Pool Solar Blanket
Benefits of Using a Pool Solar Blanket

A pool solar blanket saves you energy and money. It decreases your power bill, and elevates the pool temperature without electricity or propane. It also allows you to extend your swimming season. You can open your pool earlier in the spring and close it later in the winter - and have more fun with your pool because it's in a comfortable temperature range longer.

How a Solar Blanket Works

Having a plastic blanket cover your pool keeps the water warmer in these ways: It stops evaporation loss. Without a solar blanket, water in your pool evaporates into the air, taking heat away along with the water vapor.

It stops convection heat loss. The pool's solar blanket also stops heat loss that normally occurs from the surface of your pool due to gentle air currents and/or strong winds.

It reduces radiating heat loss. The air bubbles in the solar blanket act as insulation and reduce radiative heat loss - just like a nice wool blanket reduces a person's heat loss when they sleep at night.

Pool blankets come in several thicknesses and are generally filled with air bubbles similar to bubble wrap. The material in the solar blanket transmits much of the sun's energy to the water below it. Thus, it allows the pool to heat up over time, but doesn't allow much of that heat to escape into the air.

Solar Blankets

Solar blankets allow you to use the sun's energy to keep your pool warm.  Made of plastic with a layer of air-filled bubbles inside, their optical properties allow light and energy from the sun too flow through to the pool's water. Solar blankets also cut down on heat loss the pool to the outside environment because they offer protection from the wind, and the "blanket effect" cuts reduces evaporative heat loss by 95%.

Benefits

Cost Savings: Solar blankets are kind to your budget. After the initial investment, they provide continuing thermal protection.

Eco-Friendly: A solar blanket help heat your pool without electricity.  And in some cases, can decrease  the amount of chemical necessary, since less evaporative heat loss translates to a lower chemical cost. (You don't have to add as much fresh, untreated water to your pool, since you aren't losing as much through evaporation).
