What else can I help you with?
Which way up dose a solar pool cover go?
The smooth side of a solar pool cover should face down toward the water to help trap heat and prevent debris from entering the pool. The bubbles or air pockets on the cover should face up, as they help to capture and retain heat from the sun.
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
Would the sun warm up a pool?
Yes, the sun can warm up a pool through a process called solar heating. When sunlight hits the pool water, the water absorbs the energy and gradually warms up. This is a natural and energy-efficient way to heat a pool.
How do you turn off a solar calulator?
Solar calculators run on the Sun. So if you throw one into a black hole that sucks up all the light.... Seriously, if it doesn't have an 'off' button then just let it stay on. Why bother turning it off if it is not using batteries you have to buy and replace?
Which solar feature is shaped like an arch?
A solar flare arches up from the surface of the sun.
Which way up dose a solar pool cover go?

How much heat gained with solar pool cover?
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.
Will a concrete pool with no reflective liner heat up faster with or without a solar cover during the day?
A pool with a solar cover will absorb the heat faster during the day and when left on the pool over night it will prevent the loss of heat.
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
Does a above ground Pool cover provide any heating for above ground pool water?
Your regular cover won't heat the pool, it will hold the heat, but it will not heat it up. You need a solar blanket if you are looking for something to warm your pool.
Blue and silver solar pool cover which side faces the water?
The silver side should be the one "Touching" the water, this allows the light to pass through the blue and light bounding back up from the bottom to be trapped by the silver.
Can you put a solar cover on bubbles down?
Down, if you hope to heat your pool with it the bubbles (in theory) will heat up from the flat side. As there is more surface area from the bubbled side more heat (energy) will transfer to the water. I've never read any studies myself but I've read differing opinions from people in other posts. Some state the the solar cover actually blocks the sun and less heat is transfered on sunny days and that it is more beneficial to use take the cover off. Personally I find that if you leave the cover on when not using the pool, except when it's raining, the temperature stays the highest. Ensuring the cover is clean and there is no standing water on top of the cover really helps.
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.
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
When using a solar blanket in your hot tub do you put the bubble side face up?
All Solar Pool Covers are placed on your swimming pool with the bubble side down, or facing the water. This allows an air pocket to form under the cover to trap heat & provide the maximum insulation value the cover is designed for. -Charlie Goss President DPD Pools / PoolDeals.com
What is a solar ball?
It keeps your pool warm. "This effective solar ball keeps your above ground or in ground pool warmer by spreading an invisible layer of non-toxic, biodegradable film. This invisible layer cuts down on one of the major pool cooling forces – evaporation. Up to 60% as effective as a traditional solar pool cover. Best of all Solar Ball works all the time and there is no cumbersome solar pool cover to haul around. Simply drop the Solar Ball in your pool’s skimmer and its special time released delivery system will keep your pool warm for 30 days. It is not affected by automatic pool covers." - http://www.pcpools.com/products/solarball.html?sku=NS794&id=117
Does an above ground solar cover reel stay in place across the pool or can you swing it out of the way?
It all depends on how it is set up.
