Intex 16ft Round Solar Pool Cover for Easy Set & Metal Frame Pools — Bubble Insulating Sheet, Reduces Evaporation

This solar cover is designed specifically for 16 ft round Easy Set and Metal Frame INTEX pools. It uses a clear, bubble-textured sheet to trap warmth from the sun and insulate the pool surface at night, lowering heat loss and slowing water loss. The cover is simple to lay on top of the pool and remove when you want to swim, and it helps reduce the frequency of chemical adjustments by keeping contaminants and evaporation to a minimum.

How does the INTEX solar cover warm and protect my pool?

The cover's air-pocket (bubble) construction captures and transfers solar energy into the pool while forming a barrier against wind-driven evaporation and airborne debris. It acts like a lightweight insulating layer that floats on the water surface without complicated installation.

• Bubble-textured sheet absorbs sunlight and transfers heat into pool water.
• Floating barrier reduces evaporation and heat loss overnight.
• Limits leaves, dust, and other debris from entering the water.

Will this cover fit my 16 ft round Easy Set or Metal Frame pool?

The cover is cut to suit standard 16-foot round INTEX Easy Set and Metal Frame pools. It sits on the water surface and does not require fasteners; for best fit, ensure your pool has an approximately 16 ft inside diameter.

• Designed specifically for 16-foot round INTEX pool models.
• Works with both Easy Set (inflatable ring) and Metal Frame styles.
• Quick to place or remove—no tools or anchors needed.

How much water evaporation and chemical use can I expect to save?

The cover greatly slows evaporation by forming a surface barrier, which keeps more water in the pool and reduces how often you need to top up or adjust sanitizers. While actual savings vary by climate and usage, bubble-style solar covers are one of the most efficient simple covers for evaporation control.

• Significantly reduces water evaporation compared with an uncovered pool.
• Helps stabilize pool chemistry by limiting contaminants and water loss.
• Supports energy-free passive heating on sunny days.

How do I care for and store the solar cover?

Keep the cover clean of heavy debris to prevent tears and folding damage. Rinse with fresh water, let it dry completely, then fold loosely and store in a cool, shaded place to prolong its service life.

• Remove large debris before folding to avoid punctures.
• Rinse and air-dry thoroughly to prevent mildew.
• Store away from direct sun and sharp objects in off-season months.
