Know before you buy
Yes, you can easily trim the polyethylene material with a pair of heavy-duty scissors to achieve a perfect fit for your specific pool dimensions.
By covering the surface, you reduce water evaporation by up to 90%. Since evaporation is the primary way chemicals escape your pool, retaining the water helps keep your chemical levels stable and reduces the need for frequent refills.
The 8 Mil polyethylene is designed to be a balance between lightweight handling and durability. It is UV-resistant to prevent premature cracking and deterioration from sun exposure throughout the swimming season.
The 10-degree increase is a potential maximum under optimal conditions with consistent sunlight. Real-world results will vary based on your local climate, the amount of direct sun exposure, and the ambient air temperature.
Yes, this is a floating cover that sits directly on the water surface. For ease of use, many owners pair it with a solar cover reel, which allows you to roll the cover off and on in just a few minutes.
