Blue Wave 14x28-ft Solar Pool Cover 12-mil Blue — Rectangle Thermal Bubble Blanket for Heat Retention

The Blue Wave 14x28-ft 12-mil rectangle solar pool cover is a lightweight thermal bubble blanket that captures solar energy, reduces evaporation and helps keep pool water warmer without added equipment.

This blue solar pool cover is engineered with thousands of downward-facing air-filled bubbles that sit on the water surface to collect sunlight and slow heat loss after sunset. Sized for 14 x 28 ft rectangular pools, the 12-mil construction strikes a balance between durability and easy handling—so you can spread, trim, roll and store it yourself. Compatible with both above-ground and inground pools, the cover also shields the water from debris and reduces evaporation, cutting routine maintenance time.

How does this solar cover warm pool water?

The cover converts sunlight into heat at the water surface: sunlight passes through the blue film, warms the bubbles and transfers that thermal energy into the pool. At night the blanket acts as an insulating layer that slows the rate of heat loss back to the air.

• Thermal bubble design concentrates solar gain directly at the surface.
• Blue film transmits sunlight efficiently while providing some UV blocking.
• Insulating effect reduces overnight cooling compared with an uncovered pool.
• Works passively—no electricity or plumbing required.

Will this cover fit my pool and how easy is it to use?

Designed for a 14 x 28 ft rectangular pool, the blanket can be trimmed with household scissors for a custom fit around ladders and other obstacles. The 12-mil thickness keeps the blanket light enough to handle while remaining sturdy for daily placement and removal.

• Trim-to-fit material for pools with accessories or irregular edges.
• 12-mil weight balances durability with easy handling by one or two people.
• Lay directly on water—no clips, straps or reel required (reels optional).
• Recommended rolling storage in shade to prolong life when not in use.

How does this cover help with maintenance and water loss?

By covering the water surface, the blanket blocks falling leaves and dirt and significantly cuts evaporation—both reduce refill frequency and the need for chemical adjustments. Less debris on the surface also shortens the time you spend skimming and vacuuming.

• Physical barrier keeps out large debris like leaves and twigs.
• Reduces evaporation, conserving water and chemicals.
• Cleaner surface between uses lowers routine cleaning effort.
• Compatible with pool types so you keep the same cover if you upgrade pools.

What care and storage does the blanket require to last?

Proper handling extends the cover’s useful life: rinse and let it dry before long-term storage, roll instead of folding to avoid creases, and keep it shaded to reduce UV degradation. The product includes a 5-year limited warranty from Blue Wave for added assurance.

• Rinse off chlorine or debris after use and air-dry fully before storing.
• Roll the cover for storage—avoid tight folds that can cause weak spots.
• Store in shade or protective bag away from direct sunlight and sharp objects.
• Follow manufacturer instructions and retain warranty information.
