Purchase a cover and cut it to fit your shape. It will void the warranty, but honestly- it's really just a piece of plastic- and what would the warranty actually cover? Estimate your square footage of the pool. You're going to have to buy a solar cover that is larger than the pool. Lay it out over the pool and trim to fit. Several smaller, cheaper covers would be more economical than purchasing one large cover. You're going to cut it anyway. 8 mil should be thick enough- unless you live in a cooler climate, then purchase 12 mil thickness.

You lay it across the surface of the pool.
With a solar blanket . They also have solar heaters you can hook up to them.
Yes.
Pool temperatures can be increased by installing a pool heater. They can also be raised by using a solar blanket.
If this blanket is vinyl as many are then use Aqua Seal or Seal All.
It should work alright however the blanket may interfere a litle with the movement of the hose at the surface.
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.
A good solar blanket is durable, UV-resistant, and able to effectively retain and transfer heat from the sun to the pool water. A bad solar blanket may be low quality, prone to tearing or deteriorating quickly, and may not effectively heat or maintain the pool temperature.
It's a polyvinyl cover that lays on top of a pool and keeps heat in.
You can use a solar cover reel to keep the solar blanket securely in place. Alternatively, you can invest in cover clips or straps that attach the blanket to the edges of the pool. Additionally, make sure to store the blanket properly when not in use to prevent it from blowing away.
