What is a Sol+ Guard Solar Cover?
A Sol+Guard cover is an innovative swimming pool bubble cover material that is sold in a all shapes and sizes.
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 reducing energy and water usage.
The tough durable 500 micron cover used for the Sol+Guard are formulated for climate conditions in various continents of the world depending on UV (ultra violet) weathering intensity. The Sol+Guard 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.
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 8OC
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.
Research was carried out 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 level.
Reduce Energy Consumption by over 50%
A Sol+Guard cover will eliminate evaporation and greatly reduce radiation. The 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 in up to half the amount of panels normally required for a pool without a cover.
Reduce Debris Contamination
Debris such a leaves, dirt, insects and bird droppings are not only unsightly in a pool but also provide nutrients for algae and bacteria to feed on. When the pool is covered these contaminants will be kept out of the water, greatly improving the quality and appearance of the water.
Save Money
A Sol+Guard cover will save money by reducing water, energy, cleaning and chemical costs. The Sol+Guard pool cover will pay for itself in less than a year.
Warranty
The Sol+Guard cover has a 5 year pro rata warranty.
Environmental Benefits
By reducing the amount of energy needed to heat and filter your pool water, a Sol+Guard cover will greatly reduce your carbon footprint. It also conserves water and, at the end of its life, this cover is 100% recyclable.
