Installation Notes
Before installation, ensure the pool surface is clean and free of debris. Spread the solar blanket over the water surface, bubble side down toward water. Cut excess material carefully along coping or rail, and optionally secure edges with water bags or a cover reel. Remove the cover when sunlight is blocked or during debris storms to prevent damage.
Maintenance Tip
Rinse the cover periodically to remove debris and chemicals; store it in shade when not in use. Replace the blanket when you observe significant wear, bubble collapse, or reduced heating performance—typically every 4-7 years depending on use and conditions.
