Quick overview
- Adds real heat The source rates these covers as warming a pool by up to 15 degrees F over the season.
- Eight mil thermal bubbles The bubbles hold heat in overnight and on cool, cloudy days rather than letting it go back to the air.
- Blue and silver Spaceage The Spaceage color is chosen to let the maximum amount of solar energy reach the water.
- UV protected The material is UV protected so it survives intense sunlight instead of shredding after one season.
- Rectangular 12 by 24 Cut as a 12 ft by 24 ft rectangle and easily trimmed to a pool that is close but not exact.
- Five year warranty Backed by a 5 year warranty, which is the long end for a solar blanket.

Product details
This is the Midwest Canvas Spaceage solar cover in blue and silver, cut as a 12 ft by 24 ft rectangle in 8 mil thickness. It carries a 5 year warranty.
How a solar cover earns its keep
Most of the heat a pool loses goes off the surface overnight. The thermal bubbles in this cover sit against the water and hold that heat in, on cool cloudy days as well as after dark. The Spaceage blue and silver color is chosen to let the maximum amount of solar energy through to the water rather than absorbing it in the cover, and the manufacturer rates the gain at up to 15 degrees F.
Built to last a few seasons
At 8 mil this is a heavier blanket than the thin covers that come apart after a summer, and the material is UV protected so intense sun does not break it down. That is what the 5 year warranty is built on.
Fitting and use
Float it bubbles down. If your pool is close to 12 by 24 but not exact, the blanket can be trimmed to shape with scissors. Cut it slightly large and take material off in stages rather than all at once.
