Have a rectangle 12 X 24 Intex AGP. Cannot find a pool cover, will a oversized in ground cover work? Seems like the weights would keep it tight. Thanks

Since the cover just floats on the top of the water, I don't see any reason it wouldn't work as well on above ground pools. Ours decreased our bill to heat by at least 50%, and stopped evaporation loss.

I don't know the answer to this. I had bought mine for an inground pool and it just floats on the top of the water. Sorry.

I have a 18 foot diameter pool and the 18 covers it perfectly. you could cut the 18 down.

I just went outside and looked at my pool. It still has the cover on it. I dont recommend it. The 16 foot pool might have less poles to anchor the cover to. It's not going to get as tight when you tighten it with the trap

I used it with that exact pool. It worked great. You set up the pool and let it fill. Then screw the braces on the side right above the pool ledge. Wait til it's full. Otherwise, the frame sinks a little and the braces aren't sitting on the ledge. I am using it with an INTEX 20ft X 52in and it works great with that, I just moved the braces.

It doesn't fit over the edges, it is just a circle cut to lay just inside the rim so that it rests on the pool water itself and floats. If you're hoping to use it as a pool cover too in order to prevent debris, then carefully consider the amount of debris and type. My pool is under a covered patio and I still prefer the separate pool cover that goes all the way around the rim and is secured by a draw string.

I purchased a 9' x 18' retangular pool. You wil need to add 2' to each side minimum. I purchase a screen cover for my pool. It keeps all the insects and trash out. That is the key to low maintance.

No this would only cover part of your pool. It would be better to buy an oval cover.

Don't know. Our pool is 8 foot & this cover is bigger however, I would rather it be too big, than not big enough to cover it. It cinches up with a draw string so that it doesn't come off. As far as I'm concerned, it's worth its weight in gold if it keeps the debris from the trees out of the pool. Hope this helps you with your decision.

Yes it does! I have an Intex AGP about 24' by 52" deep, its round. I have an intex sand filter and put on a Haywood thru sidewall skimmer. Bought them all from Amazon at different times. I just got the Kreepy Crawler last Friday and by Sat morning it picked up everything that I couldn't with the standard Intex pool vac. I will tell you without a doubt you need a strong sandfilter to get the job done. That thing was my saving grace this season. Look on troublefreepools.com for all the info you need for keeping your pool clean, I did and man what a great site. I would be glad to send you some pics of my setup so you can see what works for me, I will also send you some before and afters of the sand filter magic. Shoot me an email at jon.schall@gmail.com Happy to help.

Hello, the skimmer worked great and it did fit our pool which was a 15ft x 48' best way pool that is just like the intex. Funny you wrote today, I just bought a Coleman 16x 48 today and plan on using the skimbi with it this year...hope that helps...:)

It really depends on the quality of the reel; but my reel is the middle level quality and has no problem supporting the 12 mil cover. I also have a 20x40 pool so it is a fairly heavy cover.

You would have to find a 30 ft pole to roll the cover. You need a deck, since this is for in ground pools.

I'd honestly try to find a cover that'll cover the entirety of your pool. The point of solar covers is to hold heat in. If you use multiple panels to cover it, you'll have gaps (even if you overlap) in which heat will escape, ultimately lowering the effectiveness of the cover.

I'm not sure about your specific pool, but I have an Intex 18' Easy Set pool, and I was able to cobble up something by taking a trip to the plumbing section of my local hardware store. Cost about $15 in fitting for me, but it works like a charm and since it is below the water, no one notices it. The fountain is great. Really adds a nice feature, for a low cost.

Yes the 18' solar cover will work on the 20' round. It will cover almost all of the pool, you might have a few inches shy of the sides but that's ok, because a solar cover will work as long as 80% is covering the pool water. By the way, this cover works GREAT. It has warmed my water tremendously!!!!!! It's a GREAT buy!!! Don't let the appearance trouble you~~it looks like a giant piece of bubble wrap~~but it DOES WORK!!!! Enjoy!!!

I have the 18 ft cover and an Intex pool, the cover touches all the sides with a couple of inches left over. I never trimmed mine, as it finds it way down naturally and lays pretty flat. I am not sure if a 15 ft cover would be as generous as this one, if it were, I would say you are probably safe. I have a lot of bunching up in areas that aren't laying flat. Ironically, that is where the water is the warmest. Just know, personally, I think trimming it would be a pain. It is a very large piece of plastic and even standing in the pool, as you cut, you might end up with those little bubble pieces.

I believe it is bigger. I have a 15'x30' oval pool and had to cut quite a bit. This type cover isn't the tie down though. This is a cover that floats on top of the water and traps heat. Your describing more of a winter cover.
