• ATTRACTIVE BLUE DESIGN - Sun2Solar solar blankets are made from a film of thousands of tiny bubbles, which work together to collect and retain heat both at night and on those chilly days. The blue color provides an appealing look while also using the sun’s rays to help warm your swimming pool.
• MINIMIZE WATER EVAPORATION - The use of a solar cover helps in preventing up to 95% of pool water evaporation. When not enjoying a refreshing swim, keeping your pool covered lessens the vast amount of water lost into the environment. Fill up your swimming pool less and enjoy it more!

Don’t lose all of that warmth generated throughout the day when the sun sets. Assure your pool’s temperature does not drop too much by protecting it at night through use of a solar blanket.
• TRIM TO FIT - Your pool may be uniquely shaped and getting the right fit is as easy as finding a marker and sharp pair of scissors. Have the bubbles facing down to the water and trace a line on the cover showing where you should cut off the additional material. Do so confidently knowing this won’t affect the manufacturer’s warranty---they understand.

User questions & answers

Question:	Shipping dimensions 20x40 12 mil and weight
Answer:	I think he/she is asking what are the dimensions and weight of the box that the cover is shipped in. I would also like to know the answer.
Question:	What is this material made of? Is it safe to use in a pond
Answer:	It will be safe for at least a year. I have had the cover for exactly 13 months and the cover is starting to fall apart and is leaving small blue bubble debris in my pool. If you have fish in the pond, I would be concerned that the debris could harm the fish if they tried to eat it.
Question:	Is there a warranty on this solar cover
Answer:	They claim there is but when we had an issue with all of the bubbles falling off and clogging our filter leading a brand new pump to burn out they claimed the bubbles separating from the cover isn’t under warranty! We had the cover 10 months and our pool pump was just about a year old...we had put in a new pool. DO NOT BUY THIS COVER
Question:	Does any color work better than the other
Answer:	Hands down clear is the better cover for solar gain. Yhe Department of Energy say the following. "Outdoor pools gain heat from the sun, absorbing 75%–85% of the solar energy striking the pool surface. This is an important contribution to the pool's heating needs. A pool cover will decrease the solar gain contribution to some extent, depending on what type you use. A transparent bubble cover may reduce pool solar energy absorption by 5%–15%. A completely opaque cover will reduce it by 20%–40%. You need to consider this when selecting a pool cover."

They are easy to install by cutting the cover to the shape of your pool with scissors if it is irregularly shaped.

Using a pool solar blanket cover prevents the water from losing heat which will help let you enjoy your swim season even longer. It reduces water evaporation, chemical loss, and the amount of debris that can get in the water.

Fitting Your Blanket

To figure out what size solar cover you are looking for, measure the longest length and width of the pool to ensure you get complete coverage. Once you roll the cover out on top of the water, let it sit for about a day to adjust so it will lay completely flat. Once it has adjusted, cut the blanket to fit your pool if it is irregularly shaped. To make using a solar blanket cover even easier, use a solar cover blanket reel. This will help make the process of taking the cover on and off the pool more convenient.

Extend the Season

Solar blanket covers are a great way to help you enjoy your pool or spa even when the weather is a little cooler outside. It will help give you an extra month or two on either end of your normal swim season. This will allow you to open your pool earlier and close it later. Our solar blanket covers offer up to 80% in thermal efficiency which provides excellent heating and water retention. One of the best times to use the solar cover is at night to help keep the water from evaporating. It also keeps the temperature from dropping too low.

Caring for Your Cover

When using a solar blanket cover, you want take care and use it properly to help extend the life of your cover. If you add any chemicals to the water, wait at least 24 hours before you put the cover back on the pool. This prevents the cover from chemical damage that can shorten the life of your cover. It can result in the bubbles deteriorating when you put the cover back on too soon after treatment. When you are going to not use your solar cover blanket for a long period of time, make sure you clean it before storing.

