What is a liquid blanket?
To put it simply, a liquid solar pool cover (or blanket) is an evaporation suppressant. The liquid solar blanket is often compared to putting a lid on a boiling pot of water. It creates an invisible barrier on the surface of the water and helps to control the rate at which the vapour escapes from the pool.
