Real Relax Solar Pool Cover 16 x 32 ft Rectangle — 12 mil Bubble Blanket, UV‑resistant, Evaporation Reduction

Real Relax 12 mil Solar Pool Cover is a 16 x 32 ft rectangular bubble blanket that captures sunlight to warm water, cut evaporation, and block debris.

Built from durable 12 mil polyethylene, this bubble-style solar blanket is designed to sit on your pool surface with the bubble side down to absorb solar energy and transfer it into the water. Lightweight yet rugged, the sheet can be trimmed to fit irregular shapes and helps reduce maintenance by limiting leaves and dirt. It’s an economical, low-tech way to extend your swimming season and conserve water without changing pool equipment.

How does the Real Relax cover warm my pool?

Placed bubble-side down, the cover’s thousands of small thermal pockets capture and concentrate sunlight, converting it into heat that passes into the water. The material minimizes heat loss overnight by acting as an insulating barrier, so each day’s solar gain is better retained.

• Bubble-pattern thermal pockets increase surface area for heat absorption.
• 12 mil PE construction balances light transmission and durability.
• Reduces nighttime heat loss by insulating the water surface.

Will it really reduce water loss and maintenance?

Yes—covering your pool when it’s not in use cuts evaporation and keeps out debris that would otherwise require skimming and filtration. The cover can reduce evaporation by up to 80% under typical conditions, which means fewer water top-offs and lower chemical use to maintain balance.

• Prevents most leaves, twigs and airborne dirt from entering the pool.
• Limits evaporation, conserving water and reducing refills.
• Helps chemicals remain stable longer by reducing dilution and contamination.

How easy is it to fit the 16 x 32 ft blanket to my pool?

The blanket is supplied oversized for many installations and is simple to trim with household scissors to match curves or nonstandard shapes. For rectangular pools like a 16 x 32, minimal trimming is needed; for irregular shapes, cut a little at a time and test fit as you go.

• Cut-to-fit design enables trimming for kidney or freeform pools.
• Lightweight material is easy for one or two people to maneuver.
• Bubble-side down orientation simplifies correct placement.

How durable is the Real Relax 12 mil material?

Manufactured from 12 mil polyethylene, this blanket offers a balance of flexibility and toughness for season-to-season use. It resists normal wear from sun exposure and pool chemicals better than thinner covers, though standard care—rolling or storing flat when not in use—extends life.

• 12 mil thickness for improved puncture and wear resistance.
• PE construction tolerates routine chemical exposure.
• Customer support available if delivery issues arise.

Who is this for? The Real Relax 16 x 32 ft Solar Pool Cover is best for pool owners who want a cost-effective, low-maintenance way to warm water, reduce evaporation, and keep debris out. It suits backyard rectangular pools, DIY installers who need a trimmable solution, and anyone looking to stretch their swim season without investing in mechanical heaters. It’s also a practical choice for those wanting to lower water and chemical usage while preserving pool comfort.
