thoughts on solar pool cover types

[fire29]

Looking at getting a solar cover. Im debating between a single sheet the size of the pool, and "squares". To me the squares would be easier to remove/put back, as for time being Im not getting a roller rack if I got a single cover. Figure I can stack the squares on a spot on the deck and then put back when done, vs manhandling a larger cover. Spouse was concerned about stuff still falling in between gaps, but thats not really what I want it for, mainly for water management/temps. It catching anything falling in is just a bonus.

Thoughts, pros/cons? TIA!

Thanks but that really doesnt answer my question on the types of, just the color and science behind them.

People cut large covers into smaller pieces that are more manageable all the time. I think you would want strips across at the very least instead of a checkerboard of squares. You wouldn't be able to adjust the middle squares very well when the wind blew them around.
