I have purchased my second pool cover through this company - the first one no problem!! This one I ordered on their web site and clicked on the correct pool shape (step one) then remeasured the pool 4.0 x 6.8mtr (double checked) and included the figures into the system they provide. For some reason I received a cover 400mm short!! The response was… Read more
"well you should have checked the system to make sure the measurements you provided transferred to your invoice" - " we have delivered the order we received" So look out and double check your order over and over again before paying. I have a real problem with the fact I followed Pool Express's automatic ordering and am now extremely disappointed. Would not recommend this order system at all.
All I wanted to do was spend more money with this company which I have in the past. However, as my current pool cover was still under warranty and was falling apart, they didn't want to know about it, they will not respond to my communications. They could have just said, we will give you $20 off or free delivery on your next purchase and I would have spent more money and purchase a more expensive pool cover, now I take my business elsewhere.

Our Pool Cover took longer to deliver than originally told it would. Installation a nightmare, no instructions included and tried to figure it out without them. Eventually called their office and they sent through ‘instructions’ I use this term loosely! Made no sense and was very unclear, didn’t seem to match the cover we purchased. . Already… Read more
spent about 6 hours at this stage. Anyhow tried again today, using You Tube videos, after about 3 hours we gave up. Still not installed and pieces lying everywhere Has to be the worst thing I’ve purchased to try to install with no instructions So we will call them again tomorrow and see if they can help. Wasted so much of our time trying to install this cover! Would not recommend based purely on the lack of installation instructions!

Failing pool cover – We have purchased a pool cover less than 2 years ago, given 12 years warranty. The cover is now badly falling into pieces and the supplier cannot confirm if warranty applies despite messaging and supplying photographic evidences and now ignoring us... Very disappointing ! Show details
Pool cover roller – I ordered a pool cover roller (Apollo) and received it the following week, had really good communication with the admin, quick responses were appreciated. Item was more robust than I expected and very satisfied all round - looks great
Be wary – Got my order wrong. Offered a partial refund. Never got it. Ignored my emails
Do not buy – Communication is extremely poor! Ringing the phone number gets you nowhere-they take yur name & tell you someone will call back & they dont! 8 calls across 2 days and no resolve for a cover that doesn’t fit, after it wasn’t dispatched in the 2 days advised it would be. Too short after their ‘state of the art gps’ got it very wrong. When advised it… Read more
was too short have been made to feel like we are making it up. Has been nothing but a debacle since they took my money! Customer service is zero, communication is zero and product quality? Cant really comment as we cant ise what was sent. Emails at 2am are unsatisfactory for an ‘Australian based company’. Was advised product was being shipped from Brisbane but invoice had ‘Westfield Bondi’ in Sydney so a little confused here. For the money we paid, we are horrified at the service & product. Still waiting on a resolution so potentially $1000 down the drain! Disappointing to say the least
Happy customer – The whole experience went very well. The measuring procedure was easy to follow and the cover supplied met all expectations. The cord and eyelet kit requested was not supplied but the strap kit sent instead was easily adapted and may prove to be a better system in time. Fitting to the pool and roller was relatively easy and the shape and size… Read more
were as specified. I am still to trim to final size after allowing for any shrinkage but will wait for slightly warmer weather. The delivery was very prompt, only three working days. I would recommend your services to anyone.

It took a lot longer to come than I was told, however it seems to be seeking in one of the seems.in our dry weather with al 4 sides up it is persistently wet after use on right side seem only. Still under observation. Pete. No photos as it's now raining. Not often used for health reasons. Show details
The service was exceptional. I submitted a quote request for pool cover, and a response was suprisingly quick and refreshingly innovative. Aerial photography was used to confirm pool dimensions such that a credible design and quote was received. One email later, the design with dimensions was refined to accommodate the pool ladder. Order placed and an awesome custom cover arrived to the door a few days later. Show details
Pool Cover from Pool Express – I purchased a solar pool cover online from Pool Express. Their website was easy to follow and the measurements used were those provided by Pool Express from a satellite image. These turned out to be very accurate and the cover provided had a small deliberate overlap which I trimmed as required. I live in Brisbane and delivery (free) was only… Read more
three days from placing the order. A set of straps for attaching to my pool cover roller was included in the price. All in all a very satisfactory experience
Negative reviews
Is this company even operating any more???? – I have ordered and paid for a pool cover but two weeks later it is yet to arrive. I have called, emailed, used Facebook to try and contact the company but no one seems to be home. I’ll try and recover my money via my credit card. I don’t understand what’s gone wrong but I’m at my whits end!

