A pool cover apparatus includes a sheet of corrugated polyethylene as a vapor barrier, where the sheet is wound onto a storage shaft when not in use. A drive shaft is disposed in a spaced-apart relationship with the storage shaft. When it is desired to deploy the sheet to cover the surface of a pool, the sheet passes over the drive shaft and the corrugations on the polyethylene sheet engage with the teeth on the drive shaft. Thus, as the drive shaft rotates, it causes the vapor barrier sheet to continue to move out and away from the shafts and cover the pool. Conversely, when it is desired to remove the sheet from the pool, the storage shaft is engaged, rotating in a manner that functions as a take-up reel and winds the vapor barrier sheet up on the shaft for storage.
