Midwest Canvas Corporation 2-3020-032 Solar Blanket

Product Description

The MIDWEST CANVAS CORPORATION 2-3020-032 is a 12-mil solar blanket designed to retain heat and reduce evaporation in residential swimming pools. At 16 feet by 32 feet, it covers 512 square feet of water surface and works by trapping solar energy during the day to raise pool water temperature passively. The blanket also limits chemical loss caused by surface evaporation, reducing the frequency of chemical adjustment. Weighing 32 pounds, this is a substantial cover suited for standard rectangular pools in that size class. Pool service professionals and homeowners install it at the start of the swim season and remove it before each swim.

This solar blanket is intended for residential in-ground or above-ground rectangular pools measuring 16 by 32 feet. It is commonly deployed in seasonal climates where pool owners want to extend the usable swim season without the cost of a gas or electric heater running continuously. The blanket floats directly on the water surface, bubble side down, allowing sunlight to penetrate and heat the water below while the material itself acts as an insulating barrier. Pool service technicians and property owners in pool maintenance programs are the primary installers.

Installation Notes

Pool service professionals or knowledgeable homeowners typically install this blanket by unrolling it across the pool surface with the bubble side facing down toward the water. No tools or mechanical fasteners are required for basic installation, though a solar reel system is recommended for easier removal and refolding. The blanket should be removed completely before swimmers enter the pool. Local pool codes and manufacturer guidelines should be consulted for proper storage and seasonal removal procedures.
