Yes, the solar cover should touch the pool water. The cover absorbs the heat from the sun and then transfers that heat to the water. If the cover does not touch the water, most of the heat will end up in the air between the cover and the water rather than going into the water itself. Hope this helps ...

Should you leave the vinyl pool cover on when using a solar blanket or does the pool cover above the solar blanket hinder the solar blanket's performance?
Remove the vinyl cover when using a solar blanket to warm the water. If the vinyl cover is used at the same time as the solar blanket, the vinyl cover absorbs most of the heat and then transfers the heat into the air or water between the vinyl cover and the solar blanket. Then the heat transfers to the solar blanket and then, finally, into the water. When this happens, a lot of heat remains in the vinyl cover and air/water between the two covers instead of getting into the water. It is preferable to have the heat absorbed by the solar cover and then transfer directly into the water. Hope this helps... Too much redundancy in pool covers.
Do you leave the solar pool cover on an above ground pool while the pool filter is running?
Yes. The filter will pull water into the skimmer from under the cover and send it back into the pool through the return line. In fact, when using a solar cover the pool will warm slightly faster if the water is circulating (the solar cover is continuously heating all of the water rather than a just a small layer of already warm water right under the cover). Heat flows faster the greater the temperature difference. Hope this helps...
Does 1 year warranty for the iPod touch cover if it falls in water?
No.
Do you take a solar cover off in the event of rain?
The only reasons to take a solar cover off should be to swim or if the water temperature gets hotter than you desire.
Can you add optimizer plus to a pool with the solar cover on?
It's not possible to add optimizer plus to a pool with the solar cover on. You will need to remove the solar cover from part or all of the pool in order to put optimizer or other pool treatment products into your swimming pool water.
Do the bubbles on a solar cover go on top or in the water?
The bubbles need to go in the water, facing the bottom of the pool.
Will a solar cover left in the pool under the winter cover over the winter ruin the solar cover?
If the water balance is correct then no it will be fine, but in my experience it's generally not so I'd advise to remove it, dry and fold, and store out of direct sunlight.
Why does water cause cooling?
Because the water is cooler the hot touch that you have causes the water to be cooler than what is is actually.
What is the best way to clean iPod touch accessories?
The way that you can clean you iPod touch from all the water that got into it is buy buying rice and putting the iPod touch in it but you have to cover it all. The rice sucks up the water.

Should you let the solar blanket touch the top of the water or stretch it an let it hang over the pool .which one is would i see better results in pool tempter?
If you received no instructions with the pool cover then you would let the cover rest on the surface of the water. The blanket needs to touch the water in order to transfer the heat to the water. I frankly do not see how in the world you could ever stretch the blanket over the pool and not have it touch the water. The mechanism for doing that would be horrendous, teadious, cumbersum, time consuming, difficult and etc, etc etc. The latter type installation would take many days in order to raise the temp of the pool and maintain it. Having the cover suspended has no beneficial results. Aditionally, how would you keep the cover in place when the breezes came up or during heavy winds? k
Can you put a solar cover on bubbles down?
Down, if you hope to heat your pool with it the bubbles (in theory) will heat up from the flat side. As there is more surface area from the bubbled side more heat (energy) will transfer to the water. I've never read any studies myself but I've read differing opinions from people in other posts. Some state the the solar cover actually blocks the sun and less heat is transfered on sunny days and that it is more beneficial to use take the cover off. Personally I find that if you leave the cover on when not using the pool, except when it's raining, the temperature stays the highest. Ensuring the cover is clean and there is no standing water on top of the cover really helps.
