Hi,
I want to buy a solar cover during the end of season sales. I have an
above ground pool and have had a couple solar covers in the past 6
years. The one I bought last time was clear and very thick.
The “bubbles” started to break and I now have little plastic floaters
in the pool.
I am wondering which solar covers have folks had good luck with. I am
interested in it lasting a while but more in the retention and
increasing the heat. I was also wondering if anyone has tried those
new solar “disks” that are like roung rings that float on the surface
of your pool.
Thanks in advance for any info.
