Solar Covers

Solar Covers (or bubble covers) are manufactured on specialist machines developed and adapted to produce flat covers with a strong weld. Our solar cover range uses materials of the highest quality and has been thoroughly tested and proven as best for the application. The fabric looks similar to bubble wrap hence the name bubble cover.

So how does a solar bubble cover benefit a swimming pool?
The sun's heat rays will pass through the solar cover into the pool water. The cover will help in the prevention of heat loss by allowing some of the rays to be reflected back into the pool water and by also preventing heat loss through evaporation. With the metallic covers the sun will then be reflected back into the pool by the metallic gold or silver coloured underside of the cover, creating more heat retention than the conventional solar covers.

• A Solar cover is a major part of swimming pool equipment and is considered to be absolutely essential
• For outdoor pools, a good quality cover will transmit free solar energy into the pool making the water warmer
• Works by transmitting heat from the sun directly through the specially sealed bubbles into the pool
• Will stop water evaporation which helps save on the pool chemicals and will also help save on conventional energy
• For pools which are heated by gas or other traditional methods the cover will help reduce energy requirements

Points common to all Solar Covers:
  • Covers are invoiced to the nearest sq.m.
  • When calculating cover prices round up to the nearest square metre
  • Covers come complete with a Solar Protector Sheet to be used when the cover is off the pool
  • Covers are made oversized
  • Non-hemmed covers are rectangular to be trimmed on site
  • Covers over 12m should be fitted with reinforcing and a leading edge
  • To convert from sq.ft to sq.m. multiply the sq.ft. size by 0.0929

Note: Welding on solar covers can lead to a slight waving. Cover guarantee is void if pool temperature exceeds 29°C, or SPATA standards for chemical and TDS levels are not met.
