HPI Solar Blankets: Extend Your Swim Season

Keep your pool warmer, longer. HPI 3-Year Solar Blankets act as a powerful, passive heating system for your above-ground pool. By creating a thermal barrier between the water surface and the air, these blankets significantly reduce heat loss through evaporation—the primary cause of cooling in outdoor pools. These covers are designed to trap the sun’s UV rays, effectively warming your pool water by up to 10°F (5°C) to 15°F (8°C) over the course of a season.

Beyond heating, these covers offer excellent protection against contaminants. By keeping leaves, dirt, and debris out of your water, they help maintain water balance, reduce your daily sanitizer demand, and save you valuable time on manual cleaning.

Key Features & Innovations

• Evaporation Control: Acts as a liquid insulator, preventing heat loss caused by overnight evaporation and cooling breezes.

• Passive Solar Heating: The specialized translucent material allows UV rays to penetrate and heat the water beneath, acting as a solar thermal collector.

• Chemical Savings: By reducing evaporation, you lose fewer water-treatment chemicals, saving money on daily maintenance costs.

• Debris Protection: Keeps your pool cleaner for longer by physically blocking leaves, bugs, and wind-blown dust from entering the water.

Shipping & Handling Notes

• Material: High-grade polyethylene bubble-cell technology.

• Storage Recommendation: To maximize the lifespan of your blanket, always cover it with a protective white solar cover sheet when stored on a reel in direct sunlight.

• Custom Fitting: If your pool is a non-standard shape, these blankets can be easily trimmed with heavy-duty household scissors to fit your specific dimensions perfectly.
