A floating cover and a fixed cover differ primarily in their attachment and adaptability to the water surface. A floating cover rests directly on the water, buoyed by its design to adapt to water-level changes. This allows it to maintain coverage regardless of fluctuations, reducing evaporation and preventing contamination.
A fixed cover is securely anchored to a structure, such as a tank or reservoir rim, and does not move with water level changes. While fixed covers can offer protection and durability, they require precise installation and can be less flexible in accommodating varying water levels.
