Yes, it will reduce evaporation, as long as there is a really good seal. As the water evaporates, which it will still do, it will hit the cover, re-condense, and fall back into the pool. The chlorine or any other chemicals will fall out of solution during this process so the chlorine concentration must be monitored.
