Really works to keep bulk of leaves from pool cover. I live in an old neighborhood with a lot of mature trees that shed leaves for months. I was tired of sloshing around with the cover trying to remove them so I took a chance on this leaf cover. The only thing that bugs me is that it's very stretchy which is a bit annoying when you install it. I thought it would be stiffer material, but aside from that it's a real labor saver. Pulled it off in the Spring with the help of my daughter, dumped the leaves on a tarp, let it dry, folded it up, and stored it away. It's worth the money if you have a lot of leaves.
