Solar pool covers must always be placed with the bubble side facing down towards the water. This ensures the air bubbles make direct contact with the pool surface, allowing them to transfer heat efficiently into the water, and keeping the cover securely in place through suction.
A high-quality solar pool cover can typically raise your pool’s temperature by 10°F to 15°F over the course of a week. However, the exact speed depends on your region’s exposure to direct sunlight, the thickness (Series™) of the cover, and the ambient air temperature.
Solar pool covers work through heat retention and solar absorption. The cover acts as an insulator to prevent heat loss caused by evaporation (which accounts for up to 75% of pool heat loss), while the translucent or transparent material allows solar rays to pass through and heat the water directly.
To maximize the effectiveness and lifespan of your solar pool cover, keep it on whenever the pool is not in use, especially at night. Additionally, a solar cover reel can allow you to easily roll the cover off before swimming, and roll it back on immediately after swimming.
Solar covers are basically a summer must-have as a cost-effective way to heat your pool and keep it warm while preventing water loss from evaporation. It even helps maintain the chemical balance of your pool water and keep out debris.
