With that being said, seems TGTBT, I would check out trouble free pool. They seem to know what is legit on all things pool
Heat flux? You mean specific heat.
For some reason you're only talking about infrared. The sun emits a lot of energy wavelengths, including the visible spectrum. The higher the frequency, the greater the energy when they're converted to heat. Infrared is relatively low frequency. Even if the pool absorbs all infrared energy, black will absorb the infrared plus a lot of higher wavelengths that water will reflect.
Your comment that a solar blanket can't increase the amount of energy absorbed by the water also doesn't make sense. I assume that statement is based off your belief that surface area is all that matters, and color is irrelevant. If so, as demonstrated by the car test, that isn't true.
Almost like rain wouldnt cause the exact same thing with time.....

Try leaving a hose trickling on the same spot on the roof for a month or more and see what happens.
Roofs are designed to keep water out, but it doesn't mean its impenetrable with constant moisture and saturation.
also depends on type of roofing material also but for this case specifically shingle sheeting. I've also seen this with concrete tiles, where the paper underlayment gets damaged also.
Buy 100+ feet of black irrigation tubing (polyethylene, ~0.5-1" diameter; the more length, the hotter the water, so go with larger diameter if you're doing 300' or so). Keep coiled, but stretch coils naturally to the side to provide more tubing exposed to the sun - you can run loops along a fence or lay on top of roof). Add diverter valve to pool RETURN from filter, allowing you to divert all/some/no water (pool can get too hot for comfort IMO), and a garden hose connector on other end of tubing (connected to hose you can put in the pool). On sunny days, the water coming out will be scalding hot, so put end of hose in deep end and warn kids to stay away (turn off when children actively swimming). This will raise pool temps depending on sun exposure (raised mine 10-15 degrees in a few days), easy to customize location/hide/remove, and only cost $30-50 in materials.
Shilly?
6-10 degrees is huge in a pool. Heck, it's pretty big in your house…
We used to keep our data centers 66 degrees in the military. We had a coat rack just outside so you could throw on a coat when working in it for any amount of time…
How would you get water damage if this was installed properly on a roof? Wouldn't it be just like it was raining if it leaked?
