Blue Wave 24' x 12' Oval 8 Mil Blue Solar Cover for Above-Ground Pools
Blue bubble blanket that trims to fit.
The Blue Wave 24' x 12' oval 8 mil blue solar cover (model NS135, SKU PST-NS135) is a floating bubble blanket sized for 24' x 12' oval above-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 for an exact fit, 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
Blue Wave's care insert for its above-ground blue solar blankets lists warmer water, less heat loss overnight and a longer swim season among the benefits of keeping it on the pool between swims.
Less Evaporation
Covering the surface between swims helps reduce evaporation and chemical use, 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 wall with a marker, lift the blanket out and cut away from the liner 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 24' x 12' oval above-ground pool. Float it for two to four days so the packing creases relax, then mark the outline of the pool wall, lift it out and trim with household scissors, cutting away from the liner. Cut a little large first and make the final trim after a day or two.
Should I pick 8 mil blue or 12 mil clear?
This size also comes as a 12 mil clear blanket (NS492). The 12 mil line is thicker and carries a longer limited warranty. Both float bubble side down, trim to fit and cover the same 24' x 12' oval 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. 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 3-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.
