Buffalo Blizzard Micro Mesh Black Winter Cover for 16-Foot-by-24-Foot Rectangle Swimming Pools | 5-Foot Additional Material | Allows Rain or Melted Snow to Pass Through | Leaving Debris Behind

This product is made from very cheap materials and constructed very poorly. I would give it 0 stars if allowed. First off, it is not completely round and certainly doesn’t have 3 foot additional material.( it states that it is 27’ round, and is made for a 24’ round pool). We are using it on a 24 foot round pool and on one side, we have about a foot overhang on opposite sides of the pool and on the other part we have 1 inch overhang, almost like it is oblong. We have had a pool for 20 yrs and have never had this issue. The problem seems to center around the center seam. As shown in photos. Also, where it is stretched over the edge of our pool, it is already starting to wear through. This see-through spot, as shown in picture, was immediate once we cinched down the cover. But the real kicker is, when cinching the wire the grommets were already fraying and coming undone. As seen in the picture where my finger is completely sticking through. This is very poorly constructed and probably will not last another month. I have contacted the seller and ask for a refund. I must say that they do email promptly. I have sent in these pictures to them and they said they will only issue a refund if I send in a 12 X 12 swatch of the tarp. Then they changed their story and said they needed a picture of a 12x12 swatch. I am going to leave the cover on the pool as long as possible before I need to redo. And I need a refund before I can purchase a new winter cover, and it certainly won’t be this brand. Poor product!!

This is the best pool cover we have ever bought. This is our 6th year covering the pool. Every year the water and leaves collected on top making a disgusting mess to look at. This cover consistently drains the rain and snow and stays high and dry over the pool (large float used in middle) looking clean and nice. It’s been on our pool for the whole winter already. Still looks great. This is the cover we will use from now on. I would highly recommend. Nice quality. Looks great!**update 10/20- still a great cover! Bought a new one because the other one was getting old looking. As you can see the cover looks great! Used 2 4x15 air pillows to keep things real nice and dry. We had a rainstorm yesterday and no water accumulated on the cover. Very happy with our purchase.

The material feels fragile, the kid said. It's true but I don't want to think about it. While installing, the first crack split open, I thought I could just use duct tape to fix it. Then a second crack split, I gave up. I think the cover won't stand the snow and freeze in the winter. I've already wasted the money, not waste my labor again.

What a rip-off! This cover was supposed to let water on top of the pool seep down through the micromesh,to keep it from sitting on the top! Guess what, it doesn't work!Worst cover ever! I have attached pictures.I want to know what the company is going to do about. I would like our money back! It will be thrown in the garbage. Thanks a lot, Buffalo Blizzard for a piece of crap!

Much to our dismay we opened our pool for the summer this weekend only to find that it appears the winter cover dyed the pool water black. Yes it kept the debris out but it allowed all water through and there were strings from the cover also floating all over the inside of the pool. No idea how much this is going to cost me now because if i can’t get the water to clear i am going to have to drain the pool and start over again. Not to mention all the chemicals that i have put in the water to get it to clear. I do not recommend this product at all as what saved me in the beginning about $50 may now cost me $1k or more to make my pool water clear again.

I just last month ordered and installed this cover. When I unfolded it from the packaging I noticed the cheap thin quality that it was made of. The attached photos show where it is already coming apart just from where it was so tightly folded in its packaging it left creases. I looked for a MIL thickness on several different brands but none offered that info so I went with this one, bad choice. This rating is only because it will not post without at least one.

I opened the package and found the material very thin. The seams were already fraying. I read the instructions and in small print it states that the cover must be removed before the first snowfall or ice otherwise it could rip. What good is a snow cover that cannot remain on in the snow. Definitely not worth the money.

At first I thought that the mesh was going to allow the water to seep through leaving just the debris on the top. However, I still have standing water, with leaves in it on top, meaning I have to try to remove the wet, soggy leaves trying not to tear the mesh as I do. Not totally satisfied.
