Does the bubble side of a solar pool cover go up or down if the bubble side is black and the smooth side is blue?
Personally, I disagree with the logic used by those above. If the bubbles are up, there will be larger surface area to absorb the sun's heat. Increased levels of heat absorption seems more important than the rate of heat transfer, especially when considering the fact that heat transfer takes place almost instantaniously.****i have tried it both ways, bubbles up or down. makes little or no difference heating. with bubbles down, though, it is easier to clean debrie off the cover and keep it clean.

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

What is better for a solar heating panel transparent cover Matt black base or Matt black cover and shiny base?
A transparent cover is better for a solar heating panel as it allows more sunlight to pass through and be absorbed by the black base, maximizing heat absorption. A matte black base is preferred as it is better at absorbing and retaining heat compared to a shiny base, which may reflect some of the sunlight away.
Is there a solar pool cover that doesn't look like bubble wrap?
My research online suggests that the 'bubble wrap' technology is standard for solar pool covers since the bubbles form the trapped heat layer. Regular pool covers do come in other styles, including mesh, vinyl or plastic as well as manual or motorized.
Which way up dose a solar pool cover go?
The smooth side of a solar pool cover should face down toward the water to help trap heat and prevent debris from entering the pool. The bubbles or air pockets on the cover should face up, as they help to capture and retain heat from the sun.
