Undergrad Pool heat gain by solar radiation versus heat loss by evaporation
Hi A.T thanks, but I've had one of those before. there difficult to remove and you need an ugly big roll beside your pool. Since I've been using the EPE panels my pool is a lot warmer too. I just cannot figure out whether it's better to cover the pool during a sunny day or not rgds...- chrisDH

Undergrad Pool heat gain by solar radiation versus heat loss by evaporation
Hi, On various websites I read that 70% of the heat loss of a pool is by evaporation, whereas up to 85% of the solar radiation can heat an uncovered pool. We use 22mm thick black color EPE panels to cover our pool. On a sunny day, is it better to cover the pool or to leave it uncovered ...- chrisDH
