HeatSavr Liquid Pool Blanket are an effortless alternative to conventional solar pool covers, they save energy by trapping heat and reducing evaporation much like a conventional solar cover, but eliminating the hassle of constantly removing and replacing (2024)

FAQs

Does heatsavr work? ›

Studies have shown that Heatsavr™ will cut back overnight heat loss by approximately half. That means, if you are losing 10 degrees of heat in your pool each night you AREN'T using a pool cover, when you start to use Heatsavr™ you should only lose about 5 degrees.

Unlike mesh covers, solar covers work not only to keep debris out but to keep water warm and reduce evaporation (which is the biggest cause of heat loss). All outdoor pools gain heat from the sun. They absorb between 75 to 85 percent of the solar energy that hits the pool.

A solar blanket not only retains heat but also helps heat the water and prevents heat loss. Solar blankets can prevent evaporation by as high as 95%. Aside from preventing loss of heat, solar blankets also will allow you to retain pool water. A pool can lose an average of 2 inches of pool water per week.

A traditional solar blanket or solar cover is a large sheet of plastic, used to maintain water temperature by reducing heat evaporation. Covered in air-filled bubbles (much like bubble wrap), the solar blanket or solar cover sits on the surface of your pool creating a barrier and reducing water evaporation.

Solar pool covers save money by eliminating energy costs that it would take to use a pool heater, retaining pool water and cutting back on chemical loss that also occurs due to evaporation. Solar pool covers save time by making pool maintenance much easier.

This works great at slowing evaporation on hot sunny days and maintaining heat on cooler nights.

Since pools lose up to 70% of their heat through evaporation, using Ecosavr™ can help you keep that heat in your pool - instead of evaporating into thin air! 1 Ecosavr™ will cover a 400 square foot pool (a pool with approximately 15,000 gallons of water) for about a month.

If you leave your solar blanket on your pool for a few days, you could cause a green house effect that will lead to an algae infestation. Invest in a good solar roller or reel or plan on removing your solar cover once a day. . . . .

A liquid solar blanket that protects your swimming pool from water loss due to evaporation and increases the temperature of your water. Is it safe for pets or kids? -yes, it is safe, the liquid cover will not cause harm to your children or pets, but it should never be ingested from the container.

Solar covers are made of a bubble wrap-like material, which traps air and acts as an insulation layer. This then helps keep your water at the desired temperature. But the efficacy of this bubble technology will depend on a couple of things.

Does a black tarp heat a pool? ›

Key Takeaways: Black tarp pool heating is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution. It harnesses the heat-absorbing properties of a black tarp to transfer heat to the pool water.

Water heater insulation could reduce standby heat losses by 25%–45% and save you about 7%–16% in water heating costs—and should pay for itself in about a year. You can find pre-cut jackets or blankets available from around $20.

Yes, liquid solar covers actually work and quite well. While they don't attract the sun's heat to your pool water, they help reduce water evaporation at night to keep the heat in your water.

Leaving the cover on all day under the hot sun can contribute to algae growth if the pool's chemical levels are not properly maintained. Solid pool covers are more durable but can still be damaged by the sun's UV rays.

You should use the pool cover if the rain is mild and doesn't come with severe wind. The cover will protect the pool water from the acidic rain bound to dilute the chlorine.

Yes, liquid solar covers actually work and quite well. While they don't attract the sun's heat to your pool water, they help reduce water evaporation at night to keep the heat in your water.

So, if you can prevent evaporation, then you can significantly reduce the amount of heat loss. As such, covering your pool will help to warm the water up.

Pool flocculant can clear up your cloudy pool water in 1 or 2 days. Though it works faster than pool clarifiers, it will need 8 to 16 hours to clump together the particles before you can vacuum. Add flocculant to your pool with your filter on “recirculate.” Then let the flocculant sit overnight with your pool pump off.

Flexible Solutions has spent a great many years gathering data and information to prove that Ecosavr™ and Heatsavr™ are completely safe for all swimmers. Even if you, your children, or pets drink from the pool water, the liquid pool cover will not harm them.
