Collection: Pool Solar Covers

Shop pool solar covers designed to retain heat, reduce evaporation, and keep debris out. Perfect for inground and above-ground pools, these covers help warm your water naturally and lower energy costs.

Pool solar covers help retain heat, reduce evaporation, and keep debris out of your water.

These covers float on the surface of your pool and use sunlight to naturally warm the water, cutting down on heating costs and chemical loss.

This collection includes solar covers for both inground and above-ground pools in a range of shapes and sizes. Whether you're trying to warm your pool faster or prevent leaves from getting in, solar covers are an affordable and effective solution.

How Do They Work?

Solar covers work by harnessing the sun’s energy to passively heat your pool. The bubble-style material traps solar heat and transfers it into the water while acting as a thermal blanket to prevent warmth from escaping overnight.

This natural heating method is especially effective in sunny climates or during shoulder seasons when pool heaters may not be running constantly.In addition to heating, solar covers play a big role in water conservation.

By significantly reducing evaporation, they help retain water levels and decrease the amount of chemicals needed to maintain proper balance. This not only cuts down on maintenance time and costs but also makes your pool more environmentally friendly.

FAQs

A solar pool cover traps heat from the sun to warm your water and reduces evaporation, helping conserve both energy and water. It also acts as a barrier against debris like leaves and insects.

Yes. Solar covers can raise the water temperature by 5 to 10 degrees when used consistently, especially during sunny days. They help retain heat overnight and reduce heating costs when used with a pool heater.

Absolutely. There are solar covers made specifically for above-ground pools. Make sure to measure your pool and choose a cover that matches your size and shape.

Yes. For safety reasons, the cover should always be removed before entering the pool. It can be easily rolled or folded and stored nearby when not in use.

Most solar covers last 2 to 5 seasons depending on sun exposure, chemical use, and storage habits. Proper care can help extend the life of the material.

Yes. By minimizing evaporation, solar covers help retain chlorine and other chemicals, which means you'll use less over time and maintain more stable water chemistry.

Measure the longest length and widest width of your pool. If needed, you can trim the cover to fit with scissors. Most covers are designed to be slightly oversized for a custom fit.

You can leave it on when the pool is not in use, especially overnight or during cooler parts of the day. Be sure to remove it during swimming and heavy rain or wind to prevent damage.

Thicker covers (like 16 mil) tend to last longer and offer better heat retention, while thinner covers (8 or 12 mil) are easier to handle and may heat water more quickly during the day.
