Most pool covers are typically made of a UV-stabilized polyethylene or polypropylene; some are also made with a deterioration resistant vinyl.
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.
Useless
Yes, you can use a liquid solar cover and a traditional solar pool cover simultaneously. The liquid solar cover creates a thin film on the water's surface to reduce evaporation and retain heat, while the physical solar cover traps heat and reduces heat loss at night. Using both together can enhance the overall efficiency of heat retention in your pool. However, ensure that the liquid cover is compatible with the pool chemicals you are using.

A solar pool cover can help increase the temperature of a pool by around 5-10 degrees Fahrenheit depending on factors like sunlight exposure and pool size. The amount of heat gained will vary but generally, solar pool covers are effective at harnessing solar energy to warm up the pool water.

A solar cover reel is a device used to easily roll out and retract a solar pool cover. It typically consists of a crank or motorized system that allows the user to extend or retract the cover with minimal effort.

Install straps for a pool solar cover should typically be spaced about 3 to 4 feet apart. This distance allows for even support and ensures the cover stays secure while allowing for proper water circulation. However, it's always best to consult the manufacturer's recommendations for specific guidance based on the cover type and pool dimensions.
It's generally not recommended to turn on the pool heater while the solar cover is on. The cover can trap heat and prevent proper circulation, potentially leading to overheating or damage to the heater. Additionally, the cover can block the heater's exhaust, posing safety risks. It's best to remove the solar cover before heating the pool.
