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.
What else can I help you with?
How do solar covers work?
Solar covers work by capturing the sun's heat to warm up the pool water during the day and preventing heat loss at night. They also help to reduce evaporation and chemical consumption in the pool. The cover acts as a barrier between the water and the outside elements, trapping heat and keeping the pool's temperature more consistent.
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.
Does the thickness of a pool solar cover help heat it faster?
Yes, a thicker pool solar cover can help heat the pool faster because it provides better insulation and helps to retain more heat in the water. Thicker covers also tend to be more durable and last longer than thinner covers.
What does the thickness of a pool solar cover have to do with the way it works?
The thickness is usually relative to the 'years' of warranty on the cover.. the thicker the cover, the more layers, or thicker layer of protective/insulative coating on the core of the solar blanket. In my experience it is worth buying the extra thick cover. they are much more durable , which is good because the corrosive nature of the water over the years.
How can pool covers help to keep heat in the pool?
Pool covers help to keep heat in the pool by acting as a barrier that prevents heat from escaping through evaporation. The cover traps the heat generated by the sun during the day and prevents it from dissipating into the air at night, helping to maintain the pool's temperature.
Do pool solar covers work at night?
Yes they do work at night they are mention to keep heat in.
Where can I purchase pool solar blankets online?

What does the solar pool covers offer?
Thermal pool covers prevent water from evaporating. They help in locking the heat in the pool. So, the water stays hot for longer time. Unlike regular pool covers, thermal pool covers are made of special thermoplastic material, which attracts sun rays. So, the cover functions as solar heater and warms up the water using natural solar energy. So, thought you spend a little more for thermal pool covers, they help in saving electricity and water bills in the long run.
What is the price range for pool covers?
It is depends on the type, brand and size. It cost about $219 for the 10m x 6m solar swimming pool blanket cover and $512 for the solar pool cover 500 micron series.
Is there an inexpensive place online to order a solar pool cover?
Leisure Living offers solar swimming pool covers starting at $16.99 . Prices depend on size and type of liner. For more information please visit the following link, and click on "solar pool covers" on the right hand side: http://www.poolsupplies.com/ www.cheappoolproducts.com/Solar~Blankets~Pool~Cover~Reels_62~supplies.html - I reviewed this web site and it seems like a good place to start looking.
Is there a solar pool cover that doesn't look like bubble wrap?
My research online suggests that the 'bubble wrap' technology is standard for solar pool covers since the bubbles form the trapped heat layer. Regular pool covers do come in other styles, including mesh, vinyl or plastic as well as manual or motorized.
Does 2 solar covers work any better than one on a swimming pool?
Yes they do. Plus they are safer most are capable of generating more heat that a solar cover. The effect is that Solar Sun Rings with 70% to 80% coverage outperform bubble pack covers with 100% coverage. cheers mark tahiliani (jm)
Does a pool pump work harder when solar panels are added?
Pool Pumps are designed and built to work hard. You may create some additional back pressure by adding solar panels. as long as the pump is sufficient to fill the solar panels with water you should have no harm done by adding solar to your pool
Should in ground pool solar covers be cut to the shape of the pool?
Yes, buy the closest size to your shape of pool, roll it out onto pools surface and trim to fit as closely as possible .
Do solar pool heaters work?
Yes, they are well worth the cost.
