Solar pool covers are a great option for capturing the sun's energy and reducing your energy bill at the same time.They are used just like any other pool cover. They can be a little heavier than the old fashioned covers, depending on what you're used to, but for the most part they are just as easy to take on and off.
The cover saves energy in two ways. They absorb the sun's energy and transfer it to the water, which means your pool heater has to do less work. They also insulate the heat that is already in the water from dissipating into the air.
A solar pool cover will prevent 95% of evaporation from occurring during hot day saving on your water usage.
The cover, usually very affordbale pay for themselves in a few months or one season of use with energy and water savings.

Hi, Yes pool covers really do work.  They will warm the water a bit and help to keep your pool clean.  I've had a pool for the last five years and am glad for the cover.

I've had great luck with mine and I live in Michigan, which I think is the exact kind of climate where you can really benefit from one.  I got mine at this pool cover site.

Yes they do work. It isn't that they heat the water as much during the day as they help the water to retain heat during the night. It is easier to heat up a warmer pool than a cool pool. A friend of mine heats his hot tub this way.
