The easy passage of light allowed by the translucent material is best for heating. Short wave length solar energy passes easily through the blanket (generating heat like a magnifying glass), this heat is retained by the insulating qualities of the air pockets (similar to double glazing). Darker material tends to impede the flow of light; silver backed material tends to reflect the light like a mirror.
The Daisy Solar Pool Blanket material is an excellent thermal conductor (transfers the solar heating quickly to the water). Meaning the blanket heats up and cools down quickly not wasting any solar energy on heating itself up or staying warm. The blanket is an excellent insulator, because the layer of air that sits between the blanket and water, and the air in the bubbles themselves. This air creates a buffer between the blanket and the water that greatly reduces the heat flow out. The blanket also reduces evaporation by 97%. Evaporation is the loss of warm moist air into the atmosphere.
Put simply, a Daisy Solar Pool Blanket transfers solar heat quickly into the water without wasting energy on heating itself up or staying warm, and the heating gains made during the day are not lost overnight because of the blankets insulation properties.
Daisy's advanced manufacturing techniques combine the composite strength of polyethylene with maximum antioxidants and UV inhibitors and the perfect UltraDome bubble shape.
Daisy UltraDome blankets are engineered to last longer.
Daisy ThermoTech Solar Pool Blanket comes with a Pro- rata warranty.
