How does a Solar Heat Pool Cover Work?

The main objective of a solar cover is to capture the heat from the sun and transfer it to your pool water. Keeping the solar cover on your swimming pool during the nighttime hours will also help prevent heat loss and chemical dissipation. Many pool owners use a solar cover in combination with their pool heater. This is important because it lessens the amount of time you need to run your pool heater, which in turn saves you money on utilities, whether it’s your gas or electric bill. Lowering the run time of your pool heater will also extend the heater’s lifespan.
