Does the cover sit on top of the water (for an in-ground pool)? If so, does it trap dirt underneath?

Depending on how high the water level is, it may be right on the water's surface or a little above. I don't remember having a problem with trapping dirt underneath. Usually it keeps the junk out of the pool.

It sets on top of the water. The cover helps keep most of the dirt and leafs out. FamilyPoolFun

We had an old solar cover on the pool, last summer ( not this one) Trapped a huge frog underneath and by the time we discovered it, it was gross. Be careful

it floats on top. If you cut it nicely to the shape of your pool (scissors), then it will easily keep dirt OUT of the pool. Unlikely that you'd put this over a dirty pool...

We clean the pool before we use the solar cover. I'm not sure what you mean by "trapping dirt". It lays directly on the pool water so if there is a lot of surface debris it will get on the cover.

It does sit on top of the water in our in-ground pool. It doesn't typically trap dirt underneath, unless you drag the dirt into the pool when putting on the cover.

It comes with a tarp which doesn't extend much beyond the dimensions of the pool, so in order for it to be of help the pool needs to be placed very exactly. I would recommend that if you want more padding under the pool that you get a "happy pad," which will guard against sharp edges of stones and things like that.

Nope--the cover stays up on this one (I've had others where it falls as you've said). This has a bit of rigidity in it that invites burrowing.

Yes but it will sit right on the water. It will keep water warm but water will get on it and bugs and then when you remove the cover bugs go in and water gets on cover and is lost when you pull of the cover. I think having too big of diameter is better but this will keep warmth in.

Mine does not collect dirt. It's pretty much sealed once you put the case on.

It just lays on top of your pool. I have never had an issue with the cover blowing off. I also place my pool floats on top of the cover.

Yes. The holes are intentional. They let any water that has settled on top out. Without them you wouldn't be able to pull the cover off nearly as easily. By the way this isn't really meant to be a pool cover. It's a solar heater. And helps keep heat in overnight. You should buy the regular cover and stick it over the top of the solar cover over night if you really want to keep your pool clean

Don't know I have mine in an in ground pool! For the in ground it is a perfect design!

It does. The cover on the driver's side ends at the end of the well, so there is a 2" - 3" section between the end of the floor liner and the seat. This area will attract dirt/salt.

I have it covering my in ground pool it doesn't cover it completely but it works well. And yes my vacuum works just fine while the cover is on.

This a solar cover and therefore floats on top of the pool so the depth of the pool doesn't matter. I purchased the 18 foot solar cover for my 15 foot foot round pool so i would have bit of overlay on the edges. I then secure in place with pool sand bags. I purchased a

Basically yes, it goes under the top cover of the perimeter of the pool or hooks up to the top railing, but it has to be covered by water up to the marked level, because of the heat it produces. It has a mark for water level which is about 2 feet below the top of the side of the above ground pool.I hooked it up with a remote switch, so I can easily turn it on or of without touching the plug.

No, but the cover does have a ring around the top that has a draw string to tighten cover around the top of the pool. I have and use this cover and it works great

I purchased one of these and am pleased with it... But isn't it designed for above ground pools?

The cover does not have any holes for rainwater on the top. Have had it covering the pool since oct/nov and it has held up since then.

It does trap water underneath. I use it on a pavered area, so it works for me. The product is very good quality however. Hope it helps.

This cover just sits on top of the water. You need to get one the same size diameter or smaller than your pool. Laying flat like it does, the wind never seems to be able to get underneath it. Just vision, Blue Industrial Strength Bubble Wrap. Heats the pool up nice, helps keep the warmth in at night. Even helps with chlorine retention.
