Two years ago I bought a solar pool cover for my in-ground pool. 12 mil
5 year warranty. The one I bought was mfg by GLI Pool Products.

First year was fine. At the end of the second year it started falling
apart. There are little circles from the bubbles are all over the place
and it tears real easy.

So I got talked to the company that sold it to me (Warehouse Pool
Supply, Austin Tx) and they told me to call GLI to find out about the
warranty.

I sent in the required info to GLI and they sent me back a letter.
Telling me I was entitled to a new cover I'd just have to send them $125
for the freight.

Funny thing is I can buy the same cover on the internet (free shipping)
for about $80.

I can't help but think this is a cynical joke.

I get 3 years out of mine . And that's what the pool supply said I would
get.

Three years is pretty good. I'd of been okay with that. Do you use it all
winter?

I use it in the spring and fall gives me about a 2 months more of swim
season ( beer floating season) In Sacrament Ca. you really don't need to
heat your pool ( my pool hit 98 F one summer) I paid about $160 for the
cover ( 20X40) but I see them on line cheaper this time of year.
