## Description

Our Solar Blankets are made to give you the maximum heating and insulation properties, combined with long life. Durable 12 – mil blankets are loaded with thermal bubbles that retain heat at night and on cloudy cool days. Our transparent blue color helps ensure that the sun's heating rays are reaching your pool water. Your Pool Will Be Up To 15 °F warmer than an uncovered pool. All our blankets are u. V-Neck. - Protected so they last under the most intense sunlight.

Review: I live in Hawaii where it is sunny most days. I found I had to add quite a bit of water to my pool due to evaporation at least once a week, sometimes more in the summer. Since installation of the solar blanket, I haven’t had to add water to the pool yet (it’s been over a month) and had to lower the pool level when we had several days of heavy rain. It was super easy to install and easy to cut to shape (mine is a kidney shaped pool). If you have a rectangular shape pool, it’ll be even easier! The blanket also stopped the dead leaves and debris from my trees from going into the pool. It does warm up the water (my pool is not heated), which is a bonus for me. So if you like your water cool, you will need to remove the cover a couple of days before using to cool it down. Overall, this product works great for reducing the amount of evaporation from the pool and helping to keep the pool cleaner. I highly recommend it. Addendum: Now that I’ve had this cover for a year, I’m disappointed to report that the durability is not great and it has shown signs of disintegration — the bubbles are often found floating in the pool. I did see a video showing the exact problem I’m experiencing. I wished I had seen this before purchasing. Although it states there is a five year warranty, when that customer attempted to talk to the company, he was met with resistance stating the information had to still be in the cover itself. Also there is a prorated amount you still have to pay and also the cost of shipping for them to send a replacement. Something to consider before purchasing this product.
Review: Product was as listed and size was perfect. Will see how it hold temp over the months to come.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: which side down**
A: Bubble side down.  The bubbles diffuse the sun's rays into the water warming it better than if the smooth side was down.  Actually it will warm your pool a good 5 to 8 degrees more with the bubbles down (facing the water).  Plus it adheres to the water better in windy situations.  It is also easier to sweep or clean the solar blanket when the smooth side is up.

**Q: Will this help me save water by reducing the evaporation? Or will it heat up the water and cause more to evap?**
A: Even though the water heats up, it's trapped under the cover which minimizes the evaporation rate.  (It would reduce it completely if it was totally sealed) There will be minimal evaporation around the sides, and if there are any holes that allow water to come to the top, but my "refill" rate has been cut at least 75-80%.  Here during the summer, I used to have to refill every 7-10 days. So far I've done it only once in the last few weeks.  Not sure if I can share links, but there is an article on energy (dot) gov on Swimming Pool Covers and it references some good stuff.

**Q: If I don't have a heater for my inground pool will this cover help to warm the water?**
A: Florida: 60 degrees...Utah: 80 degrees.....  Solar covers are much more effective (and necessary) in the dry sunny climate found west of the Rockies than in the more humid climate east of the divide.  In dry climates pools get cold even with lots of sun because almost all pool heat is lost through evaporation, and solar covers effectively reduce that.  In June and July, solar radiation keeps my pool at 80-83 degrees if I cover the pool immediately after swimming to prevent evaporation.

**Q: can I leave the solar cover on the pool for the winter (Florida, no freezing temp)**
A: Sure, you can leave the solar cover on. It will still add some heat into the water but the better use is that it will keep debris out of the pool. Even if the pool is not used during the winter season.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by D***Z on June 28, 2016*

Best solar liner I have ever purchased! It arrived quickly and very well wrapped with no issues. Since I do have a pool design with rock formations and a waterfall, I had to cut it to fit and that was done very easily. I put it in by myself and let the sun soften it up for about a half hour and was able to mold it to the edges/curves where I needed it before I commenced cutting it to size. With our Arizona heat, it doesn't take long to heat up the pool and we have been able to swim late into the evenings as it kept the pool water around 89 degrees and evaporation down! When we want to swim it only takes us less than 20 minutes to remove liner. My hubby and I pull it out half-way where I can rinse with the hose all dirt/leaves that accumulate on top and as he is continuously rolling up this end, I continue to rinse off the remainder of the liner until we have it clean and totally rolled to put off to the side for swimming. It is not heavy, bulky or that much of an inconvenience as I though it would be. We have many trees, plants and bushes on our property so the pool has needed continual cleaning due to the strong winds we have had lately and lots of leaves and flowers falling in it and making quite a mess of things. This liner has made it so much easier to maintain and I couldn't be more grateful as it has spared me hours of pool maintenance and allowing late night swimming. Sometimes, I don't have to put the cover on for 2 days because the pool's water is still very warm from the previous day. This liner is much sturdier than some I have seen at the local big box stores and a much better price through Amazon. So far, I am very pleased with this purchase and the feasibility of this liner is worth every penny. In the past, I always bought solar rings, but they did very little in keeping out debris and got dirty as leaves clung to them. They were also either deflating or getting rusty as water got inside the rings and I found myself replacing them because they rarely lasted beyond one season. Not only were they a bad investment, but they did a very inadequate job of heating up the pool and that was enough incentive to try out this solar liner. I have had this cover on for a month and will provide a follow-up when the season ends to evaluate its durability. Presently, I am very content with this purchase and its quality!
