Why use a solar pool blanket?

A solar pool blanket (also called a solar cover) sits on the water surface and helps trap heat, reduce water loss from evaporation, and keep your pool cleaner between swims.

  • Warmer water: retain heat and reduce heat loss overnight.
  • Save water: reduce evaporation, especially in windy conditions.
  • Less cleaning: leaves and dust stay on the cover, not in the pool.

Caring for your solar blanket

  • Maximum recommended storage temperature in the shade: 35°C.
  • Don’t drag the blanket over abrasive or sharp surfaces.
  • Don’t leave it on one spot of lawn—it can burn grass quickly.
  • If pool water exceeds 30°C, remove and store in shade (high temps shorten lifespan).
  • Hose leaves/dirt into the skimmer with the pump running; clean with water + soft brush if needed.
  • Roll from one end and store in a shaded/protected area.
  • Be mindful of chlorine dosing. Cyanuric acid and saltwater chlorinators can reduce lifespan.

Solar blanket FAQ

How much can a solar blanket heat a pool? +
In good conditions, solar blankets can help increase water temperature by up to about 8°C. Results vary with sun exposure, wind, usage, and season.
Do solar blankets reduce evaporation? +
Yes. Covering the surface significantly reduces evaporation, which also helps reduce chemical loss.
How long does a 500 micron blanket last? +
Typical lifespan is around 4–5 years with correct storage, cleaning and balanced pool chemistry.
Do you supply roll‑up stations too? +
Yes. A roll‑up station makes it much easier to cover/uncover your pool daily and helps keep the blanket neat when stored.
