This 28 x 14 ft blue sheet uses a textured bubble surface to trap warmth and reduce water evaporation while providing a physical barrier against leaves, dust, and other contaminants. Constructed from 16 mil polyethylene, the cover balances strength and flexibility to resist tearing and withstand prolonged sun exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this solar cover raise my pool temperature?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bubble-layer design acts like a floating greenhouse: sunlight passes through the cover, heats the water, and the trapped air within the bubbles reduces heat escaping back into the air. Under suitable conditions, users commonly see noticeable temperature gains compared to an uncovered pool. Results vary with sunlight, ambient temperature, and pool volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e16 mil PE material maximizes heat retention without being too rigid.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBubble film transmits sunlight while trapping warm air at the water surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCan reduce nightly heat loss, keeping water warmer between sunny periods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it significantly reduce water loss and maintenance?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover’s bubble matrix minimizes surface evaporation, which is one of the main ways pools lose water. By preventing up to most of the water vapor escape and blocking debris, the blanket helps lower top-up frequency and reduces time spent skimming and vacuuming. This contributes to lower chemical use and fewer maintenance tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBubble-layer film dramatically cuts evaporation compared with open water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSurface barrier keeps leaves and dirt off the water for less cleaning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmoother chemistry management due to reduced water and chemical loss.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the VEVOR cover durable and suitable for long-term outdoor use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMade from robust 16 mil polyethylene, the blanket resists tearing and holds up to repeated handling and sun exposure. Its thicker construction improves tensile strength and reduces the chance of warping or rapid degradation. While durable, routine care—like removing heavy debris and avoiding sharp objects—extends service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e16 mil thickness for improved tear and tensile resistance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUV-stable resin reduces rapid fading under strong sun.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCan be trimmed for a custom fit without compromising structural performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I fit this cover to my rectangular pool and maintain it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe blanket ships oversized for many rectangular pools and can be cut to match your pool’s exact dimensions; edges can be trimmed but keep cuts smooth to avoid snags. For best results, spread the cover bubble-side down on calm water and use a reel or straps for easy removal. Periodically rinse and store flat or loosely rolled out of direct sun for prolonged life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTrim-to-fit design adapts to a wide range of pool shapes and sizes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlace bubbles down to enhance heat transfer and protect film surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse a cover reel and store away from direct heat when not in season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for: Homeowners or facility managers with a rectangular inground or aboveground pool who want a cost-effective way to raise water temperature, cut evaporation and reduce routine cleaning.
