Solar Blanket & Skimmer

[thomearl]

Just ordered a solar blanket for the pool and spa for this season. Probably should've asked before I bought but how does the blanket work with the pool skimmer? Does it interfere or is skimming not even needed since pool is covered? I got it to keep the pool warmer only and reduce water loss, but just thought I'd ask about skimming.

The skimmer will still pull in water, but not off the surface since the cover is there.
