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.
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
It really depends if you are still getting sun rays.......
mine has lasted 30 yrs and there not a scratch on it
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.
The side of the pool cover with bubbles is the lower side.

The side with the bubbles sticking out
The bubbles go down on to the waters surface.
man dat solar blanket is a lie bro they dun made that up in the 60s and now its all over da place selling records and makin dat top 100 u know back in my day we didn have dis in place
The reason could be caused from putting your solar cover back on the pool after you have just shocked the pool, the other reason could be that you are not placing your solar cover in the shade or covering it when you remove it from the pool. Both can casue the bubbles to deflate and or cause them to come apart from the solar cover. ANSW:: dragging the cover over the coping and across the deck will cause wear and breaking of the bubbles. Leaving the cover on the grass or cement deck will generate very high heat and destroy the cover in a very short period. k Answer: If you're bubbles have popped, maybe its time to try something new. Check out www.liquidpoolcovers.com for a nice and easy alternative to plastic bubble blankets that you won't have to fight with.
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.
