Stearyl Alcohol (octadecanol), isopropyl alcohol, water.
See United States Patent 6943141 for more details:
Exerpt from this patent:
".................mixing the azeotrope of isopropanol and water with up to 5% octadecanol by weight of the total solution, in order to dissolve the normally solid-phase octadecanol and thereby produce a liquid evaporation retardant solution, which, if desired can easily be rendered more storable and transportable than usual at low temperatures merely by adding n-butanol at 10% by weight of the pre-made solution."
Actually there are several methods depending on the manufacturer of the product, the primary ingredient is Isopropanol Alcohol as a carrier with some small amount of active ingredient, the active ingredient can be Octadecanol, Calcium Hydroxide or other proprietary chemicals. The idea was originally derived from a method to keep drinking water from evaporating, see this patent for more information: http://www.Google.com/patents?id=M-4HAAAAEBAJ&dq=U.S.+Pat+6,303,133
These blends vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and the exact nature is often not listed or disclosed as trade secrets.

Unfortunately no, liquid pool covers cannot help with any debris (dirt, bucks, leaves, etc).

Sometimes a net and a good skimmer/filter will do the trick! Good luck!
