How Does a Solar Blanket for a Pool Work?
Solar blankets float right on top of your pool and are made with hundreds of tiny air-filled bubbles.
These bubbles capture heat from the sun during the day and transfer it into the water, gradually raising the temperature. At night, the blanket acts as a thermal barrier, helping to trap the warmth and reduce heat loss caused by cooler air and wind.

How to Measure Your Cover
How do I measure my hot tub for a cover?
To measure your hot tub for a new hot tub cover, start by measuring the length and width of the tub from outer edge to outer edge. For rounded corners, use a carpenter's square to find the radius. Don’t forget to account for skirt length and hinge location to ensure a perfect fit.
What if I don’t know my hot tub’s make and model?
If you don’t know the make and model of your hot tub, use our easy-to-follow measurement guide to take precise dimensions. Alternatively, browse our database for hundreds of popular hot tub models to find the perfect match.
Can I use measurements from my old cover?
We recommend measuring your actual hot tub rather than relying on your old cover. Over time, hot tub covers can shrink or warp, leading to inaccurate dimensions. For the best fit, always measure directly from the tub.
What if my hot tub has unique features like waterfalls or speakers?
No problem! We specialize in custom hot tub covers tailored to unique spa features. Be sure to include these details in your measurements or consult our team for assistance with ensuring the right fit.

Frequently Asked Questions - Solar Blankets
Does a pool solar blanket really work?
Yes, solar blankets are highly effective. They absorb the sun’s heat during the day and help trap it in the water at night. Many pool owners report warmer water and reduced evaporation within days of regular use.
How much will a solar blanket heat up a pool?
A solar blanket can increase your pool’s water temperature by 5°C to 10°C (9°F to 18°F) over several days, depending on sun exposure, air temperature, and blanket thickness. Thicker blankets and sunny climates yield faster and more noticeable results.
Should you leave a solar blanket pool during the day?
Yes, absolutely. Leaving the solar blanket on during the day allows it to absorb and retain the sun’s heat, warming your pool more effectively. Just be sure to remove it before swimming and reapply it after use to maintain consistent heat. It is especially helpful to leave it on during sunny hours when the sun is strongest.
Should a solar blanket be left on all the time?
You can leave it on whenever the pool isn’t in use, especially during the day to collect heat and at night to keep the warmth in.
What is the lifespan of a solar blanket?
A high-quality solar blanket usually lasts 3 to 5 years, depending on the thickness and material of the pool solar blanket. However, its longevity can be increased if it has been properly maintained over the years.
Do solar blankets cause algae?
Not directly. However, if your pool chemistry is not balanced and the water is consistently warm and covered, algae can grow more easily. Regular water testing and circulation will prevent this from happening.
How do I know if my solar blanket is working?
Check your pool temperature over a few days of use. If it is increasing without using a heater, the blanket is doing its job. You’ll also notice less water loss from evaporation.
Do solar blankets need direct sunlight?
They perform best in full sun, but even on cloudy days, they help retain existing heat and reduce evaporation. They are always helping, even when they are not actively heating.
Do the bubbles face up or down on a solar blanket?
The bubbles should always face down, toward the water. This allows them to trap heat and transfer it directly to the pool.
