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 much heat do you get from a solar cover?

A solar cover can raise the temperature of a pool by around 5-10 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on factors like sunlight exposure, pool size, and ambient temperature. The cover helps trap heat in the water by preventing evaporation and heat loss.


Can you use both a solar cover and the liquid solar cover Is there any advantage to it?

You can use both but the only advantage would be that you would still gain some heat and evaporation prevention from the liquid cover while the standard solar cover was off or while swimmers were present. When the standard cover is on you will gain very little benefit from having both.

What is the best thickness for a solar pool cover?

First, the small variation in thickness between makes and models of solar pool covers will not significantly change the amount of heat absorbed by the water. That being said, a thicker pool cover may be more tear or damage resistant than a thinner cover and thereby, last longer. But it may also be more expensive and heavier, especially when wet as you pull it out of the pool. Hope this helps ...

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
