Can you use the chlorine floater when the solar cover is on or when people are in the pool?

No! the floater should never have to be placed under neath the cover. The reason is that the chlorine is not moving around the pool so it will be in one position and eventually eat through the cover. Always keep your cover off when adding chlorine and when chlorine tablets are in a floater.

∙ 11y agoYou can not use a floating chlorine dispenser and a solar pool cover at the same time. The solar blanket sits on the surface of the water, thus, a floating dispenser would be unable to float freely. It would end up sitting in one spot, unable to circulate in the water. This would result in spot chlorine damage to your solar blanket, and possibly to your pool finish.

Why do the bubbles in your solar blanket deflate?
Chlorine causes the entire blanket to degredate. It won't last as long as the manufacturers claim and the higher the chlorine level, the harder it is on your cover.
Does keeping a solar cover on the pool cause algae. I am in a shaded area and like to keep the pool cover on to keep in the heat. My pool keeps turning green and I want to know if is is the cover?
Algae is caused by sunlight and bacteria. The solar cover helps keep the chlorine in during the day under direct sun if in place; the green is probably due to bacteria rather than the the cover holding heat; scrub pool bottom and sides, add chlorine shock at 1 lb per 10000 gallons and run filter for 24 hours.

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.
Can you cut a square solar cover into circles - like the solar discs - and get good results - much safer than a full cover?
no
When is it necessary to remove a solar blanket from a pool and is removal necessary to maintain oxygen levels in the water?
A solar blanket is an inexpensive way to heat your pool water. It should not stay on during the of season. I recommend a winter pool cover. However, the heat fgenerated from the solar cover absorbs a significant amount of chlorine and tends to lower the Ph level in the pool. I suggest you regularly, atleast once a week, check the chemical levels in the pool water.
Why do the bubbles go face down on a solar cover?
The bubbles go face down on the solar cover because when the sun hits the smooth side if the cover it warms the bubbles up on the other side & the bubbles on the solar cover holds more heat than the smooth side
How do you use a solar cover on a swimming pool?
Lay your solar cover, bubble side down on top of the pool Just want to add, we bought a solar cover for our above ground Intex pool. The cover completely covers the pool and keeps the pool water very warm (which is the purpose). However, you need to double your chlorine to keep from getting algae. It's almost like having a spa. When I lift the solar cover, there is condensation on the cover and steam coming out. So you need to really watch your chlorine levels. : You may also want to try using a liquid solar cover. They are really easy and relatively inexpensive...best of all, you don't have to put them on and pull them off all the time. Check out www.liquidpoolcovers.com
What color solar cover is best?
purple
Can you use both a solar cover and the liquid solar cover Is there any advantage to it?
You can use both but the only advantage would be that you would still gain some heat and evaporation prevention from the liquid cover while the standard solar cover was off or while swimmers were present. When the standard cover is on you will gain very little benefit from having both.
What is The difference in a solar blanket and a solar cover?
They are the same thing basically. Pool Cover, Solar Cover, solar Blanket are all used interchangeably. It's basically some material, usually a plastic bubble mesh or vinyl covering that goes over the pool. The exception to this is Winter Cover which generally is heavier and designed to protect your pool during long winter months.
