What is an EnergyGuard Cover?
The innovative EnergyGuard cover inhibits swimming pool algae and saves money, time, water and energy usage. The product has a dark blue top surface and a black underside. It is this combination that gives the EnergyGuard cover the ability to provide a variety of benefits to the pool owner.The EnergyGuard swimming pool bubble cover material is sold in roll form to fabricators around the world for commercial and domestic use.
The durable 500 micron pool cover materials used for Energy Guard and Sol+Guard are formulated for climate conditions in various continents of the world depending on UV (ultra violet) weathering intensity. The Sol+Guard and Energy Guard materials are supplied in two UV formulations: one for areas up to 140 kLys/yrs (Kilolangley years) and one for up to 180kLys/yrs.
The additives we use combine weather and chemical resistant pigments with high performance light, weather and chemical stabilisation. The additives used are non-toxic and registered in Australia, Canada, China, EU, Japan, Korea, Philippines and USA.
- Inhibit Algae Growth - The EnergyGuard cover inhibits algae growth in outdoor and indoor swimming pools. A Plastipack EnergyGuard coverwill block the light from entering the water, therefore stopping photosynthesis and inhibiting algae growth. Research and scientific tests proved that the Energy Guard cover inhibits algae growth even without chemical treatment.
Inhibiting swimming pool algae offers many advantages to the pool owner:
- Save money by using up to 60% less pool chemicals
- Reduce electricity usage and costs by cutting filtration/pump time by up to 50%
- Lower the risk of eye, ear, skin and gut infections
- Reduce filter blockages
- Avoid slippery surfaces
- Improve the aesthetics of the water
- Save money and time preparing a pool after the winter period.
Increase pool temperature by up to 8?C through solar energy gain - the unique two ply combination of a Energy Guard cover allows maximum solar gain to pass through the cover increasing the pool temperature by up to 8?C.
