Blue Wave NS484 Solar Blanket

The blanket uses thousands of tiny insulating air bubbles to trap solar energy from the sun. This heat is then transferred directly into your pool water, which can raise the temperature by up to 15 degrees Fahrenheit.

This specific model is designed exclusively for round above-ground pools. If your pool is oval or rectangular, you will need to select a cover specifically shaped for those dimensions to ensure proper coverage and heat retention.

The 12-mil thickness provides a balance between durability and ease of handling. It is thick enough to effectively insulate the water and resist wear from pool chemicals and UV exposure, but still light enough to remove and replace without significant effort.

Yes, for safety and to prevent damage to the material, you should remove the cover before entering the pool. Using a reel system can make this process much faster and easier.

The Blue Wave NS484 comes with a 5-year warranty, which reflects the expected lifespan under normal conditions. Proper maintenance, such as rinsing off pool chemicals and storing it out of direct sunlight when not in use, will help you get the most longevity out of the material.
