GeoBubble Swimming Pool Solar Cover – EnergyGuard 500 Micron – 6 year warranty
EnergyGuard 500 Micron GeoBubble Solar Cover – Selective Transmission
The EnergyGuard 500 mic Solar Pool Cover – Selective Transmission has a dark coating to prevent UV rays algae feed on from passing which helps to prevent the algae growth, whilst allowing solar energy gain to penetrate, it reduces chemical useage and algae problems. The GeoBubble is designed to be much more durable and results in the cover lasting up to 25% longer. Other benefits are the 500 micron thickness and the darker side means it works well at heating and maintaining the pool temperature as it retains the heat.
The EnergyGuard 500 micron GeoBubble covers come with a 6 year pro-rata warranty, terms & conditions apply.

Science:The old design of bubble cover was flawed with weaknesses that over time would fail due to heat, chemical attack and residual heat acting on the thin points of the bubble. This is because it was not originally designed with this application in mind. GeoBubble address these issues by design, through uniform thickness and greater room for air expansion. This increases cover lifespan by up to 25%.
Geo Bubbles main benefits:Smart Design – GeoBubble’s unique design of two bubbles joined at the waist line with no sharp corners result in an overall thickness of 50% more than traditional bubble covers with no thinner or weak points.
UV Stabilised – Resistant to the Sun’s UV rays due to the material’s additive, stabiliser and anti-oxidant package, dramatically increasing the lifespan of the cover.
EnergyGuard Material and why chose it? – Selective Transmission cover with GeoBubble technology inhibits algae growth within your swimming pool whilst allowing solar gain to penetrate. This saves you money, chemicals, time, water and energy usage, as well as being scientifically designed to last longer. It is the combination of this products dark grey top surface and a black underside that gives the EnergyGuard swimming pool cover the ability to provide a variety of benefits..
Research and tests – Even without chemical treatment, experiments proved that the EnergyGuard swimming pool cover inhibits algae growth. The testing ran on two swimming pools for ten days, where one pool had a standard solar gain cover and the other an EnergyGuard cover. Both pools had simulated use, with no chemical treatment and no filtration. The pool with the standard solar gain cover soon went green due to algae growth, whereas the pool with the EnergyGuard cover showed no algae growth. This test was continued for a further two months and the pool with the EnergyGuard cover still remained free of algae for the duration.
GeoBubble technology – EnergyGuard comes with GeoBubble technology which through its unique and patented shape increases the expected life of the product by improving its endurance against the harsh swimming pool environment with Ultra Violet light and chemical attack.
How can this save money? – An EnergyGuard cover will save money by reducing water, heating, electricity and chemical costs and can pay for itself in less than a year.
Reduce Filtration/Pump Time by up to 50% – By inhibiting algae growth filtration time can be cut by up to 50% greatly reducing your electricity usage. Filtration will still be required to circulate the water and remove impurities from the pool, but calculated on regular pool use a 50% reduction is achievable. If the pool is used heavily more filtration time will be needed.
Reduce Chemical Consumption by up to 70% – Chemical usage can be reduced as the EnergyGuard cover inhibits algae growth and eliminates water evaporation resulting in cost savings: Because algae growth will be inhibited by physical means by use of the EnergyGuard swimming pool cover rather than chemical means, this will result in the use of less chlorine.
Reduce Energy Consumption by over 50% – Pool heating costs can be reduced as the EnergyGuard cover will eliminate evaporation and greatly reduce heat radiation. Heat retention tests carried out in collaboration with two UK Universities showed energy savings of over 50%. This applied to oil, gas, electric heater or heat pump usage.
Eliminate Water Evaporation by 98% + – Water consumption, charges, and the use of a natural resource can be reduce your by eliminating water evaporation by over 98%.
Absorb the Sun’s Energy – We know that the colour black absorbs the sun’s heat in a very efficient way. Research and scientific tests have resulted in the development of an opaque grey colour that has similar heat absorbing characteristics.
Reduce Debris – Leaves, dirt, insects, bird droppings and other debris are not only unsightly in a swimming 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, plus helping to reduce chemical consumption.
Benefits to the environment as well as saving money – An EnergyGuard cover will greatly reduce the carbon footprint of your pool by reducing the amount of energy needed to heat and filter your pool water. It also conserves water and, at the end of its life, all of our covers are 100% recyclable (Grade 4 LDPE recycling).
Warranty – The EnergyGuard cover has a 6 year pro-rata warranty. Please note that the length of the warranty may vary in some countries
