First, the small variation in thickness between makes and models of solar pool covers will not significantly change the amount of heat absorbed by the water. That being said, a thicker pool cover may be more tear or damage resistant than a thinner cover and thereby, last longer. But it may also be more expensive and heavier, especially when wet as you pull it out of the pool. Hope this helps ...
