Blue Wave 16' x 32' Rectangle 12 Mil Blue Solar Cover for In-Ground Pools
Blue bubble blanket for rectangular pools.
The Blue Wave 16' x 32' rectangular 12 mil blue solar cover (model NS420, SKU PST-NS420) is a floating bubble blanket sized for 16' x 32' rectangular in-ground pools. Lay it on the water bubble side down between swims to help hold the sun's warmth in the pool, cut evaporation and keep leaves and debris out. Trim it with household scissors to the angles and curves of your pool walls, and take it off completely before anyone gets in.
Why PST Customers Pick This
Floats Bubble Side Down
Set the blanket on the water with the bubbles facing down and the smooth side up. Cut to size, it stays in place without grommets, ties or weights.
Holds In the Warmth
Sunlight passing through the blanket warms the water, and the air bubbles help hold that warmth in between swims. Keep it clean so more of the sun's rays get through.
Less Evaporation
Covering the surface between swims helps reduce evaporation, so you top off the pool less often.
Keeps Debris Out
Leaves and debris land on the blanket instead of in the water, which means less skimming before you swim.
Trims to Fit
Outline the pool walls with a marker, lift the blanket out and cut it to the angles and curves with household scissors. Leave it a little large and make the final trim after a day or two.
Reusable Every Season
Hose it off, let it dry, fold it on the seams and roll it up for storage, and the same blanket goes back on next season.
Not a Safety or Winter Cover
A solar blanket cannot support the weight of a person. Remove it completely before anyone enters the pool, and supervise children so no one swims while any part of it is on the water. Take it off at the end of the swim season; it is not built for winter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it fit my pool?
It is sized for a 16' x 32' rectangular in-ground pool. Float it for two to four days so the packing creases relax, then mark the outline of the pool walls, lift it out and trim with household scissors. Cut a little large first and make the final trim after a day or two.
Should I pick 12 mil blue or 14 mil clear?
This size also comes as a 14 mil clear blanket (NS520). The 14 mil line is thicker and carries a longer limited warranty. Both float bubble side down, trim to fit and cover the same 16' x 32' rectangular pool.
How do I make the blanket last?
Shade it or cover it whenever it is off the pool, because delamination from sun exposure while it is off the water voids the warranty. Lift it carefully over rough decks and coping, remove it if the water climbs above 90F or chlorine rises above 3 ppm, and store it clean, dry and rolled up in a cool spot.
What does the warranty cover?
The 5-year limited warranty covers delamination and seam failure only, on a pro-rated schedule. Mail the registration card within 30 days of purchase to keep coverage.
Can I leave it on over the winter?
No. Take it off when the swim season ends and store it. Winter conditions shorten its life, and following the care instructions is what keeps the warranty valid.

Great company to work with!
Came in great condition my kid loves it, fit perfect hes 6 and got a medium.
Order received. Thank you
This is a well built spa light with excellent cables and excellent customer service. Highly recommend
New flow switch worked perfect. Much cheaper than other sites. Arrived on time.
Good price works great!
Extremely fair company. Cares about their customers and are willing to do what it take to make you feel satisfied!
Dog chewed pool robot cord end. Ordered this fix it. Delivery was a little slow and I think some instructions should have been included as should have been a tiny allen wrench needed to tighten the wires into the plug. I got it done but think most homeowners would have a problem doing it. Other than these issues, the plug works fine and was much cheaper than buying a whole new cord.
Had a minor issue with pricing of a separate part in my order, but the sales team was responsive and reasonable, and worked with me to come to a mutually agreeable solution. In a world where character and reason has become the exception rather than the norm, they stand by their word and were committed to finding a fair solution.
I highly recommend them, and will look to them first in the future when searching for pool and spa products. Thanks, Sal and team!
I really like it
The part fit perfectly. Shipping was quick. Would definitely purchas from PST Pool Supplies again in the future.
Ordered this as I just had a leak and replaced it with a complete flow switch and valve . If the valve body cracks again, at least I am prepared. Thanks!
Awesome product and handling. It fit where my IC40 was easily.
We found the hard to find parts here, and they were delivered all the way to North Carolina way ahead of the initial delivery date. The pump runs Great and Everyone is enjoying the Pool over the Labor Day Holiday. Thank you again PST Pool Supply for your Excellent service..
Came here looking for a replacement flow switch and housing. My last one that I purchased on Amazon (cheap Chinese ****) lasted only 9mo before leaking severely in 2 places. I noticed a quality difference in the replacement I received from PST. I expect this one to far exceed the prior one. It installed quickly and works perfectly. Best of all, the leaked are gone.
