Extend your swimming season and reduce heating costs with a Canadian-Made 8 Mil Blue Solar Pool Cover, one of the smartest investments you can make for your pool. Designed to harness the sun’s free energy, this durable solar blanket helps warm your pool water during the day and locks in heat overnight and during cooler, cloudy conditions.

Constructed from high-quality 8 mil resin bubble material, this solar cover features thousands of air-filled bubbles that capture solar heat and transfer it directly into your pool water. The lighter blue colour allows maximum sunlight penetration, increasing water temperature while significantly reducing heat loss. Whether you use a gas heater, heat pump, solar panels, or no heater at all, a solar cover boosts efficiency and lowers operating costs.

In addition to heat retention, solar covers dramatically reduce water evaporation, chemical loss, and debris, keeping your pool cleaner and easier to maintain. Backed by a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty, this solar cover is built for long-term performance in Canadian conditions.

Available for store pickup. Shipping charges apply.

How Solar Covers Work

Solar covers float on the surface of the water with the bubbles facing down. These bubbles:

• Capture solar energy during daylight hours

• Increase light intensity in the pool

• Reduce heat loss at night and during cooler weather

• Act as a thermal barrier against evaporation

Lighter-coloured solar blankets perform best, allowing sunlight to penetrate and warm the water beneath while retaining the heat in the pool.

Key Benefits

• Can reduce pool heating costs by up to 70%

• Reduces water evaporation by up to 95%

• Helps keep dirt and debris out of the pool

• Saves on chemicals and water replacement

• Environmentally friendly and lowers your carbon footprint

• Typical water temperature increase of up to 15°F (8°C)

Alternative Uses & Smart Pooling Options

• Ideal for unheated pools to naturally warm water

• Boosts efficiency for gas heaters, heat pumps, and solar systems

• Can be trimmed to fit custom pool shapes

• For large above-ground pools, pair with Solar Fish liquid solar blankets for easier handling

Solar Fish Option:
A great alternative when removing a large solar cover is difficult. Solar Fish sink and release a slow-release liquid blanket that reduces heat loss for weeks—easy to apply and replace.

Best Practices for Long-Lasting Performance

• Always place bubbles facing down toward the water

• Remove the cover before adding shock or heavy chemicals

• Store the cover out of direct sunlight when not in use

• Use a reel system to prevent dragging or tearing

• Rinse with fresh water before storage
