CLEAR SOLAR BLANKET
PREMIUM CLEAR SOLAR BLANKET HEATS YOUR POOL FASTER THAN BLACK OR SILVER!
Use our new Clear solar blankets to heat your pool faster. Our solar blankets are laced with air bubbles that act as an insulating layer, shielding your swimming pool from cool winds and nighttime cooling (for installation, the blanket goes bubble side down.) In addition, our clear blankets allow more solar heat to reach the depths of your pool and heat it thoroughly. Our blankets are made of extra-thick 14 MIL material so they will outlast most other above-ground blankets on the market. They are backed by a 6-Year Warranty. Invest in the solar blanket that will give you the best heating you can buy — Clear.

What is the difference between the clear and the blue solar blanket?
Reply
First, the clear solar blanket is thicker than the blue; the clear is 14 mil thick while the blue is 12 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 6 year warranty as opposed to the 5 year warranty for the blue.

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

What color are the Magni-Clear solar covers? They appear to be silver in color.
Reply
The Magni-Clear solar blankets are clear in color. They look silver in the photo due to lighting and background effects used to show detail.

Is it necessary to cover the blanket while stored on the reel
Reply
It is not necessary to cover the blanket while stored on the reel. You can if you choose to though to keep from to much sun wearing away at it.

(1 out of 5 stars) Cover was initially very sturdy
Reviewed By: poolcp ()
Cover was initially very sturdy but eventually broke down and deteriorated in less than 1 year. I'm unclear on what caused the quality to decline. I do not recommend this product.

Yhe project is best for warming. I am also trying to cut down evaporation. I have high winds here so I am still thinking about how to secure the cover. Its a work in progress.

Reviewed By: Al Audette from Olympia, WA ()
Pros: Price
Cons: Straps not included
The cover was what I expected and it seems to work just fine, it would have been better if the straps to attach it to the roller would have been included or maybe suggested upon check out by a pop up or something. Other than that, seems to be a fine solar cover.

(5 out of 5 stars) Great cover
Reviewed By: Tim R. from Winchester, VA ()
Pros: Great value for price
Better than any cover I have had yet. Warmed the pool up fast in one week. Blue cover used to take as much as 1 1/2 to 2 weeks in similar conditions.

(5 out of 5 stars) 85 degree water on Memorial Day!
Reviewed By: Robert H. from Beacon, NY ()
Pros: It works perfectly
Cons: Hard to maneuver without a reel
I don't know why I waited five years to get a solar blanket. After only two warm and sunny days my pool water was up to 85 degrees by Memorial Day. Usually we don't see those temps until late July here in NY. This was a great purchase and made our Memorial Day weekend a lot more fun!

(4 out of 5 stars) Warm pool
Reviewed By: Bill F. from San Diego, CA ()
Pros: Well made
Cons: Heavy (because it's well made!)
I bought this blanket to replace an aging blue one. I selected the slightly thicker cover hoping it would be more durable than my old one. When you handle the cover you can tell it is thicker, but that also makes it a little more difficult to fold and store. Since I don't use a cover reel, I cut the cover into multiple pieces and it is manageable now.

Had it for one week-in a particularly cool summer in Oakland, CA, the pool temp actually went up 5 degrees in that week.

(5 out of 5 stars) Best solar blanket to warm pool
Reviewed By: Sully from Alexandria,Indiana ()
Pros: Heats pool better
Cons: none
This cover heats the water even down in the deep end not just the top foot or so. So the water stays warmer even when the weather cools off at night.

Very glad I bought the solar blanket. It does extend swimming season by heating the pool water. It also reduces evaporation.

LOVE this solar pool cover! It works so much better than the blue ones we've had in the past. It's thicker and a much better quality, and it really heats the water up perfectly. Very fast shipping, too! Highly recommend.
