Blue Wave Products Magni-Clear Solar Cover

While results vary based on your local climate and sun exposure, the clear material is designed to maximize solar gain. You can typically expect an increase of 5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit compared to an uncovered pool, provided it receives adequate direct sunlight.

Yes, the Magni-Clear cover is versatile enough to be used on both in-ground and above-ground rectangular pools. Because it is a universal material, you may need to trim it with heavy-duty scissors to achieve a precise fit for your specific pool dimensions.

The 14-mil thickness is significantly more durable than the standard 8-mil or 10-mil covers found on the market. This extra gauge helps the blanket resist tearing and degradation from UV rays, which is why it comes with a longer 6-year warranty.

Yes, by significantly reducing evaporation, the cover keeps your pool chemicals concentrated in the water rather than letting them dissipate into the air. This helps you maintain balanced water chemistry with less frequent chemical additions.

Because of its size, we recommend using a solar cover reel to easily roll and unroll the blanket. If you don't have a reel, you can fold it accordion-style, but be sure to store it in a shaded area away from direct sunlight when it's off the pool to prevent the material from overheating and breaking down.

While it is primarily designed for heat retention and evaporation control, it acts as a physical barrier that will catch leaves, twigs, and bugs. However, keep in mind that when you remove the cover, any debris sitting on top may fall into the water, so it is helpful to clean the surface before rolling it up.
