I need a solar cover for my pool. Now that's it's cooling off in the evenings the water is evaporating like crazy. Any recommendations on brand/where to buy? I prefer buying online as it usually saves $$$

I got mine from InTheSwim.com. I also recently bought some stuff from LeisureLiving.com and they carry covers too.

I've had a solar blanket from the beginning with mixed results.
I started with the silverized diamond type first --- It got too hot on the reel (didn't have it covered) and melted to itself. It was replaced by a blue "cheapie" which has now come apart.
I just ordered the clear extruded type from SPP (Chairmans Choice) which has been recommended by others on this site. Several advantages are it will not delaminate, it does not need to be covered when on the reel and supposedly it is more efficient (we'll see).
The blue cheapie has kept my pool above 75 despite 45 degree nights lately. I'm holding out for maybe some more sun to warm the pool with solar so I can get back in but it's not looking good.
One more thing --- the guarantee is for manufacturing defects ONLY-- I checked with about 6 or 8 different supplier and they all said the same thing. So if the bubble tops come off or it gets brittle from heat or chlorine etc. They will say it is not covered (they call it "chemical damage).
