How to use

Place the solar mat gently on the pool surface with the textured side facing up to capture sunlight; ensure it lies flat and covers as much surface area as possible.

Regularly check the mat for debris and rinse with fresh water as needed. Follow standard pool care and chemical balance routines while the mat is in use to maintain water quality.

Usage recommendations

Use the solar mat on sunny days for several hours to achieve noticeable temperature gains; combine with a pool cover overnight to retain warmth. Store the mat in a dry, shaded place when not in use and inspect for damage before each season. Avoid using the mat near sharp objects or rough pool liners to prevent punctures.
