Maximize heat retention and extend your swimming season with a Canadian-Made Rectangular Inground Pool Solar Cover, designed specifically for inground pools with straight walls and clean edges. Made from high-quality 8 mil blue bubble material, this solar cover captures the sun’s free energy to warm your pool during the day and retain heat overnight and during cooler weather.

Thousands of air-filled bubbles act as a thermal blanket, transferring solar heat directly into the water while dramatically reducing heat loss and evaporation. The light blue colour allows optimal sunlight penetration, helping raise water temperature naturally—often by up to 15°F (8°C)—while improving overall heating efficiency for pools with gas heaters, heat pumps, or solar systems.

In addition to heating benefits, rectangular solar covers help keep your pool cleaner by blocking debris and reducing chemical loss caused by evaporation. Built for Canadian conditions and backed by a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty, this solar cover is a smart, cost-effective investment for any inground pool owner.

Available for store pickup. Shipping charges apply.

How Rectangular Solar Covers Work

Rectangular solar covers float on the pool surface with the bubbles facing down. The bubble design:

• Captures solar energy during daylight hours

• Transfers heat directly into the pool water

• Acts as insulation at night and on cloudy days

• Significantly reduces evaporation and heat loss

The lighter blue colour allows sunlight to pass through efficiently while trapping warmth in the water below.

Key Benefits for Inground Pools

• Can reduce pool heating costs by up to 70%

• Reduces evaporation by up to 95%

• Helps maintain consistent water temperature

• Keeps leaves and debris out of the pool

• Reduces chemical usage and water replacement

• Environmentally friendly and energy-efficient

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

Alternative Uses & Smart Pool Options

• Ideal for unheated inground pools seeking natural warmth

• Boosts efficiency of gas heaters, heat pumps, and solar panels

• Can be trimmed slightly for a custom fit

• Pairs well with solar reels for easy removal and storage

Optional Solar Fish Alternative:
For large inground pools where handling a solar cover daily is difficult, Solar Fish liquid solar blankets offer supplemental heat retention and evaporation control.

Best Practices for Long-Term Performance

• Always place bubbles down toward the water

• Remove cover before shocking or adding concentrated chemicals

• Use a solar reel system to prevent tearing

• Store folded or rolled out of direct sunlight

• Rinse with fresh water before long-term storage

• Use grommets to leave the water in the pool when taking the cover off.
