Midwest Canvas MW1224HVY Heavy Duty Solar Cover – 12′ x 24′ Rectangle
Part Number: MW1224HVY
Description
This heavy-duty solar cover from Midwest Canvas is designed for above-ground and certain in-ground pools sized approximately 12 feet by 24 feet. The cover features an 8-mil thick material with thermal bubble construction and a transparent blue/clear finish to maximize solar heat absorption and retention.
Compatibility & Fitment
- Suitable for rectangular pools measuring close to 12′ × 24′ (verify pool dimensions before purchase).
- Works for above-ground applications and can also be used for some in-ground pools if size matches and attachment method allows.
- Not designed to replace structural safety or winter leaf covers — intended for solar heat capture and debris reduction during the swimming season.
Features & Specifications
- Dimensions: 12 feet by 24 feet (rectangular shape).
- Material thickness: approx. 8 mil with bubble cell technology to trap and retain heat.
- Color/finish: Transparent blue top film with clear underside to allow sun rays while reducing evaporation and heat loss overnight.
- UV-protected and backed by a 5-year limited warranty for manufacturing defects and normal pool-use degradation.
- Typical benefits: Can raise water temperature by up to 15 °F under ideal conditions, while reducing water loss due to evaporation and decreasing chemical consumption.
Installation Notes
Spread the cover over the pool surface with the bubble side down (toward water) so that the smooth blue side faces the sun. Trim excess material if necessary to fit between ladder and other deck fixtures. Secure the cover if needed with water bags or deck straps during windy conditions. Remove the cover for swimming and store the rolled cover in shade when not in use to extend its lifespan.
Maintenance Tip
Each season inspect the cover for boundary wear, tears or bubble collapse. Clean the cover with mild pool soap and rinse thoroughly. At the end of the season, rinse, dry partially in the sun, fold or roll loosely and store out of direct UV and wind. Re-use the cover as long as bubble inflation is adequate and it shows no major cracks — replacing when performance drops helps keep your pool warm and your chemical use optimized.
