does it matter if the bubble side is face down in water or facing up?

bubble part should be down toward water because 1) smooth surface on top prevents dirt/leaves get stuck between bubbles; 2) bubbles touching water keeps the heat in the water.

In believe smooth side up will create less surface contact with the surface of the water, that will increase the insulating capability of the cover.

there wasn't any instructions in the box so I just put it on and left it for 3 days with no heating in the pool. I had to cut a lot off inorder to fit into my pool which is 12 by 24 which I thought the company would have cut it to the specification.

had no problem with bubbles. Lined up one side on the long side of the phone and let it drop. After that I took a credit card and ran along the entire surface.

Yes, the lid is plastic so if it is on its side or upside down, the water will come in contact with plastic.

If it is flopping on its side, then there is too much buoyancy. May need to take one of the floats off of the hose

The best advice is to try both. I've always had better results facing back. You save a lot of space by facing it up. Either way the box has been great for us.

I tried it both ways. It seemed to look better with the design facing up. Also, some beds may be longer than others which may determine what looks best.

You can use both sides. Only one side has a groove, which will catch juices.

Absolutely DOWN.. That is what traps the heat. Also, when rolling up or storing be sure bubbles are down or inside. If exposed to sun or elements too long, they will wear and break thus ruining the cover.

No. It hangs down straight. My tub, and I believe most tubs these day are vinyl, so it would not matter.

There seems to be less spillage with the angled opening in my experience. The angled opening catches more.

If you are looking at an upward of downward angle, it does change a very little bit. Not from side to side though.

I tried it both ways. It works better for me with the egg crate face down toward the mattress. I have been very happy with it.

the bubbles go up. the only problem I had was when you run the pump (I have a round pool) the top moves also, we had to remove the ladder to use this cover.

I haven't needed to. I put the sensor in the water and don't worry about if it touches the side or bottom. Works just fine.

The solid silver part (flat side) should be on top and the bubbles should face down.

Hello, if you are putting the bubble level on the same base you are mounting the pano head too the answer is yes. Is it not working that way?

Yes it is but because it is a barrier water won't drain through as fast as it would if it weren't there. I don't know about both directions as I've only ever put it down in one and I've not had a case of water bubbling up anywhere to know.
