水分的蒸发是游泳池池水温度的下降和水分损失的最主要原因。即使强烈的阳光照射在游泳池里，还是阻挡不了蒸发会导致池水冷却和水分损失。
太阳能游泳池盖可以帮助池水捕捉太阳的热量，并停止蒸发，节约能源，水和金钱。
太阳能游泳池盖布也可称为太阳能毯子solar blanket。太阳能泳池盖布覆盖在游泳池的水面上，气泡朝下跟水面接触。太阳能泳池盖布把太阳光转化为热能，加热池水，同时透过的太阳光线也可以加热池水。使用太阳能游泳池盖布的时候禁止使用游泳池游泳。太阳能游泳池盖布比较轻，可以使用专用卷轴收放泳池盖布，只要一个人就可以操作，非常方便轻松。
太阳能游泳池盖布跟普通包装材料的气泡膜极其相似。它们一般都是透光的，颜色一般是蓝色。气泡里的空气不但可以吸收太阳的热量加热池水，还可以在晚上阻止池水热量散发到空气里，起保温作用。

这种鱼形的太阳能包是个太阳能收集器，不能有效防止蒸发。但是他们可以收集太阳能，把热量释放到水里，并且在使用它们时可以使用游泳池游泳。
