Clear-Tek Solar Pool Cover

This feature is only available to GreenYour members. Please sign-up.
Research has shown that the best cover or blanket for raising and maintaining water temperatures in your pool is a clear solar cover. This allows the sun to shine through the cover and warm the pool, raising water temperatures by as much as 15º F. At night the blanket helps seal in the warmth to maintain optimal swimming comfort, and lessen the need for using a heater.

I bought one of these two years ago (12 mm deep, 2 yr warranty), and now it is degeneratingcl(clogging ou pool filter, in the process, with its tiny cells). I'd like to RECYCLE it, but the distributor (Doheny's Water Warehouse) refuses to reveal what type of plastic it's made out of, and a websearch for the Clear-Tek company does not yield a company making pool covers (perhaps the company is Chinese & unregistered in the US?). An Australian pool cover from solarcovers.com claims to be "completely recycle-able" and is made of LDPE 4, but one must import this from Australia, and then (2 years later -- they all only have 2 year complete warranties for a reason!) one must ship one's cover to an LDPE-4 plant. Please, can ANYone tell me what kind of plastic this "Clear-Tek" pool cover is made of?