Disappointed – Product was delivered quickly, however it was a different size to the one ordered. After repeated attempts to contact the company, I eventually was able to speak to someone. Unfortunately no good outcome here as the company representative was happy with their service and delivery despite the product delivered being a different one to the size ordered. Show details
Not a good experience – Don’t believe the 2 - 3 days delivery. It’s been 2 weeks and still haven’t received mine! Communication slow. Never answer the phone. Go elsewhere

Pool cover – The pool cover is great! However, the time taken to deliver is not accurate while the shipping stated the cover would arrive on the 8th of February it only arrived on the 14th of February. Show details
Easy purchase – Easy to order, arrived within a few days. My tip - don't pull the inner tube all the way out or if you do, remember which side went together! Pool cover was easy to cut to fit the pool. Has already reduced the amount of chlorine required and the pool is cleaner and warmer.
Happy customer – Easy to navigate website. Prompt delivery and looks to be a quality pool cover. I wouldn’t hesitate to deal with this company again. Thankyou
Pleasant and rewarding – Web site was easy to use, intuitive and we received the parcel in an amazingly short time. Considering the time was in the lead up to Christmas, this was most surprising and welcome.
Great service – Great service and quick delivery. Not much else to say other than it seems to be a great product at a very reasonable price. Staff were very helpful and friendly ( via emails )
YouTube for helpful videos – Thank you for your prompt service. The bubble pool cover is doing a great job; we have seen an immediate improvement in pool temperature. I would recommend reference to YouTube videos regarding attachment of the straps to the roller; we found that was the best way to learn of the correct way to attach the straps.
Second time around and still gets 10 stars – Previously had one of their covers and it was fantastic lasting 9 years. Upgraded to their new cover and looks great. Fantastic service providing information and the delivery was ultra fast. Also purchased one of their covers to protect whilst on the roller. Quiet different to the one provided 9 years ago. One fits all with trimming required. Will do the job but preferred the previous design. Great product and service.

Well worth the research – whilst i have yet to install the new liner, what i can say is that the service was brilliant. Very good communication and delivery was very fast. Can recommend highly
Blue Titanium pool cover – Arrived fast and exactly as described. Excellent quality pool cover! We purchased the blue titanium and could not be happier with this product. I recommend this company. :)
Trustworthy and efficient – Product sent matched order and exceeded dimensions so there was no chance of disappointment. Good response from seller and second product purchased from Pool express without any Hiccups.
Got what I hoped for ! – Pool cover arrived on time ,as ordered and in good condition . My order was handled promptly and the delivered cover has a generous margin for shrinkage which has been an issue with previous covers. This is the third cover for my 18 year old pool and I expect it will serve me as well as previous covers but for a more reasonable cost than buying… Read more
from a retailer. My 40 foot lap pool is surrounded by trees , solar heated and salt water with very heavy use in season so it will not have an easy life .Apart from the benefits of minimising evaporation and use of pool chemicals it will help control leaf entry into the pool and wear and tear from frequent trips to the roller!
Good product – Good communication, great prices for Australian made product not Chinese like so many others, easy to setup and install took me 1 hr from unpacking to having it on pool and trimmed to size . 1 change I would love though would be the colour of the adjustable black straps from the reel to cover , the black stands out and looks ugly would love an option for these in white, otherwise very happy with purchase Show details
Basically good though with some unforeseen frustrations – The cover and roller arrived in reasonable time, though it was a couple of days later than suggested. The items were all present and correct. I found the instructions to be a little lacking in necessary detail when setting up the roller, particularly at the start of the process. One tube was inside another but the nesting was very stiff so… Read more
although I had understood in principle, I started to doubt whether it was really meant to slide out. I do not assemble such items frequently but it took me a lot longer than the time suggested. Rather like IKEA on a smaller scale! I had ridiculous problems paying thanks to Paypal's poor set up. Afterpay seems a lot better. Paypal was such a pain that I have closed my account with them. It started by claiming my very standard IP address was suspicious and eventually it caused my credit card to be frozen for no reason at all.
Highly recommend – Ordered a pool blanket clarity clear colour. Quality feels great.very helpful service team for sizing. Prompt delivery excellent updates in transit. So happy already recommended a friend who is purchasing one too! Show details
Exceeded expectations – I recently purchased both my pool cover and roller. I was amazing at how seamless and easy it was to make the purchase. Delivery was quick, and even when I had a small part missing, one quick email and I was dealt with in the most friendly and efficient way I could have imagined. Within hours I was contacted, Apologies were made (honestly non… Read more
needed though!) and the part required was in the post that evening and arrived the following day. I couldn't be happier with my purchase and would not hesitate to recommend this company and their team to anyone.
