Do you think that this actually conserves water by preventing evaporation? What happens when you break the surface of the water by swimming?

Actually it does prevent evaporation. It now takes 3-4 days to reduce the water level to what it used to take 1 day. This is the second year I have used the product and it works. Nothing happens when you break the surface, you don't even know. One thing I don't like about the product: instructions tell you to cut along marked edges to release the sealing agent: well it is not that easy and you have to keep cutting deeper and deeper. I have mentioned that in my product review both this year and last, but I will still buy it despite the minor frustration. Hope this helps.

Yes. I think it does help. Not greatly. But it forms a very thin layer on the surface. Even if you break the surface, the film will come back together. I'm sure it's main purpose is conservation when no one is in the pool. But it helps keep my pool water stay warm overnight, on cool nights.

as long as you have the water return lip above the surface of the water you do not need additional air. As the water coming in breaks the surface tension and supplies enough oxygenation. But of course you can add it for "fun" to ride the bubbles as suggested by raifordgirl.

Its not going to stop working if you put it in water. Its like saying is a rubber duckie water proof. Just let it dry out first if you want to use it outside of the water.

I only used it while snorkeling and riding a jet ski. When sealed properly it was perfect in those conditions. Perhaps you should contact the manufacturer with your question, because I do not know how water pressure during diving would affect the seal.

It might help. It absorbs the water first, then becomes a barrier. If you are using it to prevent flooding of your living room, it might help. If there isn't anywhere else for the water to go, it isn't going to stop a flood.

I have not tested it "under water" as it clearly states not to submerge in water. It does work great in my shower though.

Well, it's made out of a foam-like material, so it would become damp. You might be able to pull it off though if you covered it with a plastic bag and taped it up so the water didn't get in.

Yes, I was swimming with it for hours at the beach. Just make sure all three seals are fastened tightly, they are like ziplocks. I crashed in the waves and not one drop of water.

Well normally when the surface of the water is broken it helps bring oxygen into the water. As least to my knowledge.

I have never had a situation where it was completely submerged. I would suggest you contact irobot the manufacturer.

The rain water quickly evaporates. Our problem is with pine pollen and other tree debris. We took the cover off and rinsed it off and then put it back on. I think we will buy a roller that sits at the edge of the pool to simplify the movement.

No. It doesn't appear to have been designed that way, although it might slow water down a little bit it definitely isn't waterproof

The water does bubble out but not enough to matter.. In my opinion it does that due to heat and steam inundating the bowl and having to escape somewhere. Again, its never been an issue to me.

No. Actually, by dispersing air it tends to cool the water down. Because I enjoy hot baths I begin with hot water and as the water temperature drops I add more hot water. Pay attention not to scald yourself

It prevents rain from getting you wet. Alas, it does not prevent the rain from occurring. It is completely waterproof.

Depends on the humity but i havent had to empty it yet. It should evaporate most of the water itself.

No. It is not tempered for the heat of the water. Doing so could cause it to break/shatter.
