Solar Cover Geo Bubble Sol Guard 500M per sq ft

Above ground solar covers from 1st-direct.com. Solar covers are not shaped for circular and oval pools however they can be easily cut on site to get a snug fit. Solar covers aid in two ways by improving heat retention and reducing evapouration therefore creating a warmer pool.

The Sol+Guard cover is an innovative swimming pool bubble cover material that is sold in roll form to fabricators around the world for commercial and domestic use. The product has a unique two ply combination, a clear top surface and a translucent tinted underside.

Tests carried out, in collaboration with Brighton and London Metropolitan Universities, prove that the more translucent a bubble cover is, the greater the penetration of solar energy into the pool water. This cover is at the top of its class in allowing the maximum amount of solar gain. The Sol+Guard cover has the ability to provide a variety of benefits to the end-user. This ranges from reducing the heating and maintenance costs and the personal desire to save natural resources, to the practicalities of reducingenergy and water usage.

The tough durable 500 micron pool cover materials used for EnergyGuard and Sol+Guard are formulated for climate conditions in various continents of the world depending on UV (ultra violet) weathering intensity. 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.

• Increase pool temperature by up to 8?C through solar energy gain - the unique two ply combination of a Sol+Guard cover allows maximum solar gain to pass through the cover increasing the pool temperature by up to 8?C.
• Eliminate Water Evaporation by 98% + - With an Sol+Guard pool cover you will be able to eliminate water evaporation by over 98%, thus greatly reducing your water consumption and your water charges, as well as saving a vital natural resource. Plastipack carried out research, in collaboration with the Brighton and London Metropolitan Universities, which proved that the evaporation loss in the UK for an average sized pool, 4m x 8m, is approximately 32,000 litres per year. This figure is considerably higher for hotter climates.
• Reduce Chemical Consumption by up to 30% A Sol+Guard cover can help reduce chemical losses by evaporation by up to 30% when it is in use.All pool chemical levels and treatment should be maintained at the manufacturers recommended.
• Reduce Energy Consumption by over 50% - A Sol+Guard cover will eliminate evaporation and greatly reduce radiation. Plastipack?s heat retention tests carried out in collaboration with the Brighton and London Metropolitan Universities, showed conclusive energy savings of over 50%. This applied to oil, gas, electric heater or heat pump usage. Where solar heating is used, it is possible to invest
