Product Information
Full details
This vidaXL solar pool cover is designed for pool owners looking to extend their swimming season and reduce maintenance costs. Its primary benefit is its ability to retain heat, potentially raising water temperature by up to 1°C, while also minimizing water evaporation and chemical usage. A key caveat is its limited delivery area, restricted to mainland France only (excluding Corsica and overseas territories). The cover sits directly on the water's surface and is lightweight yet durable, adapting easily to smaller pools.

FAQs
How much can this cover increase the pool's temperature?
The cover can increase the water temperature by up to 1°C, depending on sunlight intensity and ambient conditions.
Can I use this cover on any size pool?
Yes, the cover is 260x160cm and can be trimmed with scissors to fit smaller or irregularly shaped pools.
Does the cover prevent all evaporation?
The cover significantly reduces evaporation by covering the water surface, but it may not eliminate it entirely, especially in very windy conditions.
How often should I clean the pool cover?
It's recommended to rinse the cover with clean water regularly after removing it from the pool to remove debris and prevent buildup.
What is the delivery area for this product?
Delivery is restricted to mainland France only, excluding Corsica and overseas territories.
Is the cover durable?
Yes, the cover is designed to be lightweight yet durable for regular use.
How should I store the cover when not in use?
Allow the cover to dry completely and store it in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and sharp objects.
Troubleshooting
Pool cover is not staying flat on the water.
Ensure the pool water level is adequate. Check for any creases or folds in the cover that might be preventing it from lying flat. If trimmed, ensure the edges are clean and straight.
Water accumulating on the surface of the cover.
This is normal as the cover traps solar heat and condensation. Gently push the cover towards the edge of the pool or use a soft brush to guide excess water off the surface before it pools too heavily.
Cover seems to be losing heat rather than retaining it.
Verify the cover is fully covering the water surface with no gaps. Ensure there are no strong winds disturbing the cover, which can increase heat loss. Check if the ambient temperature is significantly lower than the water temperature, which can lead to natural cooling.
Difficulty in handling or folding the cover.
The cover is lightweight. If you find it difficult, ensure you are unfolding it on a calm day. Fold it loosely for storage rather than creasing it tightly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Ensure your pool water level is at its normal operating level.
- Carefully unfold the cover and lay it flat on the water's surface, ensuring it covers the maximum possible water area within the pool's edges.
- If the cover is larger than your pool, use clean scissors to trim it to fit snugly against the pool walls. This will require careful measurement.
Compatibility:
- This cover is designed to float on the water's surface inside the pool's edges.
- It is suitable for various pool types, including inflatable, frame, and solid-walled pools, provided the water surface is accessible.
- Its dimensions (260x160cm) make it ideal for smaller to medium-sized pools or as a partial cover for larger ones. It can be trimmed for custom fits.
Care:
- Rinse the cover with clean water regularly to remove dirt and debris.
- Allow the cover to dry completely before storing it.
- Store the cover in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sharp objects to prevent damage.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on the cover.
