For the past 3 years I have purchased the Intex 12' round solar covers. They worked, took 4-5 days to warm the pool anywhere from 10-12 degrees. By the end of the summer, here in CA, they were crumbling, tearing and disintegrating. By summers end I had to throw them away.WOW!!! This summer I bought The Blue Wave 14 mil cover and it is so much better than Intex. I switched because Intex jacked up their price this year, almost triple! So glad they did. I am happier with Blue Wave. Blue wave was about $20 more than what I USE to spend on five 12' round disks. Now intex's products cost WAY more and it's not worth it.Blue wave heats up my pool by 15 degrees in less than 2 days and does a better job of keeping the heat in. I have one giant cover now but it's not anymore time consuming to take it off and put it on. I am SO HAPPY WITH BLUE WAVE...The last thing that puts blue wave light years ahead of Intex is that this cover is thicker, more durable and will probably last me a few years... overall I am getting a better product that is way cheaper than Intex.
