HOME: ARTICLES: POOL HEATING: How to Measure Your Pool for a Bubble Solar Cover
It's great that you've decided to purchase a bubble cover. This article will help you decide what size pool cover you need to purchase. After purchasing your solar cover, read our article, How to install your solar bubble cover.


If you own a circular and rectangular swimming pool, there is a good chance that you can purchase a pool cover that’s factory made to fit your pool without modification. For many pool owners though, a pool requires a custom fit solar cover. If you cannot find a solar bubble cover that fits your exact dimensions, take a tape measure and precisely measure the length and width of the pool as if it was rectangular. Measure the widest portion of the width and longest portion of the length. Below is an illustration of precise measurements.



In this example, the pool owner would want to purchase a rectangular bubble cover at least 25ft by 37ft. We suggest adding an extra foot to the length and width to give yourself some flexibility when custom trimming your cover.
