Abstract

Heating of swimming pools by direct absorption of solar radiation is discussed together with the role of pool covers in minimizing re-radiation of the collected energy. Properly designed pool covers behave as selective transmitters, admitting shorter wavelength radiation while being reflective at long wavelengths. Results of optical tests on a number of commercially available pool covers are presented.
