Blue

A solar pool cover is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to warm your pool while reducing operating costs. Designed with thermal bubble technology, our solar covers capture heat from the sun during the day and help retain that warmth overnight — keeping your pool warmer while reducing evaporation, chemical loss, and debris.

Available in multiple thickness levels, you can choose the right balance of performance, durability, and value for your pool.

Features & Benefits:

  • Naturally heats your pool water using solar energy
  • Reduces nighttime heat loss to maintain warmer water
  • Minimizes evaporation, saving water and chemicals
  • Helps extend your swimming season

Best For:

Pool owners looking for a simple, cost-effective way to warm their pool and reduce maintenance.

Space Age™

Space Age™ Solar Covers are designed for pool owners who want stronger heat retention and long-lasting durability. Built with dual-surface technology and a reflective silver underside, these covers enhance thermal efficiency while helping protect the cover from UV degradation.

The result is improved heat retention, better insulation overnight, and premium performance for pools where maintaining temperature matters most.

Features & Benefits:

  • Dual-surface technology improves thermal efficiency
  • Reflective silver underside helps retain heat in the water
  • Enhanced nighttime insulation for better heat retention
  • Improved UV resistance for longer cover life
  • Stronger evaporation protection

Best For:

Pool owners in cooler climates or anyone looking for maximum heat retention and premium durability.

Additional Info

If you're not using a solar cover, you're losing heat and money every single night.

Round pools are a backyard favourite for a reason: compact, space-efficient, and incredibly easy to maintain. The Cover Guy Round Solar Pool Cover is purpose-built to match, available in multiple sizes to ensure a precise fit that maximizes every square foot of solar coverage. Because when it comes to heat retention and evaporation control, fit matters.

The Cover Guy Solar Pool Cover works like a thermal blanket for your pool. Engineered with thermal bubble technology, our solar covers absorb solar energy during the day and transfers that warmth directly into your water. At night, it locks that heat in, dramatically reducing temperature drop and evaporation.

The result?

  • Warmer water without running your heater longer
  • Lower chemical consumption
  • Less water loss
  • Less debris in your pool when it’s not in use
  • A longer, more comfortable swimming season

With five performance options, from standard protection to maximum thermal efficiency, you can choose the cover that aligns with how often you swim, your regional climate, and how aggressively you want to reduce heating costs.

Practical, cost-effective, and built for reliable seasonal performance, The Cover Guy Solar Pool Cover is a smart investment in comfort, efficiency, and extended pool enjoyment.

  • Raises & Maintains Water Temperature. Solar bubbles capture and transfer heat directly into your pool, helping increase and stabilize temperature naturally by up to 10 degrees.
  • Reduces Nighttime Heat Loss. Acts as an insulating barrier to prevent rapid temperature drops after sunset.
  • Minimizes Water Evaporation. Less evaporation means less refilling and reduces water consumption.
  • Lowers Chemical Costs. When water evaporates, chemicals go with it. Reduce evaporation, reduce chemical spend.
  • Keeps Debris Out. Helps prevent leaves and debris from entering your pool when not in use, meaning less skimming and less maintenance.
  • Extend Your Swim Season. Open earlier. Close later. Get more out of your investment.

Benefits of a Solar Cover

Made in USA Quality

Proudly manufactured in the USA to strict quality standards, so the thickness on our label is exactly what you get. Many overseas covers advertise inflated mil ratings.

More Less

Meaning you pay for 16 mil and receive something closer to 12. When it comes to heat retention and durability, where your cover is made matters: buy American and know exactly what's going on your pool.

Reduce Heating Costs

A solar cover dramatically reduces the cost of heating your pool. By retaining heat, the cover reduces the run time and energy cost of the heater by up to 50-70%.

More Less

Passive solar heating can raise pool water temperature by 10-15 degrees, depending on sunlight exposure, climate, and cover type. This means your heater doesn't need to work as hard or run as long.

Reduce Water Evaporation

An uncovered pool can lose 1-2 inches of water per week through evaporation, even more in hot, dry or windy conditions. Solar covers reduce evaporation by up to 95%.

More Less

Significantly lower your water consumption and the costs of continuously refilling our pool. These water savings alone can pay for the cover over the course of a season.

Save on Pool Chemicals

Chlorine and other pool chemicals escape the water in two primary ways: evaporation and UV degradation. A solar over can reduce chemical consumption by 35-60%.

More Less

Our Space Age covers provide additional savings, the reflective silver top layer blocks UV rays before they can reach the water, further slowing chlorine degradation.

UV-Stabilized Construction

Our pool covers are manufactured with UV-stabilizing additives built into the polyethylene material to extend the life of your cover.

More Less

Covers without UV stabilization quickly become brittle, fade, and crack from sun exposure.

Stop Skimming, Start Swimming

The cover keeps leaves, insects and debris out of the water, meaning less filter work, less skimming and vacuuming, and cleaner water overall.

More Less

Keeping the water in your pool cleaner also reduces the load on pool chemicals, further extending their effectiveness.

3 Thicknesses to Choose From

8 Mil

Lightweight, budget-friendly option where ease of handling is a priority.

12 Mil

The best combination of performance, durability, and value.

16 Mil

An upgraded option for pools in frequent use or with a long pool season.

Standard Blue Pool Covers

The classic, most widely used solar blanket. Made of translucent blue material that allows sunlight to pass directly into the pool water below. Ideal for warm, sunny climates where daytime heating is the priority.

How Blue Pool Covers Work

The bubbles in the cover act as lenses that concentrate solar energy and transfer it into the water. The cover also reduces evaporation and acts as a layer of insulation to keep heat in the pool.

Space Age™ Pool Covers

Our Blue/Silver Solar Cover, better known as the patented Space Age™, features a reflective silver underside and blue bubbles on top, inspired by the space-blanket technology used in aerospace thermal insulation.

How Space Age™ Pool Covers Work

Similar to standard blue, the Space Age™ cover allows solar rays to pass through to the water underneath. But, the metallic silver underside acts as a thermal barrier to trap heat inside the pool, reducing heat loss overnight and during cool periods.
