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.
What else can I help you with?
Can you leave the solar cover on while super chlorinating a salt water pool?
Yes, you can leave the solar cover on while super chlorinating a saltwater pool, but it's generally not recommended. The cover can trap heat and prevent chlorine from dissipating, which may lead to uneven distribution of the chemicals. It's best to remove the cover during super chlorination to ensure proper circulation and to allow chlorine to effectively sanitize the water. After the process is complete and chlorine levels return to safe ranges, you can replace the cover.
Does keeping a solar cover on the pool cause algae. I am in a shaded area and like to keep the pool cover on to keep in the heat. My pool keeps turning green and I want to know if is is the cover?
Algae is caused by sunlight and bacteria. The solar cover helps keep the chlorine in during the day under direct sun if in place; the green is probably due to bacteria rather than the the cover holding heat; scrub pool bottom and sides, add chlorine shock at 1 lb per 10000 gallons and run filter for 24 hours.
What is an ETF that cover Solar stocks?
KWT and TAN both cover the solar space.
Why do the bubbles in your solar blanket deflate?
The bubbles in a solar blanket may deflate due to a variety of reasons, such as changes in temperature, air trapped inside the bubbles escaping, or wear and tear over time. It is important to regularly check and maintain your solar blanket to ensure optimum performance and longevity.
Can you use a liquid solar cover with a solar pool cover at the same time?
Yes, you can use a liquid solar cover and a traditional solar pool cover simultaneously. The liquid solar cover creates a thin film on the water's surface to reduce evaporation and retain heat, while the physical solar cover traps heat and reduces heat loss at night. Using both together can enhance the overall efficiency of heat retention in your pool. However, ensure that the liquid cover is compatible with the pool chemicals you are using.
When is it necessary to remove a solar blanket from a pool and is removal necessary to maintain oxygen levels in the water?
A solar blanket is an inexpensive way to heat your pool water. It should not stay on during the of season. I recommend a winter pool cover. However, the heat fgenerated from the solar cover absorbs a significant amount of chlorine and tends to lower the Ph level in the pool. I suggest you regularly, atleast once a week, check the chemical levels in the pool water.
Should you leave the vinyl pool cover on when using a solar blanket or does the pool cover above the solar blanket hinder the solar blanket's performance?
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.
Pool solar cover?
Useless
Can you cut a square solar cover into circles - like the solar discs - and get good results - much safer than a full cover?
no
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.
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
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
