How Swimming Pool Solar Blankets Covers Work

A Swimming pool solar blanket is a simple way to keep the heat in your swimming pool water.

Lay the blanket out with the bubble side on the water; the smooth side up.   Allow the blanket to expand and then you can trim to size of your pool with a pair of scissors.  If you have a solar blanket reel, you can simply roll the cover up when not in use.

When you place the solar tarp on the water, the sun passes through the blanket and heats the water.  The air bubbles of the solar blanket act as a insulator and trap the heated pool water from escaping.

The solar blanket helps prevent water evaporation which can save you money on chemicals and the amount of time you run your swimming pool heater.

Our swimming pool solar blankets come in two different styles and we offer them in many sizes for above ground and inground swimming pools.

The standard blue solar blanket is our most economical cover.  The clear solar blankets allow more sunlight to pass through the to water and are slightly thicker  than the blue.

It is recommended to leave the solar blanket on the pool when the pool is not in use, on cloudy days, and windy areas.

What is the best swimming pool cleaner?

The best automatic swimming pool cleaner depends on your pool and budget. First, let us explain the three major types of pool cleaners.

Suction Side pool cleaners are usually the most economical. You simply plug them into your skimmer or cleaner line with a vacuum hose. Your swimming pool pump powers the cleaner and all the dirt, leaves, and debris that the cleaner picks up is trapped in your pool filter. Most of the suction side vacuums are simple devices and have few moving parts. This type of auto pool cleaner is good for cleaning the pool floor bottom. For above ground swimming pools, the Dirt Devil Swimming Pool Cleaner can be found on our site at a discount price. We also have other above ground swimming pool vacuums. For inground swimming pool cleaners, some of the more common pool vacs are the Barracuda G3, Barracuda G4, and the Dirt Devil Whisper Vac Pool Vacuums.

Robotic Swimming Pool Cleaners are popular because they are powerful and can typically clean the swimming pool walls. This type of pool cleaner uses an electrical cord; it does not run off your swimming pool pump and filter system. Popular brands are Aquabot, Dolphin, and SmartPool. For robotic above ground pool cleaners, we offer the Robo Kleen , Aquabot Pool Rover Jr, and the Aquabot Pool Rover . We also carry robotic pool cleaners for inground pool. We have several models from Aquabot and Dolphin .

Pressure Side Cleaners run off the pool return. Most of these cleaners require a booster pump. The Mars swimming pool cleaner is an economical pool cleaner.

Since there are so many pool cleaners on the market today, you will be able to find a swimming pool vac that matches your pool and budget. Please visit our website for more detailed information, videos, and pool cleaner installation manuals.
