The MidWest Rectangular Blue Solar Pool Cover Blanket is an essential accessory for pool owners aiming to enhance energy efficiency and maintain comfortable swimming temperatures. Crafted from durable resin material with a thickness of 12 mil, this cover features thousands of tiny air pockets that function similarly to a magnifying glass, capturing and retaining heat from the sun. This design not only warms the pool water but also significantly reduces evaporation, conserving water and reducing the need for frequent refills.
The blue color of the cover is specifically chosen for its balance between heat absorption and retention. While clear covers allow maximum sunlight penetration, blue covers effectively absorb heat and retain it, ensuring the pool remains warm even during cooler periods. This balance makes blue solar covers a popular choice among pool owners.
In addition to temperature regulation, the MidWest Solar Pool Cover acts as a barrier against debris such as leaves, insects, and dirt, keeping the pool cleaner and reducing maintenance efforts. The cover's lightweight design makes it easy to install and remove, and when not in use, it can be conveniently stored.
By utilizing this solar pool cover, pool owners can enjoy extended swimming seasons, lower heating costs, and reduced chemical consumption due to decreased evaporation. It's an investment that promotes sustainability while enhancing the overall swimming experience.

1. Wait Before Placing the Cover on the Pool
After adding chemicals or shocking the pool, do not place the solar cover on the water right away. High chlorine levels can degrade the material. Always wait until chlorine levels drop below 2.5 ppm and the pH is above 7.2 before covering the pool.
2. How To Install the Cover Correctly
When placing the solar cover on the pool, make sure the bubble side is facing down against the water. This ensures proper heat retention and prevents damage from exposure.
3. Keep the Cover Clean
Remove any leaves, sticks, or debris before rolling or folding the cover. If the cover gets dirty, rinse it off with clean water and let it dry before storing. This prevents mold, mildew, and wear over time.
4. Store the Cover Properly
When not in use for an extended period, never leave the solar cover exposed to direct sunlight while off the pool. If you need to store it folded, place it in a shaded area or indoors to avoid UV damage.
5. Use a Solar Cover Reel
A solar cover reel makes applying and removing the cover easier while preventing unnecessary stretching and tearing. This extends the life of the cover and keeps it in better condition over time.
