Debate!! Fact or Myth

[maryj0w]

If you have a solar cover on your pool, the sun will not eat as much chlorine as if your pool was uncovered?

Having this debate, and I know you have the answer!

 

[ROB N]

Correct!

Solar cover saves significantly on chlorine.

Depends on the cover. Clear covers will not prevent as much UV extinction loss as a colored or opaque cover.

Yes....but even a clear cover will prevent loss compared to no cover.

Big savings on chlorine with a solar cover!

I use a clear cover and can't tell any difference in FC loss whether it's on or off. Absolutely no difference. It does make a big difference in heat retention.
