When to use your pool cover
 If your pool is open all day:
For pools which are open all day, a cover should be placed over the
water as soon as it closes, and taken off just before it opens for
the day.
If you use your pool only at night:
For pools which are not in use during daylight hours, the
effectiveness of a pool cover will depend on whether the evaporation
and other losses prevented by the cover exceed the solar gain
reduction caused by the cover. This balance is affected by the type
of cover and the climate. In dry and/or windy conditions the
evaporation rate increases, and it is generally beneficial to have a
transparent or bubble cover on during daylight hours. In warm, humid
conditions the evaporation rate decreases, and it may be more
beneficial to leave the cover off during the daytime.
