We received this idea from a customer in Ohio during the 2001 pool season. He and others in his area had already been using this system for years. It is a practical way to keep your swimming pool not only totally safe, but also exceptionally clean.
To get the best of both worlds, place a solar blanket (commonly called a bubble cover) on the pool first and let it float. Then attach your mesh cover over it, just like you would normally install any safety mesh or solid pool cover.
The safety mesh cover blocks most light, and the economical bubble cover helps block much of what remains. The mesh safety cover is suspended above the pool, still keeps leaves and smaller debris out, and still provides safety protection for small children and animals. It is a big win for pool owners who want safety and cleaner spring openings.
