How does the Coverfree work in the swimming pool?
 Reply

A  Answered on 11/29/2012 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Coverfree creates an invisible barrier that helps retain heat in the swimming pool similar to a solar blanket. Surface tension allows it to remain in place or reform during swimming.

Is the dosage for cover free based on the volume of water or surface area of the pool?
 Reply

A  Answered on 4/9/2015 by InyoPools Product Specialist Robert M.

Hello Charles - It is based on surface area. Add 4oz per 675 sq ft of surface area.

Pool is no longer used. No longer heated. Interested in saving water. How often should I add Cover Free to the pool. Or do you recommed a blanket?
 Reply

A  Answered on 5/5/2015 by InyoPools Product Specialist Andy O.

Joe- Coverfree will work just as good, if not, better than an actual blanket. To use coverfree you would simply add 4 oz. per 20,000 gallons a week.

 Reply

A  Answered on 6/1/2016 by InyoPools Product Specialist Alan M.

Hi, The Natural Chemistry Cover Free is 100% safe to use in chlorine tablet and salt water pools. The Cover Free will not only retain heat in the pool as a substitute or a solar blanket, but it also helps prevent water loss from evaporation.

I bought the Cover Free from you back in January. I just started using it again to keep the pool warmer overnight. I have about an 18k-20k gallon pool. I put in just shy of 4 oz per week. I'm in Florida. It's about 68-73 at night. I'm still losing between 3-4 degrees overnight. Is this about typical? Seems to be a bit much for this size pool. Thanks.

Good Evening Mike, This is normal .This is a chemical shield have you had rain recently or added water? This would drop the temp.

I bought and installed the Hayward 140000 btu pool heat pump. These nights recently are cool, falling as low as 40 degrees. Do I need a blanket in addition to Natural Chemistry COVER FREE 1 Gallon - 07109 to reduce heat sink? I'm losing 6 to 8 degrees overnight. What is the best heat pump setting practice for cool nights? Suggestions welcome...

A  Answered on 3/5/2018 by InyoPools Product Specialist Lennox H.

Hi, Dave. You do not need to use a solar blanket, in addition, to Cover Free. You can use one or the other. If you're using a solar blanket or Cover Free which will reduce heat loss, operating the unit during your normal schedule will be best.
