description Intex Solar Cover 12x18ft Rectangle Overview
The Intex Solar Cover 12x18ft Rectangle is a thermal pool accessory manufactured by Intex, designed specifically for rectangular above-ground swimming pools of matching dimensions. Constructed from durable, bubble-packed polyethylene material, the cover works by trapping solar heat to naturally warm the pool water. Additionally, it reduces water evaporation, which helps maintain chemical balance and decreases the need for frequent refills.
It is intended for consumers looking to passively heat their pools using sunlight.
help Intex Solar Cover 12x18ft Rectangle FAQ
Is this cover made for a true 12-by-18-foot swimming area?
It is marketed for rectangular pools in the 12-by-18-foot size class, although the cover itself may sit inside the walls rather than reaching every edge. Check the water-surface dimensions if you have a non-Intex frame pool.
Which side of the Intex rectangular solar cover touches the water?
Place the bubble-patterned side against the water and leave the smoother side facing upward. The air pockets help insulate the pool and keep the cover floating.
Will this cover heat an 18-foot-long pool without a heater?
It can capture solar energy during sunny weather and, more importantly, slow overnight heat loss. The result depends on air temperature, wind, sun exposure, and whether the pool remains covered when nobody is swimming.
Can one person remove a 12-by-18-foot solar cover?
One person can usually fold or roll it from a short end, but a reel makes daily removal easier and reduces creasing. The cover must always be completely removed before anyone enters the pool.