Answer:	Seller- that part # is a hose adaptor. Do you have a # for the replacement plug?
Question:	does it make any difference which side is up

Walls will fall down until there's a bit of water in the bottom, but GREAT PRODUCT! MASTIFF MUST HAVE!!!
Question:	Will stay above water with water tubes pulled tight
Answer:	Lol unfortunately the dog does not come with the pool.

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.

User questions & answers

Question:	I just need to cover a pool at night to increase the pool temperature 5 F. Would this work
Answer:	This won't increase the water temperature. It will stop some evaporation and slow the water cooling. If you want to preserve the water temperature you would do better to look at thermal blankets for pools. They're basically heavy duty bubble wrap and not that expensive. I've used them and had good luck. Try to get a clear one so the sun can get through it to warm the water when it's left on during the day.
Question:	what size do i need to cover an 16x32 ft in ground pool
Answer:	21' X 36' in needed to cover a 16' X 32' pool
Question:	Mesh pool cover
Answer:	Not mesh. It's a tarp that sits on the water to block sunlight. A security mesh cover goes over this. Need to pump rain water off the tarp occasionally. Works great. Water always clear when open pool.
Question:	Plan to send this pool cover to Africa to keep pool clean. Will use it all year round and want to know if it will hold under intense sun in Africa
Answer:	You may want the Africa version. Thank you for your interest. FamilyPoolFun 320-695-2899

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the thickness ? 18mil or 16 mil
Answer:	It is basically a tarp with a tension string around it to tighten it to the pool. It’s heavy duty tarp material. Sorry I don’t have any kind of measurement.
Question:	Which ones are mesh covers
Answer:	Most all
Question:	how does the rain get off the cover ? my pillow shifted to one side and the rain is in the middle of the cover
Answer:	I have owned above ground pools since 1978. The seller of the first pool I purchased said not to use a pillow. He said it raises the cover out of the pool and expose it to the sun and wears it out. I took his advice and never used a pillow. I am on my second above-ground pool installed 1998. I have had many pool covers over the years and the majority of them wear out within about 3-5 years. I have had many types expensive 20 year warranty and cheaper ones. They all last about the same 3-5 years. I live in Southwest Ohio and have a 28 foot diameter pool. I have had this cover for about 2 years and so far it shows no wear. I purchased a leave cover a few years ago and put the leaf cover the solid cover. I helps hold the solid down during winds. When I get a nice sunny day in the first three months I take the leaf cover off and empty the leaves and sometimes I put it back on to hold it down during the Spring rains. During the winters I siphon the water off by using garden hoses. I have done this procedure for the past 5 years. I would provably purchase this cover again. My neighbor uses a pillow but he has only had a pool for about three years. He tries to secure the pillow but it come loose and floats to one side. I see this year he is not using a pillow. You are welcome to try my way or keep fighting with the pillow. Your choice. Wish you well.
Question:	if my pool is 24 ft. should I buy a 28 ft cover
Answer:	The 24 foot pool cover is actually 28 foot to allow for overhang You do not need to buy a bigger cover for that purpose. It is in the description. I own a 24 foot pool and buy a cover for a 24 foot pool.

Answer:	No. I had a horrible experience. You would be better of with a tarp. There is a rope that runs through the bottom so that you "can" tighten it. But as soon as you start to pull it tight, it rips the plastic, making it useless. Mine is at the bottom of my pool.
Question:	Can this cover be used for inflatable pool or only the ones with a metal frame
Answer:	The cover does best keeping the pool temp from dropping overnight. Partial shade should be fine.
Question:	Will this cover a pro series 15 ft round metal frame pool
Answer:	The pump can still be run with the cover.
Question:	Will this fit an easy set up pool tight enough to not blow off? how does one secure it
Answer:	I had a kidney shaped pool once, it had a stone in it. I have an Intex 18 ft pool. 18 ft in diameter. So you need to figure it out. I wouldn't recommend the Solar Cover as it works well for about 6 months then falls apart. Obviously the Solar Cover has no sunscreen in it.
