GoFloats V2 Inflatable Solar Pool Heaters for Affordable Pool Heating and Insulation - 3 Pack

Wasn't so sure about the product after reading all reviews but I decided to try it. Got them in today inflated and perfect. As long as you read and follow the instructions provided you should not have any folds or problems with them inflating. Windy day today but they have not flown out just yet. I did spray water on the top to help with some weight. Now they are on the pool and we shall see if they warm it up in a few days.

These are junk. If I could give a "0" I would. The quality control is poor -- over a third of them leak air out of the inflatable ring that is supposed to provide structure and flotation. If you have any wind, they blow off the pool surface and fold over, leaving the pool uncovered, even when filled with water as recommended in the instructions. After more than a week, they did not raise the temperature of my pool at all, despite strong sun and warm temperatures.

I really want to like these. I have a 16’ above ground pool, so I ordered 2x 3-packs. They do warm up the water…slightly. Just the top few inches of water. So you’ll stick your hand under them and think “oh that’s nice”, but then as soon as you turn on filter and the water circulates, that water is quite cold again. They have to be “anchored” by putting water on top of them, or they’ll blow away, but that water evaporates after a day or two, so they’re not exactly maintenance-free. We’ve also noticed that it’s more difficult to keep our water clear with them in and had to use more chemicals than before.I think I would be less disappointed if they weren’t so darn expensive. I’m not really sure why they’re $80 for 3 of them. They should be $20 for 3 of them, tops. These floats are nothing special. Think Walmart, 5 bellow, or dollar general and that’s what you’re getting.

Still for the time being I will say they’re nice. They blow up fast and are nice and light. Now that’s good and bad. The light part is good because easy to pick up and bad because a nice gust of wind takes them. That can be cured by putting water on them I’m sure. My other con is I had other ones with rings to put them on hooks. These you just find a spot and stack them so I wasn’t a fan of that. I will say for a budget solar ring they fit the bill just make sure you have some where to stack them and probably throw some water in them while in the pool.

Just built a pool and opted to hold off on the typical roof solar while absorbing the initial cost of the build. I have heard good things about solar pool covers, but didn't want the hassle of taking it off and on. I thought these would be a close second. They just don't really work and they take up a ton of deck space when you pull them out. They became known as the giant stack of pancakes during our swimming season. They "might" retain a small amount of heat overnight, but it seems that the shade they cast in the pool eliminates any heat gains on a hot day. They definitely get warm when sitting in the sun and you would think that as a heat sink, they would transfer some heat to the water. They just don't. I compared temperature gains on multiple similar weather days, both with and without the blue pancakes. No substantial differences. I'm tempted to cut out some of the bottom blue section to try that before I throw them away. As of right now though, I'd say they are a complete waste of money.

Perfect size. Easy for anyone to get in and out of the pool.

DO NOT BUY !!!! JUNK ! They do not heat pool ! I put in my pool and ended up throwing them away and buying the solar blanket

These work really well! I was expecting it to hear the pool by a little bit, which it does (as you can see from the temperature tracing before we heated the pool, the temperature was slowly creeping up—with fluctuations at night as expected). But where it really excels is at keeping the pool warm once you have heated it. We heated the pool 1 week ago for one night, and as you can see the pool has remained warm for a week after hearing by simply leaving these covers on when the pool is not in use.They are a tad bigger than you might expect from the pictures. The outer rim can be inflated with a motor, but the center has to be inflated manually, which can be time-consuming if you have a large pool. Each piece comes with two patches in case you end up with a perforation, which is nice. We’ve had these for over a week and so far we’re very happy. This exceeded my expectations by far! I would buy it again.
