help UV-Stabilized Vinyl Pool Cover FAQ
Will a UV-stabilized vinyl pool cover heat my pool?
While a solid vinyl pool cover will prevent heat loss overnight by trapping the existing warmth, it is not a solar cover and will not actively heat the water. The UV stabilization specifically protects the vinyl material from degrading, cracking, or becoming brittle under prolonged sun exposure.
How do I keep rainwater from pooling on top of my vinyl pool cover?
Because it is a solid, general-purpose cover, rainwater will collect in the center and create a heavy puddle. To prevent this, you must use a cover pump (either automatic or manual) to siphon off the standing water and keep the cover taut.
How long can I expect a UV-stabilized vinyl pool cover to last?
With proper maintenance—which includes using a cover pump, keeping it clean, and storing it dry during the off-season—a high-quality UV-stabilized vinyl cover can last anywhere from 3 to 7 years. The UV inhibitors significantly extend its lifespan compared to untreated cheap tarps.
Can I use a solid vinyl pool cover on an above-ground pool?
Yes, these covers are versatile workhorses that can be used on both standard residential in-ground and above-ground pools. You will need to secure it tightly using a cable and winch for above-ground pools, or water bags/tubes for in-ground applications.
