How do solar pool covers work?
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.
Does a solar blanket work?
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!

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
