A common household item that can substitute for a liquid solar blanket is plastic wrap or a large sheet of clear plastic. When placed over a pool, it helps retain heat and reduces evaporation, similar to a liquid solar blanket's function. Ensure the plastic is secured properly to prevent it from blowing away and to maximize its effectiveness in trapping heat.

Is the liquid solar blanket called Tropical Fish still available?
Yes. Intheswim.com has them.
Can you use liquid solar fish and a solar blanket at the same time to enhance pool water warmth?
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.
How do you keep a solar blanket from blowing away?
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.
Should you leave the vinyl pool cover on when using a solar blanket or does the pool cover above the solar blanket hinder the solar blanket's performance?
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.

Bubbles on a solar blanket can break and come off due to various reasons such as exposure to the sun's UV rays, chemical imbalance in the pool water, poor maintenance, and age of the solar blanket. Wind, rough handling, and high temperatures can also contribute to the breaking and detachment of bubbles. Regularly cleaning and storing the solar blanket properly when not in use can help prevent this issue.

How do you install a solar blanket with a roller?
To install a solar blanket with a roller, first, position the roller at one end of the pool, ensuring it's securely mounted. Unroll the solar blanket over the pool's surface, aligning it properly with the edges. Attach the blanket to the roller, usually through a series of clips or straps, and then use the roller mechanism to roll the blanket up for storage when not in use. Finally, ensure it's tightly secured to prevent any slipping during operation.
