What is the benefit of the clear solar blanket over the blue one?
 Reply

A  Answered on 6/25/2006 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

First, the clear solar blanket is thicker than the blue; the clear is 12 mil thick while the blue is 8 mil. Secondly, the clear allows the sun to pass through the blanket thus heating the water better.  The blue blanket tends to absorb the heat itself so the blanket gets hot, not the water.  Lastly, the clear blanket has a 5 year warranty as opposed to the 3 year warranty for the blue.

Are the edges on the custom solar blankets finished in any way?
 Reply

No, the manufacturer does not finish or heat seal the edges on custom sized solar blankets.

Does the solar cover come with an overlap like a winter cover does?
 Reply

A  Answered on 1/30/2012 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

No, the solar cover does not come with an overlap. A solar cover is designed to sit on top of the water's surface and fits on the inside perimeter of the pool wall.

My pool loses a lot of heat over night. Will a solar blanket help?
 Reply

A  Answered on 9/27/2012 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Yes, a solar blanket will help. You will want to place the solar pool cover on the pool whenever the pool is not in use. During the day, the solar pool cover will help prevent evaporation and it also attracts heat from the sun helping to warm the water without the use of a pool heater. In the evening, the solar pool cover will help prevent heat loss due to lower air temperatures and evaporation.

My pool is a 27 round. I don't see that size offered.

A 27' round blanket is not available. You can purchase the 28' and cut it down to size.

why is the 28 foot round solar cover more than the 30 foot round solar cover?
 Reply

A  Answered on 5/12/2019 by InyoPools Product Specialist Hector F.

Many times it is not about the size or capacity of a product that determines its cost. it may be due to demand of them.

How well does the clear 12 mil. Solar cover work on a reel system?
 Reply

A  Answered on 10/6/2019 by InyoPools Product Specialist Lennox H.

Hi, Thomas. The 12 Mil covers do require a 3"-4" tube based on the cover size.
