      Solar panels on a house are one thing, but did you know that you can also get a solar cover for your pool. Solar covers are made to look like bubble wrap and are typically made from polymer or resin. The reason there are the bubbles is because the role of the bubbles is to capture heat from the pool water, which in turn, helps to keep the water warm. Solar Pool Covers are designed to help extend your swimming season while increasing the water temperature, preventing the water from evaporating, and helping to save money on costly pool supplies. Here at The Pool Guy in Mansfield, Ohio, we offer solar covers so that our customers can utilize this tool if they choose to do so.      Solar covers have a few benefits when it comes to pool care and they are:               1. Increasing the water temperature.                    This is the primary benefit of using a ...
