These balls are also used to deter birds from lakes and ponds near airport runways, pretty clever stuff

I wonder if I could use this method to heat my pool and stop the sun creating so much algae in the pool ??

Sure... and you could swim right through them.

Thanks for the link and welcome to the Cellar.

Cheers Bruce, I have been lurking for months and felt it was time to post

Here is another interesting link, I definatly need to get a load of these balls to use as a pool cover. I just cannot find anywhere that sells a bis amount of them at a decent price.

I have found multi coloured ones though which would look good

LOL!! I hadn't thought of the incongruity of walking into a toy store and asking the first salesperson I see: "Pardon me, but do you have big black balls?"
