SAFANA 15ft Inflatable Pool Cover 13.68ft Top Ring - Windproof

In this review of the SAFANA pool cover, the bottom line is simple: it is for owners of 15 ft inflatable above ground pools who measure the pool's top ring and want a durable, easy-to-fit cover that keeps leaves and dust out. The reviewer found the cover especially useful when the pool has a flared shape where the top ring is smaller than the bottom ring, since the listed cover diameter of 13.68 ft is meant to match the top ring rather than the factory bottom measurement. For anyone who wants a no-tie, wind-resistant cover that reflects sunlight and reduces pool maintenance, this cover is worth considering.

Key Features

• Correct fit advice: The cover is sized for a 13.68 ft top ring and the reviewer emphasizes measuring the pool top ring to ensure proper fit, which prevents ordering the wrong diameter.
• 420D durable material: Thicker fabric resists tearing and strong winds better than thinner alternatives, extending the life of the pool cover and reducing replacements.
• Silver coating on the back: Reflects ultraviolet rays to slow pool aging and helps keep water cooler while providing some heat preservation for energy savings.
• Elastic band design: A widened elastic band secures under the top ring so the cover stays in place without tying ropes, making installation and removal quick.
• Debris protection: The cover effectively blocks leaves and dust, so the pool stays cleaner between uses and requires less frequent cleaning.

Who It's For

This cover is aimed at owners of inflatable easy set pools whose marked bottom diameter is 15 ft but whose top ring measures up to 13.68 ft, including many flared-shape and straight cylinder pools in that range. It suits homeowners who want a simple windproof option without ropes, and those who care about UV protection and material durability.

Customers with pools where the top ring equals the bottom ring should still measure carefully, and people with nonstandard shapes or much larger pools should look for a different size. If you need a cover with tie-down straps or a custom fit for odd rims, this particular elastic-only model may not be ideal.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Fits well when the pool top ring matches the 13.68 ft specification, reducing leaks of debris.
• Material is substantial 420D fabric that held up in rain and wind during testing.
• Elastic band makes installation and removal fast with no extra ropes or hardware.
• Silver backing reflects sun and helps delay pool material aging.

Cons

• Some users reported it did not stay in place in very strong winds, so additional anchoring may be needed in exposed locations.
• Fit depends entirely on measuring the top ring; ordering by the seller's bottom-ring size can lead to a mismatch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right size?
Measure the pool's top ring diameter; for flared pools the top ring is smaller than the bottom ring and this cover is sized to the top ring (13.68 ft).

Will it stay on in wind and rain?
The widened elastic band helps keep it in place and the 420D material resists tearing, but very strong winds may require additional anchoring.

Does the silver coating affect water temperature?
The silver backing reflects UV to slow pool aging and can help keep water cooler while also offering some heat preservation.
