Customer Reviews for Water Warden 25 ft. x 45 ft. Rectangle Green Solid In-Ground Safety Pool Cover, ASTM F1346 Certified

Took me about 5 hours to install. I needed my wife to assist with pulling the cover into place. After that it was a matter of installing ~30 anchors into the concrete deck. The attached photo is from my security camera. This type of cover does not pull tight. It needs to sage and requires that the water level not be less than 18" below the deck. No more need for sand/water bags and a junk pool cover.

I am in the process of installing this cover today. Be sure to note that all pool covers are sold according to the pool size, not the cover size, ie. the dimensions of the 16 x 34 foot cover I purchased are actually 18 x 36 feet. The cover and the accessories appear to be of high quality. The accessories include the anchors, the strap springs, the anchor setting tool (to tap the anchors into the holes without damaging the top ring), and the rod to attach/detach the strap springs from the anchors. All you need to complete the installation is a tape measure, a hammer, a hammer drill with a 3/4 inch concrete bit, and a vacuum to suck the concrete dust out of the holes after drilling. I strongly recommend that you use an SDS-Max drill to bore the holes (you should be able to rent one if you can't borrow one). I obviously can't speak to the longevity of the cover, but it appears robust and, for what it's worth, it looks very sharp.

Very confusing on what size you are actually ordering based on description. Had to do a return because of confusion. When did return they tried to handle reorder and just made a mess of everything. Now I left with a reorder that I can’t even figure what is showing on my credit. Best not to let Home Depot order for you online. Tried to say I would just order at home but they just kept tried to fix problem but just kept making matters worse

Great quality with excellent directions, had just replaced deck with composite decking, anchors very easy to install.

With the only drain area in the center of the cover, the water pools up on top of the non-permeable segments and the screen drain area is higher and does not allow the water to drain into the pool. There should be a small drain area in each of the middle segments for proper drainage. Very disappointed.

Very nice quality, just be carful with the measurement. The cover is actually bigger then advertised, if you read the small print you will actually see that they give the measurement of the pool not the actual cover. I had do put in new anchors and the cover is a tad bit bigger then anticipated regardless high quality and nice to be given some extras in the package.

Easy to install, holding out well so far this season.

Cover is great. Delivery was not brought to my home so don't believe the frre Delivery advertisement

Fit perfectly over my pool. Straps didn’t line up exactly with my previous cover, but the hardware to install new anchors were included so it made the job easy.

First, not all the springs and screw sets were in the box so I had to call Waterwarden to have them sent separately. When they arrive I'll have to pay the company that installed the cover to come out again and finish the install. Second, It's very difficult to pull the cover tight enough that no water has a "dip" to stay in. Third, I'm seriously wondering how difficult it will be to remove and then to have reinstalled again.

This is a high quality cover that is made of really sturdy material. The anchors are solid and the springs are really strong. My only concern is that the cover is very heavy. Installing and I'm guessing removing will require at least two people.

This cover is made from very heavy,. durable material and fit my pool perfectly.

Missing 2 springs and 2 anchors.How do I replace them?

Rating provided by a verified purchaser

Everything went down as expected looks good have to see how it holds up. The only thing that could be in question is center drain reinforcement causing it to hold water before mesh. Waiting to see if it conforms it’s self so water isn’t standing / sag a little to allow water to get to the mesh.

I got tired of putting the mesh safety cover on our pool at closing and then having to put a solid tarp over it to prevent algae and scum. Then I had to pump the rain and water off of the tarp. The new solid cover I bought looks good and should keep sunlight and trash out.

Good value,as described.

Came on time. Everything was in package but was missing instructions of how to install. Looks and fits great.

There was about 8 inches of stair exposed . I think that was my fault measuring from the edge of the pool , not compensating for overhang on the legth when stretched . All in all a nice fit though .Purchased a hammer drill and 3/4 “ diamond bit . Made the installation a lot easier . Ruff fit first .

Easy to assemble... meets our expectations to keep the dogs out of the pool! I did find however when it rains it will pool on the cover... so you really still need a pool pump to remove the water or it stretches the cover more.

Nice cover. It took 3 of us to install it and about 4 hours. The tamping tool was a weak, and we had to buy another one, but everything else was great. Shipping was fast, and it was packaged great!

Safety Cover was easy to maneuver over the pool, to set in place. Everything needed to install the safety cover was included. Installation was relatively easy, once I got use to using a hammer drill. The real test of durability will be the first hard rain and or snow.
