Adding a solar blanket will definitely increase the amount of heat gained and held by the water each day compared to using no solar blanket at all. And remember to keep the solar blanket on at night also to keep the heat from the day in the water rather than transferring to the air. Hope this helps ... I disagree. While I have no "data" either way, my experience (and common sense) tells me: On a sunny calm (not windy) and warm day, you will gain more heat with the solar blanket off than on (since the blanket actually blocks some of the sun). On a windy, cloudy, or cold day, evaporation cooling may be greater than the sun warming effect so leaving the blanket on makes sense. Leaving it on day or night also makes sense if conserving water or chemicals is your main goal (reduced evaporation). Leaving it on at night or when the temperature of the water exceeds that of the air by some amount also makes sense. Leaving it off day and night early in the season when the water is colder than the air also makes sense (it will hold the cold in). Leaving it on too long (day or night) makes your pool green. Make any sense?

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.


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.


If there's a solar blanket on the pool water surface during a heavy rain will the solar blanket sink under the surface or will it keep floating?

It will keep floating. Some of the water will remain on the top of the cover, but most will run off the side and enter the pool.


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.

Solar blanket sinking in heavy rain with pump running?

If a solar blanket is sinking in heavy rain while the pump is running, it may indicate that the blanket is not properly secured or designed to handle excess water. Heavy rainfall can cause the blanket to become waterlogged and heavy, leading it to sink. Additionally, the pump may not be effectively removing water from the pool, resulting in a buildup that overwhelms the blanket. It’s essential to regularly monitor the situation and adjust the pump settings or remove the blanket during severe weather.


Will a concrete pool with no reflective liner heat up faster with or without a solar cover during the day?

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.
