For the large rectangular pools of 9.56 by 4.88 metres, Didak Pool makes this size of its Solar Pool Cover. The icon on the packaging says so in as many words: 'fit rectangular pool', 9.56 x 4.88 m.
The cover is the blue insulating bubble film Didak uses for its solar covers: film with small air pockets that, according to the manufacturer, catch the sun's heat and pass it on to the water underneath. The box carries that as a drawing, with a sun and arrows through the water surface, and as the English product name 'floating solar pool cover'.
The size of the cover is given on the packaging as 890 by 430 cm — smaller than the pool, as it should be for a solar cover, so that it keeps lying loose on the water surface and does not press against the walls. Roll it out when nobody is swimming, roll it up again before going in; nothing needs fastening.
At this surface area the cover is a substantial sheet of film: count on rolling it out faster with two people than on your own. And mind what you are ordering: the pool in the photo is scenery, what you buy here is the cover only.
