Are Solar Pool Covers Worth It?

Solar pool covers, also known as solar blankets, use the sun’s energy to keep swimming pools warm. They work by trapping the sun’s heat and preventing heat loss and evaporation of pool water. Studies have shown that solar pool covers can reduce heat loss and evaporation by as much as 95% and can heat water by an average of at least 10 degrees. They are most effective when they cover the entire pool and are exposed to direct sunlight. Despite the hassle of handling and maintenance, solar pool covers are a worthwhile investment for pool owners who want to swim in warm water without the expense of a heated pool.
