A lot of pool sellers simply throw in the blanket to eliminate the heating objection in the pool sales presentation. Blankets do not create heat and mainly keep heat from escaping from the pool's surface. Pool owners will usually swim through a hot three-inch layer only to reach cold temperatures in the mass of water below this surface layer. Blankets are a pain in the neck, but a necessity in light of high-energy bills. People get used to swimming in colder pools and prefer these colder pools to the alternative of high monthly energy bills.
Blankets often require two people to place on or take off of the pool.
