No! if you cut the cover in two each of the little bubbles of insulated air will burst! It may be too difficult to do it anyway. All those bubble bottoms will be topless.
Remove the vinyl cover when using a solar blanket to warm the water. If the vinyl cover is used at the same time as the solar blanket, the vinyl cover absorbs most of the heat and then transfers the heat into the air or water between the vinyl cover and the solar blanket. Then the heat transfers to the solar blanket and then, finally, into the water. When this happens, a lot of heat remains in the vinyl cover and air/water between the two covers instead of getting into the water. It is preferable to have the heat absorbed by the solar cover and then transfer directly into the water. Hope this helps... Too much redundancy in pool covers.
his solar powerd blanket
bubbles down
With a solar blanket . They also have solar heaters you can hook up to them.
If this blanket is vinyl as many are then use Aqua Seal or Seal All.
You lay it across the surface of the pool.
Yes.
The side with the bubbles sticking out
isn't it SOLAR? I'm thinking it could be left on until... well, say when the sun goes out.
Yes. Intheswim.com has them.
It's a polyvinyl cover that lays on top of a pool and keeps heat in.
