Hello,
My understanding of a solar cover is that it heats the pool by slowing evaporation of the water.
Obviously, night is a perfect time for this.
But I have also read that solar covers actually block some of the sun, and prevent heating.
So on a typically, 80 degree, sunny day, is more heat gained by removing the cover, or by leaving it on?
Always wondered this.
