You need an additional actual cover to cover the pool to prevent debris correct?

The solar cover will keep most of the debris out, however the cover gets really dirty and when you take it off and put it on it dumps a lot of the debri that's sitting on it into the pool. I dont have another cover so I'm not sure if a another one will help to keep the pool cleaner. Hope this helps

Depends what kind of debri it won't handle a tree branch. It does keep out most bugs it is not very thick.

I have been using the solar blanket to serve that purpose as well as heat the pool. However, now that temps are much hotter, I do not use the solar cover at all. I would suggest using a regular pool cover if you want to cover the pool while in not use. I have not found it necessary to cover my pool to protect it from debris. The water stays very clean. However, if you have your pool near trees that will drop leaves, etc. into the pool, you may want to use a cover

Make sure the ground is level. Clear the area of any small rocks, sticks, or roots. We have used the provided tarp, sand, and old solar pool covers for under the pool, and all were fine. Very little else to worry about. The video is easier to follow than the printed instructions.

I just went outside and looked at my pool. It still has the cover on it. I dont recommend it. The 16 foot pool might have less poles to anchor the cover to. It's not going to get as tight when you tighten it with the trap

I am in Tampa and put the cover away in May. Pool is 88 so no need for extra heat. I'll put it back on in October to get another month of swimming. I found the solar blanket only kept the temp up at night, it didn't seem to heat it during the day but that was before the pool got more direct sunlight.

We don't have a regular pool cover, but I don't see why not. You might want to find another place that sells them though just to ask that question. I'd hate for you to buy this on my say so and then find out it didn't work!

The pool does come with a cover and ladder. my advice is to buy a bubble cover to help warm the water. you wont regret it

yes, but it is not worth buying unless you are using it to keep out leaves. If it rains everything in the cover will get into your pool. Also the tie down system is not very good. I would not recommend this item at all. It is worthless.

The gentleman is wrong, it keeps debris out and keeps the sun from burning off the chemicals. We use less chemicals by having a cover. Go for it.

There are holes in the cover to allow the pool to vent and also assist with rain water entering the pool in a manageable way. It is possible for leaves and other debris to enter the pool as the cover is not the exact size of the pool. I ended up purchasing a different cover (heavier gauge and more durable) from my local pool supply store. I got the new cover large enough to extend over all of the sides so this does a much better job of keeping all debris out of the pool. There are no vent holes in this new cover so rain water can accumulate but this usually is not a problem (I used a wet/dry vac when there was much rain water setting). I would skip purchasing this cover and get a larger, and heavier gauge (thickness of plastic which also provides greater thermal benefits) cover. Good luck.

I'm sure you could fasten something to the edges of the pool and the cover (similar to how the cover would attach to the cover reel). I don't think there is much of a need for that however. A little bit of water always seems to come on top of the cover to weigh it down on top of the "suction" the cover and water create together. It's a great cover for the price, even compared to more expensive covers. Good luck

If it's a metal pool you shouldn't have that problem. I had the thickest cover the clear one and never had a problem. My pool was a 24" round and 4 1/2 feet deep.

No it does not need to be covered at all. If a little water gets in through the holes that could only help the process

Honestly, I don't "get " your question. But I think you're talking about the holes manufactured into the cover. First, it'd be like covering up a ballon second, more debris can get in the pool. Then third, I think if it steams diring summer, it might balloon up and pop off the top. Hope that helps.

Hi... It came with a filter... No cover no ladder... We just step into it. The pool has been Great and a lot if fun... I think if it was 48" then we would need a ladder...

The cover still does go over the whole pool. There are straps that connect from the pole to the cover so that it lays fairly flat across the surface of the pool.

We use the cover at night to reduce pool evaporation during the summer and to help the pool retain its heat. The added warmth does encourage more algae, but all we do is increase the chlorine we add to control it. Lots cheaper than running the heater. How much chlorine, and when? We add a gallon or two when the pool begins to loose its sparkle (haven't "tested the chlorine level" in years). Easy peasy. And we get the same amount of debris in the pool, but it's on the cover not in the water. How could it be otherwise?

No. Mine did not come with a pool cover. Nor did it come with a ground cover. I purchased a thick tarp to cover the ground and protect it from any pebbles or rocks that might otherwise puncture it.
