Midwest 8164013 Solar Cover Rectangle 16x40 Blue Black

Product Description

The MIDWEST 8164013 is a rectangular solar cover designed for in-ground swimming pools measuring 16 by 40 feet. This cover uses solar energy to retain pool heat, slow water evaporation, and reduce chemical loss between service visits. The blue and black color scheme is standard for solar blankets, with the blue side facing up to absorb heat and the darker underside retaining warmth in the water. Pool service professionals and homeowners use this cover as a cost-effective tool for extending the swim season and reducing heating costs. It carries a 4-year warranty from the manufacturer.

This solar cover fits rectangular pools in the 16 by 40 foot dimension range, a common size for residential in-ground installations. It is suited for outdoor residential pools where passive solar heating is the primary goal. The cover is deployed at the end of each swim day and removed before pool use. Installers and pool service technicians typically fit it to pools during seasonal openings or as a replacement for a worn or damaged solar blanket.

Installation Notes

Solar covers are installed and removed by pool service professionals or pool owners without special tools. The cover should be placed bubble-side down against the water surface to maximize heat transfer. Store the cover on a reel or in a shaded area when not in use to prevent UV degradation. Do not operate pool equipment such as cleaners or returns in a way that drags or tears the cover while it is deployed.
