Solar pool blankets - A Solar blanket warms your pool

Capture the sun's heat with a solar blanket and turn it loose on your pool! Thousands of tiny air pockets in the blanket material collect and retain heat during the day, which then serves to insulate your pool at night.

How do they work?

Solar blankets are designed to reserve heat. Solar energy passes easily through the blanket, as it lays on the surface of your pool. That heat is retained in the water since it cannot readily travel back up into the atmosphere, due to the special design of the blanket.

Advantages :

Expect your pool water temperature to increase by 10 to 15 degrees when using a solar blanket , typically reducing your gas or electric pool heater cost as much as 75%. With its thermal qualities, a solar blanket allows your pool water to stay warmer for a longer period of time, lengthening your swimming season as well.

Evaporation is the cause of most heat loss in pool, but that is also significantly reduced if a solar cover is place. In trapping the heat, a solar cover can reduce heat loss evaporation by nearly 100%. Pools stay cleaner with a solar blanket as well - so cut your chemical use in half. The blanket prevents yard debris from landing in the water, reducing overall maintenance time.
Solar pool covers are available in varying degrees of thickness and construction materials, but most are designed to operate on the same premise of absorbing heat and retaining heat through tiny air bubbles. Consider buying a portable storage reel to make fitting and storing your solar blanket a simple one-person task.
