Want the best pool cover? We tested blue covers, clear covers, black covers and no cover to see which cover works the best to get your pool warm and keeps your pool warm. I recommend 12-16m covers

Using a percent is not the right way to measure...whichever bucket is warmest is likely to show the most heat loss as a percent. In short the rate of heat loss (transfer) is a function of temperature difference...so if it is 50° out and one bucket is 80° and the other is 60° you'll get more loss out of the 80° bucket especially when expressed as a percent...

the red buckets make this whole test pointless.. unless your liner in your pool is red. Light blue liners are the norm for most pools, but when I got a new one, I bought what they had, a dark blue, and my pool has never been warmer.. Put a red bucket and a blue bucket out and see which gets hotter... An "ideal" test would be light blue buckets with different covers, then the same test with dark blue buckets, maybe even white paper on the outside of the buckets.. I can tell you, the results will surprise you more than you think. The cover performance changes with the pool liner.

I have a pool 26 years have had nothing but problems with the Doheny clear cover. Only last one season. Seams split. Blue for me!

Might be Crazy but can you do a test on a double layer for overnight heat retention? I'd assume 2 layers in the daytime would probably work against itself as to heating the pool 🤔

Would love to see you do another test, starting with 80F water (or about) in all the buckets, then cover them (except control) and leave out overnight on a cool night. That would give us a better idea of which is the best at retaining heat. A final test would be interesting too - start all again with just hose water, and leave them out for several days and nights and see what they average out to over several days. (Measure final temp in the morning of like the 4th day).

The black one.

I was going to say the black, then I realized that the sun is going to heat that up, but not the water more than an inch or so below it. I'm going to watch the rest of the video now to see.🙂
