Designed to be trimmed for a custom fit, the 36 x 18 ft sheet fits many rectangular and large rectangular-style pools, for both inground and above-ground installations. With a balance of durability and flexible performance, it extends swim seasons while cutting water and energy use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this cover warm my pool during the day?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover’s 8 mil thickness and bubble surface capture and concentrate sunlight on the pool surface, converting light into stored heat. Micro-bubbles act like miniature solar panels, increasing absorption and warming the top layer of water more quickly than an uncovered pool. It’s most effective in sunny conditions and when used consistently during daytime hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8 mil bubble construction for efficient solar absorption\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMicro-bubble texture increases surface-area heat intake\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks best on sunny days to accelerate temperature gain\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTrim-to-fit design allows close contact with pool edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it prevent heat loss and evaporation at night?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the blanket forms a thermal barrier that reduces radiative and convective heat loss after sunset, helping to keep water warmer overnight. It also substantially reduces surface evaporation, which conserves both water and dissolved pool chemicals. Stored heat from the day is retained longer, reducing reliance on mechanical heaters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces heat loss by trapping warm surface water heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHelps cut water evaporation by up to 95%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSlows chemical dissipation to reduce maintenance frequency\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with passive heating to lower energy bills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this cover durable and safe for outdoor use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sheet is made from robust polyethylene designed to resist stretching, ripping and UV aging under normal pool conditions. It holds up well to routine sun exposure but should be removed or stored in excessively chlorinated or highly acidic conditions to extend service life.

Light cleaning and drying before storage prolongs lifespan; store rolled or flat in a cool, shaded place when not in use.
