Transcript of All About Liquid Pool Covers
Liquid Solar Pool Covers By Flexible Solutions
Evaporation is the major source of heat loss for all swimming pools. To minimize energy/heat loss one must cover the pool
Covering the pool is the single most effective means of reducing energy/heat loss
Why use a Pool Cover?
Ease of use and installation
Inexpensive – Low capital costs and maintenance
Works 24 / 7, even when pool is in use
Safety Allows pool to be viewed to the bottom
Avoid entrapment
Commercial liability
Why use a Liquid Pool Cover?
Benefit Comparison
Plastic Pool Blanket HeatsavrTM and EcosavrTM
Application
Time consuming, potentially complicated and can
require more than one person. Automatic, hands-free easy application that
requires absolutely little storage and no labor to
apply Requires roller and storage.
Effectiveness
Savings of 50-70% can be achieved but only
when the cover is correctly covering the pool!
Savings from 15% - 45% can be achieved 24
hours a day, 7 days a week. You will be fully
covered
Difficult to cover free form pools and around
fountains and/or waterfalls.
Easily cover free form pools, and can cover
around water falls and faountains
Esthetics Even a high quality plastic pool blanket diminishes
the beauty of a back yard area
The liquid cover is entirely transparent and allows
your pool to look its natural best
Safety While a pool cover is in use, there is always a risk
that a child or pet will become trapped underneath
the cover.
HeatsavrTM and EcosavrTM are safe for all pool
users. Pool owners and operators can relax,
knowing that their pool is covered at all times.
The active ingredients in liquid pool covers are biodegradable organic compounds. Extensive testing proves that the active ingredients we have chosen do the best possible job at reducing evaporation, saving water and energy in every pool
The carrier agent is a bio-based Ethanol which evaporates off the pool water within minutes of being dose. Ethanol allows the active ingredients to spread out quickly and effectively. When the carrier agent is not an alcohol, as in some competing products, the resulting application is a slurry or milky solution, which spreads more slowly and may coagulate.
What is it made of?
HeatsavrTM consists of molecules that are attracted to water at one end and repelled by water at the other. Each molecule entangles with its neighbors forming a barrier that slows the evaporation of water molecules
Molecules spread out at a rate of 6 mph
The Science
Heatsavr™ Is the patented liquid pool cover developed by Flexible Solutions over 15 years ago
Developed by Dr. Robert O’Brien, chemical engineer, surfactant chemist
Ecosavr™ Is a small plastic fish that dispenses HeatsavrTM through a valve in the dorsal fin
Patented design

Pool Chemistry
“ In conclusion, pool water quality components common monitored by pool operators, including: free, total and combined chlorine; water temperature, total dissolved solids, cyanuric acid, pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, saturation index, iron, copper, nitrates, phosphates and clarity were not affected by the addition of Heatsavr. Minor fluctuations in water chemistry that occurred during the 30-minute test periods were more likely a consequence of normal chemical consumption resulting from introduction of bather and environmental wastes, and automated chemical injection.”
Alison Osinski, Ph. D.
HeatsavrTM has been in use for 20+ years around the world and has never caused a single health or safety issue
There have been multiple 3rd part health & safety tests conducted on HeatsavrTM

Can people swim while Heatsavr™ is in use? Yes, Heatsavr™ is tested and proven to be absolutely safe. It's designed to be in use 24 hours per day, which gives Heatsavr™ a distinct advantage over standard pool blankets. Is Heatsavr™ safe for filters and plumbing? Yes, Heatsavr™ is non-corrosive. There is no detrimental effect on pipes, pumps, valves, chlorine controllers, or filters commonly used in pool applications. Is Heatsavr™ environmentally friendly? Yes. Not only does Heatsavr™ biodegrade into safe, simple compounds, but the reduction in energy use is especially beneficial. Swimmers in the pool will not know it is being used.
