The capacity of the rod depends on what it's made of, how it is installed, its length and mid-support. If you are attaching a rod to the rod that's currently installed, that will add stress to the first rod, so make sure you know the capacity of the original closet rod. Rods that are anchored in the studs are more sturdy. Use solid hardwood rods. Plastic and aluminum rods, often sold in doubling kits, aren't very study.
Remove the vinyl cover when using a solar blanket to warm the water. If the vinyl cover is used at the same time as the solar blanket, the vinyl cover absorbs most of the heat and then transfers the heat into the air or water between the vinyl cover and the solar blanket. Then the heat transfers to the solar blanket and then, finally, into the water. When this happens, a lot of heat remains in the vinyl cover and air/water between the two covers instead of getting into the water. It is preferable to have the heat absorbed by the solar cover and then transfer directly into the water. Hope this helps... Too much redundancy in pool covers.
