Buffalo Blizzard Deluxe Winter Cover with Water Bags Kit for 16-Foot-by-32-Foot Rectangle In-Ground Swimming Pools | Blue/Black | All Covers Include 5-Feet of Overlap to Measure 21-Foot-by-37-Foot

I buy this cover that comes with water bags kind of a deal every 2 years or so. I used to buy an expensive cover and expensive water bags every 4 years. For what I paid for this cover and water bags, I could throw it out in the spring and get a new one next fall and do it again for 2 more years, and still be way ahead money wise over buying the expensive cover and bags. The last one I bought like this with the bags lasted 3 winters and I probably could have used it again this winter but I didn't feel like cleaning it and storing it over the summer again. For what you pay for this cover it is easier to throw it away and buy it new than it is to clean it. Just for the record, 2 of the water bags that came with it leaked so I tossed them out. I didn't care because couldn't buy 10 of the expensive water bags for what I paid for this cover and bags. It is a good deal.

We just covered our pool this past weekend, September 28, 2019, so we do not know how well the cover will hod up in our harsh winters yet. That being said, the cover seems to be very well made and sturdy. One thing I really like are the loops around the cover to hold the water tubes. Our inground pool is oddly shaped so we had to order a bigger cover than we originally wanted but we were able to fold it over so that we could use the loops on all four sides, which I was very happy about. It was also a plus that the water tubes were included. Delivery was super fast too. We received everything in one day. We are looking forward to seeing how well it all holds up this winter. With all the tubes around the edges I think it will work well.

Was very bulky and a pain to fold out and get the actual needed size cuz if was folded/packed so tight

This does not fit a 16x32 with 4' steps on the end.

We've had this for 2 seasons and it does a good job. A couple of tubes sprung small leaks right away but they can be refilled, or patched but they still hold the tarp. After 2 seasons we've started to notice a couple of small tears in the tarp around stress points, but these aren't made to last forever. Be careful when ordering your size. We ordered a 18x36 but didn't consider the steps add a little more length and the tarp just barely covers the stairs. Overall for the money I would say this was a good purchase.

WE needed a new pool cover but our pool is a custom shape and not easy to fit. We selected this cover for the size and it is perfect. It took three of us to get it over the pool with the wind blowing but after getting the water bags filled and holding one end of the cover it went well. We did get the water pump to keep water off of the top and that has been great. Looking forward to later spring when we uncover a sparkling pool without any messy leaves in it.

This cover is exactly what I expected. It is a very reasonably priced cover that came with water bags to weigh down the sides. The measurements were perfect and my pool is all ready for winter. The cover is light and installation is very easy. I cannot speak to the durability as I have only had it a couple of days but I was careful not to tear the cover during installation and I anchored it down so that no wind gusts would find an opening. This is a cost effective alternative to a safety cover that is five to six times the cost.

The cover seems to be decent and works fine, however 5 of the water bags that came with the package were ripped or torn. This is very unhelpful because once you fill them with water the leak out making it difficult to keep weight around the whole pool.
