Pool solar cover Bestway 5.49 m (diameter 5.27 m) blue

Solar pool cover Bestway 5.49 m (diameter 5.27 m) blue is a floating polyethylene cover designed for above-ground domestic pools with a nominal size of 5.49 m and an actual diameter of 5.27 m. The lightweight cover (approx. 2 kg) rests on the water surface to provide passive solar heating, reduce water evaporation and limit the ingress of leaves and other debris. Supplied in a blister pack, the cover is intended for seasonal use to improve heat retention and lower water loss in home pool installations.

Advantages

The blue polyethylene material offers thermal insulation that helps maintain water temperature using solar energy while the floating design creates an insulating layer that reduces nightly heat loss. By minimizing evaporation the cover contributes to lower water consumption and reduced need for chemical top-ups. The cover also keeps out dirt and leaves, simplifying pool maintenance and reducing filtration load. Its light weight makes handling and storage straightforward.

Suitable for

• Above-ground pools with nominal diameter 5.49 m and actual diameter ~5.27 m
• Seasonal passive heating of pool water
• Reducing evaporation and conserving water
• Limiting debris accumulation for easier maintenance

Key specifications

• Material: polyethylene bubble-style solar cover
• Colour: blue
• Nominal size: 5.49 m (18 ft) / Actual diameter: 5.27 m
• Approximate weight: 2 kg
• Design: floating cover that rests on water surface

How to use

Unroll the cover and place it on the pool water surface with the bubble side facing down so that air pockets contact the water. Center the cover over the pool and trim any excess only if necessary following safe cutting practices; avoid creating large gaps. For best results remove the cover before swimming and replace it when the pool is not in use. Store the cover clean and dry in a shaded, cool place to prolong service life.

Usage recommendations

Use the cover for daytime and overnight heat retention, and remove it during active swimming and high winds. Regularly inspect for tears or wear, clean with mild soap and water, and avoid contact with sharp objects and heated surfaces. Do not use the cover as a safety device; it is not a barrier to prevent accidental immersion.
