We actually have the 13' pool, but there is no cover that size available, so we got this one. It works just fine despite the size difference. In fact, because we have the extra area, we don't have to take the ladder out to put the cover on. We just stretch the cover over the ladder. Which made me realize that if you DO have the 15' pool, you would have to remove the ladder to put the cover on. I'm kinda lazy, so that's not an appealing idea to me.
The vinyl is thick and high quality, which matters a lot to us as we live in a desert with very high UV that destroys everything in a short amount of time.Even so, I've noticed a bleaching effect occurring around the areas with the holes. Not sure if that's the chlorine from the pool water, the sun's rays being amplified by the water on top of the cover, or a combination of the two. Pretty sure that's gonna be where the vinyl starts failing, though.
I have noticed we lose hardly any water to evaporation when using the cover. Without any cover, we were losing 2"/day of water! The desert is a harsh mistress. We were using black plastic sheathing before we bought this cover, and I'm very happy with the convenience of the cover, the drawstring, the seams, all of that kinda stuff. Marked improvement over our rigged up cheapo cover. I do wish it were a lighter color to help reflect the sun more. It looks light blue, but is more of a medium blue, and it gets pretty hot to the touch in the full sun. When you remove it, it burns your hands pretty quickly if you're not careful. That's not the fault of the cover, though, and I see no way to remedy that except to shade your whole pool.
For the price, it's fantastic, although i have a feeling with our harsh conditions, it won't last more than a year. That's par for the course here, though, so not really a minus. It's a good value. If you have the pool, you should get the cover. In fact, I think they only sell the pools with covers now, so that should tell you how much they help.
