Yep, you can absolutely trim the Sun2Solar Clear 18' x 38' Rectangle Solar Cover to fit pools that are a bit irregular in shape. The way the manufacturer describes it, it's built to be flexible, so you can cut it down to size for your unique pool shape. Pretty nifty if you're dealing with something other than a standard rectangle.
The cover's got a smart design with little bubbles that really help to trap heat. This means your pool stays warmer longer and you save on water from evaporation. Our research shows that some folks have noticed their pool water getting warmer by a few degrees with this cover.
As for the clear color, it’s a plus because it lets sunlight get through better, heating the pool more effectively than those blue covers. That's something people like Nan K. have pointed out.
However, durability can vary. Some folks, like Dawn W., have used their 1600 Series cover for multiple seasons without issues. But, others, like Edna C., saw it start wearing out within a few months because of the sun.
To keep it in good shape, it might be a good idea to cover it up when it’s not in use.
There is a warranty that can last up to 7 years, but be prepared to provide some proof if you encounter any issues—like taking pictures, according to our research.
In the end, think about how your local weather and how you handle the cover will affect its longevity. If you take care of it and protect it from too much sun exposure when it's not on the pool, it should last longer and do its job well.
It's definitely useful for keeping the pool warm and reducing evaporation; just a bit of TLC will go far in making sure it holds up.
