Does it prevent some water evaporation? With the drought in California that's a concern.

I lived in Las Vegas and I could never keep them on the pool long enough to test that theory. Since the outer ring is filled with air, it caught any breeze that came along and left the pool. I found them on the fence, in the neighbors yard, or all piled on one side of the pool. I tried EVERYTHING to keep them on, tied on water bottles to each disk, threw a fishnet over the whole thing and weighted it down. No luck =(

Yes they do and that is why we use them as well as heating the pool. They are just like the solar covers without the entrapment fears.

Not so sure about water but absolutely sure about chemicals. I use far less chlorine and acid.

Not Really. It will keep the rain off for a while but then it eventually leaks.

This was my concern also. In my opinion, yes, over time. I took a rectangular clear plastic top from a sealed container which covered an item I had purchased and attached it with stick on velcro to the side of this unit. It made a pretty good weather guard. The rotating lock code numbers are not weather proofed and could allow moisture in. To me, over time this would have to have a corosion factor.

I expect it would although I'm sure the manufacturer would recommend against it. Because its closed sell, it should repel water.

I cannot say for sure whether or not the canopy is water proof. Rain is not an issue in Southern California. However, we did have some rain after we erected the gazebo. The table and cement underneath did look completely dry afterwards. More importantly, the canopy drained well, obviating the need to push up on the edges to clear off puddles of water as with our previous canopies. The fabric has a stiff, plastic feel, which leads me to believe it would perform well in wetter climates.

Hi Wei, I live in So. Cal...........also hot, dry summers inland. I applied this product in summer with no problem. Just be sure to use a good spreader and don't over-apply. I had really good results. Greener, healthier lawn - better than all my neighbors! I do recommend.

Not that I have noticed. I keep mine covered when not in use so it does not get rained on.

Hi, It will keep everything locked up, but it will not prevent moisture. Air will come in from the sides.

The temperature is less of an issue than the moisture. It is not rated for outside use.

No. Not in the "waterproof" sense of the word. It will repel minor water, though.

Naw it's been pretty dry here in so cal, I wouldn't expected it to be to waterproof although it does look and feel pretty seeled up I'm pretty sure it could handle a regular shower I wouldn't leave it out to long though

No, not totally water proof. There was some, minimal, drip. It did block well over 90% of the rain though. I could stand under it while it rained and wouldn't really notice what little did come through.

Nope. Was a concern. I've asked other people and unless you're in a torrential rain, I hear they are not really needed. It doesn't rain much in southern California. This doesn't foul your leg like the stocker or especially most other heavy breathers.

No, but it does provide some water resistance protection. Mainly from splashes.

since my garage is heated it usually evaporates w/o any trouble... I have a large floor squeegee that I have used if I think there is too much water on the mat, but honestly don't think I would have needed to-- it contains and holds a lot of water..

I hung mine in a patio and its partially exposed. And no, since its canvas, it's not water repellant. I cover mine and its fine.

I wish I could answer with authority. I've used the product outside for over a year, now. The problem is that, while it is outside, it is also sheltered from rain. I don't know if water would hurt the product or not.
