As per our conversation, I can confirm that the City of Dawson Creek has been using the liquid pool blanket Heatsavr product throughout the 1990's.
In the mid 80's we were, if not the first, then one of the first Canadian municipal operations to implement the use of physical pool blanket on an indoor pool. We were very happy with the blankets and recognized substantial savings on heat, and lower humidity in the facility. By the time we were on the 3rd or 4th generation of the blanket, we were made aware of the 'liquid pool blanket' product called Heatsavr.

We agreed to test the product, which had to date been used primarily in small motel/hotel operations. It was first used on the hot tub and when the last of our physical pool blankets were in need of replacement, we switched the main pool over to Heatsavr. The only change made once implementing the use of the product was to upgrade from manual additions to the timed metering system.

Initial concerns on using the product included what affect would Heatsavr have on:
-the pool water with the agitation of the water slide?
-the pool heating cores,filtration system?
-our robot pool vacuum?
-bather comfort?
-slippage?
-water chemistry and clarity?

Would there be a product build up on the "scum line"?
None of our initial concerns have surfaced as a problem in all the years of use. There have been no operational problems whatsoever with the extended use of the product.

As we discussed I am confident that we are realizing greater savings than with the physical blanket, since "liquid pool blanket" Heatsavr is always in the pool. During slower program times, when practically we could not put the physical pool blanket back on the pool. Heatsavr is there and doing its job.
