Absolutely yes! When we use our pool solar blanket we can get the temp up to around 90 with no problem. We live in Maryland. The key is to keep the cover on as much as possible and todefinitely leave it on a night when most heat is lost. The cover acts as a means to allow solar energy in and to keep it there. I would highly recommend a cover.
Buy a cover that is too big because they are easy to cut to size with scissors.
Good luck!
Bubbles on a solar blanket can break and come off due to various reasons such as exposure to the sun's UV rays, chemical imbalance in the pool water, poor maintenance, and age of the solar blanket. Wind, rough handling, and high temperatures can also contribute to the breaking and detachment of bubbles. Regularly cleaning and storing the solar blanket properly when not in use can help prevent this issue.
The pic associated with this answer has nothing to do with a Solar Cover or Solar Blanket. It looks as if these are solar panels for electricity. Solar blankets look like a stronger version of bubble wrap. Their primary purpose when they are laid on the water (bubble side down) is to keep whatever warmth the pool water has in it from escaping into the cooler air at night. They are usually a light blue or clear in color. Clear allows more sunlight into the pool to heat the water better.
A wet blanket is a better heat conductor than a dry blanket because water is more conductive than air. The moisture in the wet blanket helps to transfer heat more efficiently from the body to the blanket.
Yes, solar energy works well in Colorado due to its high number of sunny days. The state has good solar potential and many residents and businesses have installed solar panels to take advantage of this renewable energy source.
Yes, polarized sunglasses are not recommended for viewing a solar eclipse. Specialized solar viewing glasses or handheld solar viewers are recommended for safely viewing a solar eclipse.
If this blanket is vinyl as many are then use Aqua Seal or Seal All.
It should work alright however the blanket may interfere a litle with the movement of the hose at the surface.
You can use a solar cover reel to keep the solar blanket securely in place. Alternatively, you can invest in cover clips or straps that attach the blanket to the edges of the pool. Additionally, make sure to store the blanket properly when not in use to prevent it from blowing away.
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.

With a solar blanket . They also have solar heaters you can hook up to them.

"• The POOL ALARM can be used with a solar blanket." you can go to www.poolguard.com and read manuals for the different alarms they have.
You lay it across the surface of the pool.
A good solar blanket is durable, UV-resistant, and able to effectively retain and transfer heat from the sun to the pool water. A bad solar blanket may be low quality, prone to tearing or deteriorating quickly, and may not effectively heat or maintain the pool temperature.
To install a solar blanket with a roller, first, position the roller at one end of the pool, ensuring it's securely mounted. Unroll the solar blanket over the pool's surface, aligning it properly with the edges. Attach the blanket to the roller, usually through a series of clips or straps, and then use the roller mechanism to roll the blanket up for storage when not in use. Finally, ensure it's tightly secured to prevent any slipping during operation.
