This is made of heavier grade plastic that is resistant to ultraviolet radiation. The bubbles absorb and hold the sun's heat to keep the pool water warm. The plastic sheet also reduces evaporation and keeps leaves, insects, and other debris. Solar pool covers can float freely on top of the water, be held down by anchors along pool side or be rolled up on a reel by hand or with a motor.
