Magni Clear Fast Facts - Here are 10 fast facts about investing in the best pool blanket you can buy:

• Blue Wave Magni Clear solar blankets are made of the highest quality 14-gauge material to outlast most other in-ground and above-ground pool blankets on the market.

• Blue Wave Magni Clear solar blankets don’t harm or pollute the environment like a pool heater may do.

• Blue Wave Magni Clear solar covers heat the pool faster thanks to a long-life design based on maximum heating and insulation properties.

• Blue Wave Magni Clear solar blankets are laced with air bubbles that act as an insulating layer, shielding the pool from wind, cloudy intervals, and cool nighttime temperatures.

• A Magni Clear solar cover will leave a pool up to 15° F warmer than an uncovered pool.

• Magni Clear covers are U.V.-protected to hold up under the most intense sunlight.

• Magni Clear blankets are not affected by pool chemicals.

• Blue Wave Magni Clear solar blankets allow heat to fully travel through the blanket, while air bubbles further magnify that heat to reach greater depths of pool water quickly and efficiently.

•  Blue Wave Magni Clear solar covers outperform pool blankets of different colors, such as black and silver, which absorb or reflect heat from the pool water—leaving it cool—and prevent the blanket from properly heating up the pool water.

• Above-Ground Magni Clear solar blankets are backed by a five-year warranty, and In-Ground Magni Clear solar blankets are backed by a six-year warranty.

  
  

Getting Started with Magni Clear

There are four facets for effectively using a solar blanket: proper installation, handling, care, and cleaning and storage.

1) Proper installation
Install the blanket on the pool bubbles-side down. Before trimming, the blanket should be left on the pool for a few days to allow wrinkles and folds to disappear. Use ordinary scissors, being careful not to puncture the lining of the pool. The blanket should fit snug to the pool sidewall. To avoid trimming the blanket too small, the first cut should leave the blanket slightly larger. Make the final trim a few days later. The blanket should not overlap the sidewall, which could result in an opening for wind to get under the blanket.
A properly fitted blanket will be held in place by surface adhesion, requiring no tie-downs during windy periods and heavy rain. Avoid putting the blanket on the lawn for any reason. The sun's rays passing through the bubbles could cause damage to the grass.

2) Proper handling
By using the "fanfold" technique, two people can easily remove a solar blanket from a pool in minutes. Simply pull three or four feet at a time over one end of the pool and continuously fanfold the blanket "accordion fashion" until the entire blanket is stacked on the deck. The blanket can then easily be pulled back onto the pool in seconds.

3) Proper care
Always cover the blanket with its protective sheet when it is not on the pool. The blanket should not be stored in an area where temperatures might reach 120 degrees F. These extreme temperatures can expand the bubbles and cause delamination and blistering, thereby weakening the blanket. Blanket defects can be caused by exposure to the sun or incorrect storage while off the pool. Be advised that such defects won't be covered by a warranty. The blanket should be removed any time the pool is being chemically treated. Never put back a solar blanket onto the pool until safe concentration levels are reached. The level of chlorine should not rise above 3 parts per million. If the level must be raised over this point, the blanket should be removed. Damage caused by excessive chemical exposure is excluded from the warranty.

4) Cleaning and storage
A clean, highly transmissive solar blanket is more efficient than a darker, dirtier one. Cleaning will allow more of the sun's rays to pass through the blanket to heat pool water at all depths. Use a chemically safe solar blanket cleaner with water and a soft brush. To keep the pool cleaner, hose off the dirt and leaves from the floating blanket directly into the pool skimmer. Before storing the blanket, clean it and allow it to dry thoroughly to prevent mildew. Fold it on the seams and roll it from one end. Place the blanket in a clean, dry, rodent-free area where temperatures will not reach 120 degrees F. To prolong the life of a solar blanket, it should be removed from the pool during the winter months and replaced by a winter cover.
