The solar fish works fine in my pool in the east end of long island. The fish leaks a small amount of alcohol on the surface of the pool which helps to maintain heat. The cost of each fish is approx. $25.00 and last about 2 months Although the solar fish do work fine they are best used where you will have people swimming a lot or where a traditional pool blanket will be impractical as they are far less efficient. When it comes to preventing chemical/water evaporation and heat loss, the liquid covers (fish/Heatsavr) reduce about 50% of the loss and a Solar blanket can reduce up to 90%.
Also the fish are more expensive, depending on your swimming season and size of your pool you can spend anywhere from to $100~$200+/year on fish/Liquid cover, which is often more than you would pay for a blanket that will last many years.
