The way the liquid solar pool cover works is that it forms a film on the surface of the water that is more or less undetectable. You can manually add it each week or you can buy products that stay in the pool and slowly release the solution. This film reduces the amount of water loss due to evaporation and its effectiveness depends greatly on the surface area of your pools. 68000 Gallons is quite a large pool. If the pools is shallow with a large surface area it wont be as effective than if your pool is deep with a smaller surface area. This product will help either way but like I said, the extent to which it will work depends greatly on the dimensions of your pool. Another tid bit of info -- These liquid solar covers are only 12% as effective as the real deal, however I don't know if the bubble type cover is available in the size needed for your pools. Good luck.
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.
yes, you can.
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.
KWT and TAN both cover the solar space.
Unfortunately no, liquid pool covers cannot help with any debris (dirt, bucks, leaves, etc). You have to decide what is more important, the ease of using a liquid cover vs the debris catching ability of a plastic cover. There is also a price differential, of course. Sometimes a net and a good skimmer/filter will do the trick! Good luck!
A blanket can help increase the temperature up to 10 degrees, a liquid blanket less than that. Used together you will still only see a maximum of 10 degrees but the liquid cover will help minimize heat loss while the cover is off and people are swimming. Unless there is some reason you can't use a standard cover like high swimmer loads or indoor pools where you want to minimize off gassing all the time then you're generally better off with just using the standard blanket can getting a solar heater if you need more heat.
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.
Useless
Yes, solar liquid covers can be used with a cartridge filter system. These covers help to retain heat and reduce evaporation in pools, while the cartridge filter efficiently removes debris and contaminants from the water. It's essential to ensure that the cover is compatible with the pool's design and that it doesn't obstruct the filter's operation. Regular maintenance of both the cover and the filter will ensure optimal performance.

Well, in my solar system liquid isn't really that rare. The second planet in my solar system has an almost entirely liquid crust, and a liquid mantle. The third planet orbiting the star in my solar system has a surface over 75% covered in liquid, and has a liquid mantle. The sixth and seventh planets in my solar system both have large hydrogen oceans. Several of the moons orbiting the sixth and seventh planets in my solar system also have liquids. I don't see why liquid could be called rare in my solar system. What about yours?
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
