11. Should a solar blanket be used?

It is not necessary to use a solar blanket. Because the Aqua Heat LS is so much more efficient than competitive heat pumps it can effectively heat pools that the competition can't. Many pool owners, particularly those with free form pools, effectively heat their pools with Aqua Heat LS without a solar blanket. The regular use of a solar blanket will eliminate evaporative heat loss and can reduce heating costs by as much as 50%.

If you're like most pool owners who don't want to deal with the on & off hassle of solar blankets, a new option is My Blue Dolphin a liquid solar blanket which is simply poured into the pool and can effectively reduce pool heating costs by 15 - 25%.
