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.
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.
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)

What could be wrong if your gas pool heater works during the day but does not work at night when it is cold and damp?
your heater is more than likely to be working at night, but simply retain the temperature rather than increasing it. a solar cover will assist this. Are you running the pool pump at night too. Pump not working nothing works.

Solar panels require sunlight to generate electricity through the photovoltaic effect. At night, there is no sunlight available to provide energy to the solar panels, so they cannot generate electricity. Solar panels are designed to work during the day when the sun is shining.

Do solar sun rings work?
While the website looks promising, it was disappointing to read the reviews by owners on the amazon.com website. Based on their comments, it appears they don't live up to the hype. http://www.amazon.com/review/product/B000P3N914?showViewpoints=1 They don't work at all. Had covers for 8 years and then bought the SSR and my neighbors pool is as warm as mine without them or any cover. Don't buy them get a cover. The company won't stand behind them at all. You could put your floater on the pool and will work as well. They are a waste of money. ++ We found this answer today and we wanted to show a product we found after searching for solar sun rings. We found solar sun discs. They are made our of Solar Pool Cover material. Thicker, no more blowing up, no more popping and having to send in for warranty. We found these at http://www.poolsupplyworld.com/pool-covers/solarsundiscs.htm They are a little bit cheaper than the solar sun rings. We felt it was a better deal all the way around.
