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

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

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.

I have been using the blue cover for years and if the clear is better and thicker and last longer why is it cheaper?

Bruno, The clear solar blanket is thicker than the blue version and also allows the sun to pass through the blanket which helps heat the water better.
