Put a 1 1/2 PVC pipe down the middle of the cover . Attach it to the cover with stainless bolts ,nuts, washers. Put an elbow on one end so you turn the pipe. The cover will roll up quickly in the water . I would recommend a thin cover to make it easier to roll
It's not possible to add optimizer plus to a pool with the solar cover on. You will need to remove the solar cover from part or all of the pool in order to put optimizer or other pool treatment products into your swimming pool water.

A solar pool cover can help increase the temperature of a pool by around 5-10 degrees Fahrenheit depending on factors like sunlight exposure and pool size. The amount of heat gained will vary but generally, solar pool covers are effective at harnessing solar energy to warm up the pool water.

It is depends on the type, brand and size. It cost about $219 for the 10m x 6m solar swimming pool blanket cover and $512 for the solar pool cover 500 micron series.
Yes. The filter will pull water into the skimmer from under the cover and send it back into the pool through the return line. In fact, when using a solar cover the pool will warm slightly faster if the water is circulating (the solar cover is continuously heating all of the water rather than a just a small layer of already warm water right under the cover). Heat flows faster the greater the temperature difference. Hope this helps...
A pool with a solar cover will absorb the heat faster during the day and when left on the pool over night it will prevent the loss of heat.
The purpose of a solar pool cover is to retain heat in the pool and reduce evaporation. It captures sunlight during the day, warming the water, and helps to maintain a comfortable temperature for swimming. Additionally, it minimizes debris accumulation and reduces chemical use by limiting exposure to the elements. Overall, a solar pool cover enhances energy efficiency and extends the swimming season.
They are the same thing basically. Pool Cover, Solar Cover, solar Blanket are all used interchangeably. It's basically some material, usually a plastic bubble mesh or vinyl covering that goes over the pool. The exception to this is Winter Cover which generally is heavier and designed to protect your pool during long winter months.
