Solar Blankets....really worth the trouble ????

Here's what we did:

Works like a charm, easy for one person, goes on and off in under 2 minutes.

Mine is also cut to fit, within an inch of the sides - when it comes to that, it's the best thing I did. There is absolutely NO difference when it comes to evap loss or heat loss.

AnnaK,

Good idea. I've been trying to figure an easy way to get our cover on/off. we just put up fencing on the pool so a reel is somewhat out of the question. I could run it from the deck to other side of the pool. Unfortunately, my deck isn't big enough to hang a 23' pole on. I may try to cut it into manageable pieces.

Somebody had a link to solar rings. Does anybody know/have any experience with them?
