User questions & answers

Question:	How many ounces of Cover Free for a 27,000 gallon pool and how often should you reuse it
Answer:	I stopped using mine as it was having no effect on evaporation or heating the pol, I went back to the solar cover. I'm told 4oz was to cover an area of 680sq ft so I used 5 oz for 720 sq ft which is what my pool area was and it had no effect at all.
Question:	Seems to me if it create a layer on top of the pool and you have a skimmer pool filter, wont it gum up your DE filter mechanism faster
Answer:	No did not gum my filters at all , but the product only works marginally at best keeps some water from evaporating but does not keep the water warm on cold nights, save your money and buy a cover,
Question:	How soon after putting this in can you swim
Answer:	This product is not irritating or dangerous. Swimming can be done right away.
Question:	Will this work with a salt water pool? Also are Polymers safe
Answer:	Absolutely, have used in my salt water pool for about a year. You'll most likely notice reduced evaporation first. A side effect of evaporation is cooling, so there is also a slightly less loss of temperature. Here in So Fl. we use it in the fall and spring. Winter here (w/solar heating) requires a "bubble plastic" solar cover to use pool year round. Up north I would use it all summer long. Here in Summer the pool is often close to 94/95 w/o any cover and solar heat shut down, so we just run the deck jets and replace the water evaporation when it doesn't rain enough to keep the pool filled and temp down below 90. I like this product and use it a lot; it isn't magic, but it sure helps reduce water evaporation (just for the record, we also use 50ppm borate in the pool water as well). Also I have found after the first 2 doses, I only need to add more product every other week (if you had kids and loads of splash out) then maybe you might need to add more each week.

Answer:	It gets filtered in and forms a layer on your he surface.
Question:	Will it hurt your eyes if you swim under water with eyes opened
Answer:	It didn't hurt your eyes, but it also didn't keep the pool warm either.
Question:	How much do I add to a 5,000 gallon pool and how often
Answer:	You would add 1 oz a week
Question:	Why state the dosage (4oz per 20k gallons) when this is a surface film. Shouldn't this depend on surface area not volume
Answer:	I just followed directions and worked fine

• SAVES WATER : Reduces water evaporation by up to 50%

It will not effect the plumbing or filtration and will not damage vinyl liners or any other type of pool surface in any way.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can it be used with a pool heater
Answer:	Yes, it acts as a liquid blanket. It will keep heat in and prevent evaporation after your heater has reached optimal temperature.
Question:	how many ounces in the bottle and how many needed to add to pool
Answer:	I have 10,000
Question:	Does it warm a cold pool
Answer:	This does not instantly warm the pool. I use it as directed and what I notice is a very hard to see thin layer on top of the water that absorbs the sun's warmth. You can only see it at an angle in the sun. What the product does for my pool is warms it by about 5 degrees. I live in Pennsylvania so this extends our swim time into September. My Aunt now uses it and she could see the difference. Check your thermometer before you apply the product. You will see a difference in a couple of days .
Question:	how long does it last
Answer:	We add it every 30 days as per thr instructions & it works great. Will never go back to a solar cover.

What is LiquidHeat?

LiquidHeat is a liquid solar blanket that acts much like a conventional pool blanket. Once LiquidHeat is released into the pool it forms a thin layer that covers the entire pool surface. This cover will reduce water evaporation by up to 50%. Evaporation accounts for 90% of heat loss from a pool. It can also help reduce pool heating energy costs.

LiquidHeat is harmless to all swimmers. It is also harmless to pets drinking from the pool surface.

LiquidHeat will not affect the chemical balance (PH, chlorine, alkalinity) of the pool. It will not affect the plumbing or filtration and will not damage vinyl liners or any other pool surfaces in any way.

For 20 years, LiquidHeat has had a proven track record in municipal and commercial swimming pools. It has been sold for over 10 years for residential pools in our original TROPICAL FISH Liquid Solar Blanket and millions of swimming pool owners benefit from its use.

How does LiquidHeat work?

Simply speaking, LiquidHeat is a lighter than water solution that floats on the surface of the pool water. The particles of the liquid are attracted to each other forming a thin layer over the entire pool surface reducing evaporation. LiquidHeat’s molecules are so tiny that they are 500 times smaller than the spaces found in a high end filter system.

Unlike a conventional pool blanket which has to be removed before swimming can begin, LiquidHeat breaks apart whenever the water is disturbed but when the water becomes calm, LiquidHeat regroups to reform the protective layer. LiquidHeat adjusts perfectly to the always-changing activity levels in the pool throughout the day. A custom made cover that is constantly working whenever the pool surfaces are calm.

