Whats the Solar Collector color used for? It sounds like it is invisible in the water, is that correct?

I have a small stream that runs across the front of my property, just below my front deck. I can't hear the motor above the ripple of that water. It's virtually silent. I thought I'd prefer a silent motor but have found I miss the sound, can't tell if it's running and have to look occasionally! Really not an issue though. CD

I have had no issues. It did not do what I thought, it was suppose to change color with water temp but it just flshes.

The substrate is black. Tahitian moon is just the shade. The substrate looks a little glittery. I had a shine to it in the fish tank -- it isn't iridescent or pearlescent. It kind of looks like finely ground pieces of Onyx. It is also a very soft substrate.

The object is to keep the reflective surface warm. The reservoir behind the surface when filled with warm water does just that.

Sure, you can leave the solar cover on. It will still add some heat into the water but the better use is that it will keep debris out of the pool. Even if the pool is not used during the winter season.

It is a solar blanket, so it uses bubbles similar to bubble wrap to capture the sun's rays and heat the water. These bubbles allow the the cover to float on top of the water. We have had 70mph winds come through and this cover didn't even lift up at a corner!

I think its just in the color changing style. they are completely clear when you are out of the sun though I have been using these for over a year now in construction

I have been using the solar blanket to serve that purpose as well as heat the pool. However, now that temps are much hotter, I do not use the solar cover at all. I would suggest using a regular pool cover if you want to cover the pool while in not use. I have not found it necessary to cover my pool to protect it from debris. The water stays very clean. However, if you have your pool near trees that will drop leaves, etc. into the pool, you may want to use a cover

I am noy sure, I do not use a solar blanket on my pool. PoolSkim removes surface dirt so the water needs to move fteely for PoolSkim to work. The must be operational and cirulating the water. Hope this helps.

The solar cover we have just rests on the water. It does a good job of helping to warm the water.

If you go to their website it will tell you that the decorative side should be up for heat transfer to the water. This would be the lighter colored side up.

I would guess yes, I think it would heat the water. However, I'm also guessing it wouldn't work as well because of the loss of effiency since the sun is shining through a glass window before it hits the reflectors. Again, I think it would heat the water, it will just take longer. Hope this helps.

Oh I'm sorry I don't know - I just got mine this summer so I'm going to experience the first winter with it - But I kind of doubt it because it's a really small fountain and if there's no sun on the solar panel, there's no water movement.

It is opaque and you can see the water level, yes. When it gets close to empty you have to look more carefully though.

I dont have a sprinkler system. When the solar cells get wet from rain they can get water logged and it seems to effect the connection to the light. Shaking the water out has so far always corrected the issue.

Mine seem to be equally effective in both shaded and sunny areas. The water does evaporate faster if it's in the sun, but you can always add more if it's getting low.
