Will this work with solar cover on pool?

No, the device floats on the top and is propelled by the tubes. The solar cover would inhibit movement.

No the cover must be removed so the polaris can move around the pool freely.

No, it runs from the hole that the water sprays into the pool after circulating through the filter. In my pool it sits below the water level so I don't see why it would interfere with the cover at all.-Mackenize

As long as the pool have a metal frame with the cap that has an overhang on the outside it should work

Since the cover just floats on the top of the water, I don't see any reason it wouldn't work as well on above ground pools. Ours decreased our bill to heat by at least 50%, and stopped evaporation loss.

Wouldn't see why not. Get the rectangular size that is sufficient to cover the entire pool. Lay it out flat over the pool. It will initially likely extend beyond the edges of your pool. Then using a pair of sharp scissors, you can trim it very easily as you follow the contour of your pool's edge. The cover we purchased was somewhat larger than the pool (ours is rectangular), so it was a matter following the outer edge of the pool with the scissors to obtain the perfect fit. Hope that helps.

Not all solar covers are the same. If you have any other questions you can also call 800-950-2210. Thank you. FamilyPoolFun

I will say "I think so." Mine works normally when my solar cover is on, and that floats on the pool surface. As long as the cable is placed over the side of the pool as always, and between the pool and any cover, it should roam around as normal and drag the cord with it. Hope this helps. Phil.

Yes, it should. We use it on our 18 ft pool. It doesn't overlap much, but it does a great job of heating the pool and keeping out crud. We are happy with it!

I have no clue about above ground pools but I would think it should work fine. It is of good quality and heavy enough to stay put. A little tricky to pull off so you would have to figure out a way to do that. We like the pool cover and use it in FL over the winter months. Don't use in the summer.

No..we have always used a solar blanket on our pool..and have never noticed it working any different. Hope this helps. .

Yes I do use a cover it is also a rectangular intex cover that fits snugly down over he sides of the pool. And we just used clear plastic for underneath the pool and spread sand onto the plastic, seemed to work real well for us.

The cover is meant to hold heat in. You can't expect it to effectively heat your pool although with it in place on a sunny day it will add some heat if the circulating pump is activated.

If you're using it as a pool cover as well as a solar cover, it probably won't completely cover the water. But as just a solar cover it would be fine. They run big so that you can tuck them in under the ring to help prevent them from blowing off in a high wind. I always tuck mine in and I have never had it blow off.

We clean the pool before we use the solar cover. I'm not sure what you mean by "trapping dirt". It lays directly on the pool water so if there is a lot of surface debris it will get on the cover.

I do think it would. Like someone else responded, it is designed to go between the wall and the vinyl liner. It is also glued on, which I do not believe would work in an all wet environment. I had a soft side pool in the past and I do not think as thin as this stuff is, even if you could get it to stay in place, that it would add much to the insulation value as stated by Laura in her reply.

I have been using the solar blanket to serve that purpose as well as heat the pool. However, now that temps are much hotter, I do not use the solar cover at all. I would suggest using a regular pool cover if you want to cover the pool while in not use. I have not found it necessary to cover my pool to protect it from debris. The water stays very clean. However, if you have your pool near trees that will drop leaves, etc. into the pool, you may want to use a cover

I would think it would work since there is a little space between the cover and sides. This cover heats the pool very well!

yes, but it is not worth buying unless you are using it to keep out leaves. If it rains everything in the cover will get into your pool. Also the tie down system is not very good. I would not recommend this item at all. It is worthless.
