Blue Wave Solar Blanket Pool Cover

Under optimal conditions with direct sunlight, this solar blanket can increase your pool's water temperature by up to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep in mind that actual results depend on your local climate, the amount of daily sun exposure, and whether you use the cover consistently when the pool is not in use.

This cover is specifically engineered for 24-foot round above-ground pools. If your pool is a different size or shape, this cover will not provide the proper coverage needed to effectively trap heat and prevent evaporation, so it is best to stick to the exact dimensions of your pool.

Yes, while its primary function is solar heating, the cover acts as a physical barrier that prevents leaves, dirt, and insects from falling into your pool. It is not a safety cover, however, and should not be used to support weight.

The 12-mil thickness provides a robust balance between durability and manageability. It is UV-protected and chemical-resistant, designed to withstand the harsh environment of a chlorinated pool for several seasons, and comes with a 5-year warranty to back that longevity.

At 12 mils thick, the cover is sturdy but lightweight enough to be folded or rolled by one person. For a 24-foot pool, many owners find that using a solar cover reel makes the process significantly easier and helps extend the life of the material by preventing unnecessary wear and tear.

It is recommended to remove the cover for a few hours after adding shock or high concentrations of chemicals to your pool. This allows the chemicals to disperse properly and prevents the concentrated fumes from potentially degrading the underside of the blanket.
