Solar Blanket vs Plastic???

Yes, I suppose it would sink. My blue one is currently disintigrating after 3 years and I am just grasping at straws to save a few bucks on its replacement.

Thanks for your input.

I've had cheap ones and expensive ones. After 3 years even the most expensive with the 10 year warranty falls apart--then I found the warranty only applied to seams de-laminating....which almost never happens. The bubbles start popping by the thousand but that's not covered. And it starts mid-way to the end of the 3rd year. So my newest cover isn't as good, but since in 3 years it will be trash anyway, I spent half as much.

I think its worth a try. I'd love to see how a perfectly clear sheet of plastic over the pool performs.

Hard to believe this hasnt been tried.
