No not really but the more you cover the more heating there will be. The cover is designed to heat the water under the cover so its effect will be diminished by the lack of total pool coverage. You will notice some warming just the same.

You should try to cover your entire pool, but if there's a gap here and there it won't matter. A good Solar cover raises your pool temp. about 10-15 degrees.

After use, allow it dry and roll it up nicely.

To effectively use a pool cover to keep heat in and maintain the temperature of your pool, make sure to cover the pool completely when not in use. This will prevent heat loss through evaporation and help retain the warmth in the water. Additionally, consider using a solar cover specifically designed to absorb and retain heat from the sun. Regularly cleaning the cover and ensuring a tight fit will also help maximize its effectiveness in maintaining the pool temperature.


When do you apply the solar pool cover?

You apply the solar pool cover either very early in the morning, or the night before you want to go swimming in the pool. Keep in mind, that if the sun hits it for long periods of time, it will make the pool water extremely hot, so make sure that it is in a partially shaded area if you are going to put it on the day before, and if the sun is always on it, then put it on the morning before you go swimming.

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.
