy Installation: Durable design with extra overlap lets the cover be quickly placed over 8 ft round pools and trimmed for fittings or protrusions.
Who It's For
The cover is best for owners of small round above ground pools or compact inground pools who want a light, low-cost way to warm water and reduce evaporation without a permanent heating system. It suits seasonal pool users who prioritize quick setup and reduced maintenance.
Users who need a heavy-duty, multi-season permanent cover or who prioritize maximum longevity may want to consider thicker commercial-grade alternatives, since some customers report mixed durability results over multiple seasons.
Pros & Cons
