Hot tubs need not apply
Meet the Solar Pool Flower! They’re lightweight (but not too light — they stay put in the wind), gorgeous, and made of recyclable plastic. Come through, sustainability!
Here’s how they work
They’re cone-shaped, which allows for water to flow in and out easily. The plastic captures and holds the heat, so the water that flows through it heats up, too.
They’re ideal for smaller pools
Reviewers say that they do work, but they tend to heat the area they capture water in the most. So, having a ton in a small pool will result in warmer water.
Plenty of people gave it a thumbs-up
User Trina S. said: “I absolutely love this product! Such a more eye pleasing way of warming up my pool. I love how easy it is to move them around to where the sun is on the water. I also love how I don’t have to worry about a dog or child falling into a solar blanket and getting trapped.”
On the other hand, some begged to differ
One user, LaCrisha Randle, didn’t like that the flowers “bunch up, flip over and stack on themselves constantly,” though this problem did not affect the heating.
You can get yours on Amazon
The pool flowers are available for $150/pack.
If these aren’t quite your speed, Amazon also sells solar mats that are meant to heat your pool, too!