Liquid Heat Benefits

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this chemical affect the pump and filter of the Below ground pools
Answer:	We used it a few times didn’t notice any improvements in evaporation or changes to pump or filter
Question:	Can you swim immediately after adding to water
Answer:	The purpose is to trap heat in the pool. Swimming will disturb the barrier layer
Question:	Doesn't say what is in it. Called and was told propylene glycol. Anti freeze? I'm worried about swimming in it
Answer:	It could be dangerous if direct contact from bottle to eye, nose, or mouth. But once mixed in with the water it should be diluted enough to be safe. I’ve been using for two months now and swimming hasn’t been an issue. Hope this helps.
Question:	Does this work better than a solar cover
Answer:	We feel the solar cover works better. If your pool is in the sun and it 's cool it works decently...but if the temp drops into the low 60' s you've lost alot of what you gained

User questions & answers

Question:	Can it be used for inground pool
Answer:	My pool is above ground and it works well for that. I don't see why it wouldn't work for an inground.
Question:	which solar cover heats better clear or blue
Answer:	According to my research, clear is best. The clear allows more sunlight to penetrate into the pool and then the bubbles create insulation to keep the heat in the pool. Clear is supposed to heat better and more evenly. I have a blue cover now but after using it the end of last season and all of this season (bought it a year ago exactly) many of the bubbles have disentergrated and the tops of the bubbles are coming off into the pool.. which I would think is not good for the pump. The blue cover attracts a lot of heat but it only goes about 2" into the pool. So the solar cover is actually just holding the heat at the top and not allowing a deeper penetration of the sunlight. At least that's the theory I read and makes sense to me. Think of a clear paneled greenhouse where the sunlight is able to penetrate into the space and heat it up more than green colored panels do. Anyway.. since mine is starting to deteriorate I'm planning on getting a clear one this time around. I figure it may also help to slow down the deterioration since it won't heat up the cover itself so much.
Question:	Are the air pockets suppose to to filled with air like bubble wrap? They aren’t
Answer:	Is this like a joke question? Air pockets...filled with air...I would think so. Can't actually say on the 21 Foot round. They were all pretty much filled on my 18 Foot Round.
Question:	Does it keep out insects
Answer:	Since it sits on top of the water and is not sealed around the edges, it's possible. However, we haven't seen many bugs in the water.

User questions & answers

Question:	can I leave the solar cover on the pool for the winter (Florida, no freezing temp
Answer:	It's the same as a pool cover. . Mine is three years old... Big help when opening pool
Question:	If I don't have a heater for my inground pool will this cover help to warm the water
Answer:	It does have a reinforced border but no metal grommets, but it does have heavy duty, thick vinyl/plastic tabs that the cable runs through and is a much better design than the pool cover we got, that does have the metal grommet (half of which pulled out after the first year of use). We have been very pleased with our leaf cover and it has met our needs quite well...seems to be a good product. It is on the pool now and this is our second year of use...we'll take it off after all (most) of the leaves have fallen. I do recommend this product.
Question:	Will this help me save water by reducing the evaporation? Or will it heat up the water and cause more to evap
Answer:	It's just like the pool cover, except on this cover, all the holes are spaced the same, so inside one hole, to the outside of the other, and keep going, then use a tensioner
Question:	which side down
Answer:	our pool is a 27 round and we bought a 28 round net for it. it was plenty big to go around

User questions & answers

Question:	ft cover doesn’t cover my 16 ft pool to the edges? How will that retain the heat
Answer:	It should still help to retain heat. My experience is different. My 21 foot round cover is a bit larger than surface of the pool. Seems like a good question to pose to the manufacturer.
Question:	How many days does it take to warm the pool for early spring use
Answer:	Solar covers have an added bonus of being able to raise the temperature of a pool, but this is dependent on multiple factors. Ambient temperature, length of time in direct sunlight, amount of sunlight, length of consistent use. Depending on these factors, and others, it can take a couple weeks before there is a noticeable change.
Question:	How does the 18' round pool solar blanket attach to the above ground pool to keep the wind from blowing it off
Answer:	The cover floats on the water. The surface tension of the water keeps it from blowing away. I live in the high desert and the wind blows everyday and sometimes it roars non stop for days at a time. I have never had my solar blanket blow off.
Question:	I see the instuctions for bubble side down. which side of the bubble side...blue or silver
Answer:	silver side down; or; blue side up.....

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the 20 x 40 solar blanket come with ties
Answer:	No, but I'm not certain how you would use ties. We've used solar blankets for almost 30 years but never any ties.
Question:	how much will it raise the temperature of a 16 x
Answer:	Noticeably different I'd say doing it consistently for 5 days or so has raised it at least 10 degrees. I roll it up in the morning and cover it at night. Even at current weather (upper 70's in So Cal), I put the blanket on for couple days during evening time, temperature increased. If you want warmer pool without installing a heater, definitely get it. Just remember to uncover during the day (or at least during time when the filter is running) and cover it before sun down.
Question:	can you cut this pool cover to fit or does it have to stay the length that it comes
Answer:	Yes it can be trimmed to fit your pool. However, you will probably need to replace it within two years because it WILL fall apart and the company does not stand behind the warranty.
Question:	What do we do if we have a warranty claim? Just started using this in April 2016 and it is already disintigrating in one section
Answer:	Go to your account settings and notify Amazon
