Under optimal conditions with direct sunshine, the film can raise your pool water temperature by up to 1°C. The actual temperature increase depends on factors like ambient temperature, duration of sunlight, and pool size.
No, this film is not a safety cover and does not prevent drowning. It is primarily for solar heating and reducing evaporation. It should not be used as a substitute for a safety pool cover.
You can easily cut the film using standard household scissors. Measure your pool's dimensions and mark the film accordingly before cutting for a precise fit.
The film is made of thick PE (polyethylene) material with air chambers, designed for durability and heat retention.
By forming a barrier on the water's surface, the film significantly reduces water evaporation. Since chemicals are lost with evaporating water, reducing evaporation helps retain chemicals in the pool.
While it can be used, its effectiveness in heating is significantly reduced without direct sunlight. It can still help reduce evaporation.
Minor tears can potentially be patched with waterproof tape suitable for pools, but significant tears may reduce its effectiveness. For best results, try to avoid damage during handling.
Ensure the film is laid flat on the water surface and that there are no significant gaps. Check that the pool is receiving direct, unobstructed sunlight for several hours. The ambient temperature and initial water temperature also play a role.
The film is designed to be lightweight. If it feels heavy or cumbersome, ensure it is fully dry before handling. Unroll it slowly and carefully.
Verify that the film is properly covering the entire water surface without major tears or gaps. Ensure it is not being blown away by strong winds.
Regularly remove leaves, insects, and other debris by gently scooping them off. Use a soft brush or cloth for cleaning. Consider using a pool cover reel for easier removal and storage.
Setup: Unroll the pool film and carefully lay it directly on the surface of the water, ensuring it covers the entire water area within the pool's edges. If necessary, use scissors to trim the film to fit your specific pool dimensions. Ensure the PE bubbles are facing upwards to maximize heat absorption and retention. For best results, deploy the film before the sun rises or as soon as direct sunlight is expected.
Compatibility: This film is designed for most types of swimming pools, including above-ground and in-ground pools. It is compatible with various pool shapes. It is crucial to ensure the film does not interfere with skimmers or pool filters when in place.
Care: Regularly remove debris such as leaves or insects from the surface of the film. To clean the film, gently rinse it with water or wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the PE material. When not in use, allow the film to dry completely before folding it for storage. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation. Warning: This product is not a safety cover and does not prevent drowning. Children must be constantly supervised when using or being near the pool.
