I bought and installed the Hayward 140000 btu pool heat pump.
These nights recently are cool, falling as low as 40 degrees.
Do I need a blanket in addition to Natural Chemistry COVER FREE 1 Gallon - 07109 to reduce heat sink?
I'm losing 6 to 8 degrees overnight.
What is the best heat pump setting practice for cool nights?
Suggestions welcome...

Hi, Dave. You do not need to use a solar blanket, in addition, to Cover Free. You can use one or the other. If you're using a solar blanket or Cover Free which will reduce heat loss, operating the unit during your normal schedule will be best.

I can't find the "Natural Chemistry Automatic Dispenser" recommended in the Coverfree application instructions.

Hi. The Natural Chemistry Automatic Dispenser - 86440 is a special order item.

I bought the Cover Free from you back in January. I just started using it again to keep the pool warmer overnight. I have about an 18k-20k gallon pool. I put in just shy of 4 oz per week. I'm in Florida. It's about 68-73 at night. I'm still losing between 3-4 degrees overnight. Is this about typical? Seems to be a bit much for this size pool. Thanks.

Good Evening Mike, This is normal .This is a chemical shield have you had rain recently or added water? This would drop the temp.

You would use about 5-6 ounces every week for a pool size of a little over 26,000 gallons.

is this product safe for a salt water pool?

Hi, The Natural Chemistry Cover Free is 100% safe to use in chlorine tablet and salt water pools. The Cover Free will not only retain heat in the pool as a substitute or a solar blanket, but it also helps prevent water loss from evaporation.

I have a 70 lb. dog that swims every day and drinks her share of water. Is this product safe for consumption by dogs?

Hello David, Here is a link to the Materials Safety Data Sheet associated with Cover Free MSDS. If you have concerns for your pet, I would recommend contacting the manufacturer, Natural Chemistry, on their Support Technical Assistance page or via phone at 1-800-753-1233.

do i need to remove solar cover before adding? how exactly do u use? bottle is confusing-add to pool water or skimmer?
Reply
Shake product vigorously.Weekly with circulation system running, add 4 oz. per 675 sq. ft. of surface area, assuming an average pool depth of 4 feet (20,000 gallons).Note: Skimmer application is preferred, however, COVERfree can be added directly to pool water.Important: Circulation system must be running for either application. You do not need to remove solar blanket when adding this product.

Does the product maintain its potency for years or does it expire (can I buy in bulk and use for years)?

Mimi, As long as the product is stored somewhere cool and dry, it can be stored for at least a year or 2.

How does the Coverfree work in the swimming pool?
Reply
Coverfree creates an invisible barrier that helps retain heat in the swimming pool similar to a solar blanket. Surface tension allows it to remain in place or reform during swimming.

I have a salt pool here in SW Florida. We can use our pool all year round so it's important to stop rapid evaporation in our dry season. It's also important to stop heat loss at night. We do get some cold nights.
I started using Natural Chemistry Cover Free a few years ago. I do not use it during the warm rainy months, no need, so I start putting in the pool around the end of October. I've found it works to stop the "steaming" loss of pool water and heat. You put it in while it's steaming and as it spreads you can watch that steaming stop. Love the product. Note it works better as the weeks progress after the initial weekly application.

Natural Chemistry Cover Free appears to aid in mitigating water evaporation from swimming pools. It won't eliminate it totally but it will slow the process down a bit. The cost of the 1 gallon container from INYO is very reasonable. You'll have to determine for yourself if the added cost to your water bill for re-filling your pool is more than the cost of this product. If so, it's definitely worth it. A capful or two once a week is all it takes. I add it directly to the skimmer basket but it can be spread on the surface of the pool. If your evaporation appears excessive, you may want to do a bucket test to determine if you have a leak. Skimmer areas are a good first place to check.

(5 out of 5 stars) Great liquid solar cover
Reviewed By: Pam C. from Oxford, MI ()
We used this product last summer for the first time and now would not go back to a regular solar cover again. Using this product reduces heat loss as well as water evaporation, which saves on chlorine as well. Without the need for the regular solar cover our pool stayed far cleaner than any previous season. I would highly recommend this product.

(5 out of 5 stars) Stops Water and Heat Loss
Reviewed By: ()
This product stops loss of water due to evaporation. He keeps the temperature of the water up over the cold nights. We got down to the 40's last night here in SW Florida and my pool only dropped about 3 or 4 degrees.

This product is about one quarter the cost of a similar product at my local pool supplier. I just started using it and can not attest for it effectiveness but it appears to be doing the job.

So far so good. It has been really rainy lately so not a huge warm-up yet but it doesn't seem to be losing much heat overnight.

(5 out of 5 stars) I like it
Reviewed By: SACVET from Melbourne Fl. ()
Pros: Easy to use, does not hinder pool use in any way.
Cons: I have not found any cons yet.
I have been using Cover Free for over 3 years. While it is difficult to precisely measure the results I, and 2 other friends, believe it does help with temperature retention and evaporation loss. It is now mid March and using only solar heating my pool is already averaging about 83 degrees.
