Solar blankets

[cbowman78]

What is the longest you can leave your solar blanket on before it effects the water?

My pool company that I purchased the solar blanket from told me to leave it on for no more than two days max at a time.

Is this correct?

A lot of people leave their blankets on when they go on vacations with no problems. I think if the water is balanced with plenty of chlorine its fine.

eventually you will have problems if the water is never allowed to "breathe". whether anyone has figured out how long that is, I'm not sure. certainly more than 2 days though.

The most I've done is 11 days, no problems whatsoever.

the last post here gets a little more specific on what happens, but no more time info than "extended periods".
