🌡️ The Royal Blue 600M Difference: Premium Performance

Why 600 Microns Matters

You wouldn’t insulate your home with paper-thin material. Why do it with your pool?

The Royal Blue 600M is 50% thicker than standard 400-micron covers, delivering:

✅ Superior Heat Retention – Reduces heat loss by up to 75% overnight
✅ Extreme Durability – 600-micron thickness resists UV damage and chemical exposure 25% longer than conventional covers
✅ Maximum Insulation – Thick bubble design traps more heat, keeping your pool swim-ready even on cooler days
✅ Commercial-Grade Strength – Used in schools and community pools across the UK

🔬 GeoBubble™ Technology: Science-Backed Performance

The Problem with Traditional Bubble Covers

Standard bubble wrap-style covers fail at the stress points – the corners where bubbles join together. UV rays and chemicals attack these weak spots, causing premature cracking and degradation.

The GeoBubble™ Solution

Our patented GeoBubble™ design eliminates 50% of stress points by using a unique two-bubble shape that connects along smooth, flowing curves – not sharp corners.

Real-World Results:

• 25% longer lifespan than traditional bubble covers
• Two-thirds of material thickness in the bubble for superior resistance to oxidation
• 5-Year Pro-Rata Warranty in UK & Ireland (subject to proper maintenance)

🎨 Why Royal Blue? The Perfect Balance

The Royal Blue 600M isn’t just aesthetically pleasing – the color science delivers optimal pool performance:

Dual-Action Heating & Protection

✓ Solar Absorption – Royal blue pigmentation captures solar energy efficiently while minimizing algae-promoting light spectrum
✓ UV Transmission – Allows beneficial heating rays to penetrate and warm your water by up to 8°C in ideal conditions
✓ Algae Control – Blocks light wavelengths that trigger algae growth, keeping water clearer between cleanings

The Bottom Line: Royal Blue gives you heating power without the algae problems that plague clear covers.

💧 Stop Pouring Money Down the Drain (Literally)

The Evaporation Crisis Most Pool Owners Don’t Know About

Every week, your uncovered 12ft x 24ft pool loses approximately 615 litres of water to evaporation. That’s:

• 🛁 8 bathtubs of water per week
• 💰 £120 per year in water bills (at £3.76 per 1,000 litres)
• 🧪 All your carefully balanced chemicals floating away with it

Our 600M Cover Solution

Eliminates 98%+ of water evaporation – saving you 31,360 litres annually

That’s enough water to fill 400 bathtubs or supply a household’s drinking water for an entire year.

⚗️ Slash Chemical Consumption by 30%

How This Cover Protects Your Chemical Investment

When water evaporates, your chlorine and pH balancers evaporate with it. You’re literally watching money disappear into thin air.

With the Royal Blue 600M:

🤔 Frequently Asked Questions

Will this cover heat my pool on its own?

The Royal Blue 600M can increase water temperature by up to 8°C in optimal conditions (strong sunshine, smaller pool volumes, longer exposure). However, for consistent, comfortable swimming temperatures in the UK climate, we recommend using it alongside a heat pump or gas heater. The cover’s true superpower is retaining heat once achieved – keeping your pool warm overnight and preventing energy waste.

Can I run my pool pump with the cover on?

Yes, absolutely! A properly secured solar cover will not interfere with your pump’s circulation. The cover floats on the surface while your pump circulates water underneath. Many pool owners leave their cover on during filtration cycles to maximize heat retention.

Why is 600M better than 400M or 500M?

Thickness directly correlates with heat retention, durability, and lifespan. The 600M is:

• 50% thicker than 400M = significantly better insulation and longer life
• 20% thicker than 500M = enhanced durability for high-use or commercial settings
• Commercial-grade strength at residential pricing

For a 12ft x 24ft pool, the 600M thickness provides the optimal balance of performance and value.

How long will this cover last?

With proper care (balanced chemicals, storage during winter, avoiding sharp objects), expect 5-8 years of reliable service. The GeoBubble™ design extends lifespan by 25% compared to traditional bubble covers, and the 600-micron thickness resists degradation from UV and chlorine exposure.

What if it doesn’t fit my pool exactly?

This cover is made to order at 12ft x 24ft. It should sit on your water surface with a slight overhang. If your pool has unique dimensions, custom sizes are available – contact us for a bespoke quote. Use our online pool cover calculator for guidance.

Do I need a roller?

While not strictly necessary, a roller system makes daily use dramatically easier – especially for a 12ft x 24ft cover. Without a roller, you’ll need two people to fold and store the cover. With a roller, one person can deploy or remove the cover in under 2 minutes. See our range of compatible roller systems.

Can I use this in winter?

No, not recommended. Solar covers are designed for the swimming season (April-October). For winter protection, switch to a dedicated winter cover that handles ice, snow, and sustained freezing temperatures. Proper seasonal storage protects your investment and ensures the cover is ready for next season.

What’s the difference between Royal Blue and Gold 600M covers?

• Royal Blue: Optimal balance of heat absorption and algae control; best for pools prone to algae issues
• Gold 600M: Aluminum backing for maximum heat retention; best for pools prioritizing temperature gain

Both are 600 microns. Choose based on your pool’s primary challenge.

⚠️ Understanding Your Results: Important Disclaimers

Savings Calculations

All savings figures are estimates based on typical scenarios:

• Pool size: 12ft x 24ft (26,000 litres/5,700 gallons)
• Season length: 6 months (April-September)
• Energy rates: £0.30/kWh for electricity, £0.055/kWh for gas
• Water rates: £3.76 per 1,000 litres (UK average)
• Climate: South/Central England with average sunshine
• Heating system: Modern gas heater or heat pump
• Starting conditions: Pool previously uncovered

Factors That Affect Your Results

Your actual savings and performance will vary based on:

✓ Geographic location – Northern regions receive less solar gain
✓ Pool orientation – South-facing pools heat more efficiently
✓ Surrounding shade – Trees and buildings reduce solar heating
✓ Local climate – Wind increases evaporation; sunshine increases heating
✓ Usage patterns – Frequent swimming requires more reheating
✓ Water temperature target – Higher targets need more supplemental heating
✓ Existing heating system efficiency – Older systems waste more energy
✓ Chemical type and dosing – Different sanitizers evaporate at different rates

Warranty Conditions

The 5-year pro-rata warranty (UK & Ireland only) requires:

• Pool water temperature must not exceed 29°C
• Pool chemistry must meet SPATA standards at all times
• Chlorine levels between 2-4 ppm
• Proper storage during off-season
• No physical damage from sharp objects or improper use

Warranty is void if these conditions are not maintained. Warranty covers manufacturing defects, not wear-and-tear or neglect.

Performance Claims

Temperature increases “up to 8°C” represent maximum potential gains under ideal conditions: strong, direct sunlight for 6+ hours, minimal starting temperature, smaller pool volumes, and calm (non-windy) conditions. Most UK pools will experience 2-5°C gains in typical summer conditions.
