Most suitable for Outdoor Pools and Pools in Warmer Climates

The most popular type of swimming pool cover sold in the UK is the solar pool cover. This bubble type solar blanket is designed for use on outdoor pools to maximise the benefits of free solar energy.

These solar pool covers harness the energy of the sun by transmitting the sun’s rays through specially sealed air cells that float on the pool surface. In turn, this will raise the temperature of your pool water. In some circumstances the temperature gain can be more than 10 degrees which in some cases can extend your swimming season by up to six weeks.

In addition, covering the surface of the water will reduce the water evaporation by up to 98%, which will decrease your pool heating and pool chemical expenditure.

They are available in a variety of grades and thicknesses which determines their effectiveness in various environments. We have designed an easy to use grid that should help you in choosing the most appropriate cover for your pool.

Some of the pool covers are more suited to help with solar gain like the Sol + Guard Solar 500 Micron Solar Cover and others that include an aluminium heat reflective underside like the Gold 500 Micron Solar Pool Cover are designed to retain more heat in the pool. Nevertheless most of the 500 micron thickness of covers are going to retain a good degree of heat, as they will nearly all eliminate heat loss caused by water evaporation. We also offer a range of solar covers that are designed specifically for the warmer climates like Spain, Italy, France, Cyrpus etc. These covers have been manufactured with extra UV stabilisation which will add to the general life expectancy of the cover.

Additional options are available including a range of edge finishes for example hemming and specifically designed leading edge & towing kits. These are particularly useful if the cover is to be handled by one person and also will help to extend the life of the product too.

As the solar type bubble covers are of the manual variety, you will almost certainly require a swimming pool reel. Without one of these, it is fairly difficult to remove the covers from the pool and with regular manual handling, the material will most certainly get damaged very easily. We offer a variety of swimming pool rollers that can be operated by a steering wheel, solar energy or for a greater investment, by the push of a button on a remote control.
