A solar cover, also known as a solar blanket, is a type of pool cover designed to absorb sunlight and warm the water in a swimming pool. Made from durable, lightweight materials, these covers float on the surface of the water and can significantly increase the pool's temperature by trapping heat. They also help reduce evaporation, keeping the water level stable and minimizing the need for additional chemicals. In addition to heating, solar covers help keep debris out of the pool, making maintenance easier. They are available in various sizes to fit different pool shapes and can be easily rolled up for storage when not in use. Using a solar cover can lead to energy savings and a more enjoyable swimming experience.
