The Ultimate Year-Round Pool Protection Investment
Transform your pool maintenance costs while enjoying warmer water for longer. This premium 600M GeoBubble solar cover represents the pinnacle of bubble cover technology—combining maximum heat retention, superior durability, and substantial cost savings in one intelligently designed package.
💰 Your Investment Pays for Itself
Real Money Saved, Season After Season
When you cover your 13ft x 27ft pool with this 600M GeoBubble cover, here’s what you can expect*:
Annual Savings Breakdown:
- Heating Costs: Reduce energy consumption by up to 70%—saving approximately £400-£700/year when used with a heat pump
- Water Bills: Prevent up to 32,000 litres of evaporation annually (that’s roughly 400 bathtubs of water)—worth approximately £80-£120/year
- Chemical Costs: Cut chlorine and chemical usage by up to 30%—saving around £50-£100/year on pool chemicals
- Cleaning Time: Slash debris-related maintenance by 90%+—reclaim 20-30 hours of your valuable time each season
Total Estimated Savings: £530-£920 per year*
⚡ Energy Efficiency That Makes a Difference
This 600M cover can help you save up to 7,000 kWh of electricity annually when paired with a modern heat pump. At current energy rates, that’s serious money back in your pocket—all while reducing your carbon footprint.
🔥 Premium 600M GeoBubble Technology: What Sets This Apart
Why Thickness Matters
The 600 micron thickness of this cover makes it one of the thickest, most effective solar bubble covers available:
| Feature | 400M Covers | 500M Covers | 600M (This Cover) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heat Retention | Good | Better | Best ✅ |
| Durability | 2-3 years | 3-4 years | 4-5+ years ✅ |
| UV Resistance | Standard | Enhanced | Maximum ✅ |
| Insulation Value | Basic | Improved | Premium ✅ |
| Weight Support | Light debris | Moderate debris | Heavy debris ✅ |
🌟 GeoBubble Innovation
Unlike traditional round bubble covers that burst and degrade quickly, GeoBubble technology uses a scientifically designed bubble shape that:
- Lasts 25% longer than conventional bubble covers
- Resists UV and chemical degradation more effectively
- Maintains structural integrity through temperature fluctuations
- Provides more consistent heat transfer across the entire surface
What This Means for You: A cover that performs better and lasts longer, making it the smartest long-term investment.
🌡️ How It Works: Science Meets Savings
The Solar Heating Effect
- Sunlight Penetration: The royal blue colour allows optimal UV transmission while filtering harmful rays that degrade pool chemicals
- Heat Capture: Thousands of air-filled GeoBubbles act like miniature greenhouses, trapping solar energy
- Heat Transfer: The 600M thickness conducts captured warmth directly into your pool water
- Temperature Boost: Raise water temperature by up to 8°C in optimal conditions*
The Insulation Advantage
When the sun goes down, that premium 600M thickness becomes your best defense against heat loss:
- Reduces heat loss by up to 75% overnight and during cloudy days
- Creates an insulating barrier that keeps warmth where it belongs—in your water
- Prevents the cooling effect of evaporation (which accounts for 70% of heat loss in uncovered pools)
The Result: Extend your swimming season by weeks or even months, without skyrocketing heating bills.
💧 Stop Evaporation Before It Starts
The Hidden Cost of Uncovered Pools
Every day your pool sits uncovered, water molecules escape into the air. For a pool this size, that’s:
- Up to 98% reduction in evaporation with this cover in place
- Approximately 87 litres per day saved during peak summer months
- 32,000+ litres annually—enough to fill your pool multiple times over several years
Why This Matters: Water loss isn’t just about refilling costs. Every litre that evaporates takes heat energy with it, and carries away expensive pool chemicals. This cover stops the drain on your wallet at the source.
🧪 Keep More Chemicals Where They Belong
The Chemistry of Savings
Uncovered pools lose chemicals through three routes:
- Evaporation (chemicals evaporate with water)
- UV Degradation (sunlight breaks down chlorine)
- Debris Consumption (organic matter uses up sanitizer)
This royal blue 600M cover combats all three:
✅ 30% reduction in chemical consumption
✅ 5kg less chlorine needed per year
✅ Maintains balanced water chemistry longer
✅ Fewer test strips, fewer adjustments, less hassle
Translation: Spend £50-£100 less on chemicals annually, and enjoy more stable, balanced water.
🍃 Debris Protection: Your Time is Valuable
What Stays Out
With this cover secured over your 13ft x 27ft pool, you’ll drastically reduce:
- Fallen leaves and tree debris
- Insect contamination
- Bird droppings
- Windblown dirt and dust
- Pollen and organic matter
What This Means
Before the Cover: 30-60 minutes of skimming, vacuuming, and debris removal per week
With the Cover: 5-10 minutes of quick maintenance per week
Time Saved: 20-40 hours per swimming season—that’s nearly a full work week you can spend actually enjoying your pool.
📐 Perfect Fit: 13ft x 27ft (4m x 8.2m)
Size Specifications
- Dimensions: 13 feet x 27 feet (approximately 4 meters x 8.2 meters)
- Coverage: Ideal for rectangular pools up to 12ft x 26ft
- Overlap: Generous sizing ensures complete coverage and secure anchoring
- Custom Option: If this size isn’t perfect, made-to-measure options are available
Installation Tip: Bubbles face DOWN toward the water for maximum heat transfer efficiency. The smooth side faces up for easy debris removal.
🎨 Why Royal Blue?
The Colour Science
The royal blue tint of this cover offers the ideal balance:
| Cover Colour | Solar Gains | UV Protection | Algae Prevention | Best For |

🛠️ Usage & Maintenance Guide
Getting the Most From Your Cover
Daily Use:
- Roll on at night and during non-swimming hours to maximize heat retention
- Keep pool pump running with cover on—it won’t interfere with circulation
- Remove debris from cover surface before rolling off
Optimal Conditions for Performance:
- Sun Exposure: More direct sunlight = greater temperature gains (up to 8°C possible)
- Wind Protection: Sheltered locations retain heat better
- Secure Fit: Properly fitted covers perform up to 20% better
Maintenance:
- Rinse with fresh water monthly to remove chemical residue
- Store carefully during winter to extend lifespan to 4-5+ years
- Inspect regularly for wear; GeoBubble technology shows visible degradation before failure
Compatible With:
- Pool heat pumps (recommended for best results)
- Solar pool heaters (excellent combination)
- Manual or automatic roller systems
- Standard pool pumps and filtration systems
💡 Pair With Heat Pumps for Maximum Efficiency
The Perfect Partnership
This 600M solar cover is specifically designed to work in harmony with modern heat pump technology:
Without Cover: Heat pump works constantly to maintain temperature, fighting evaporation and heat loss
With Cover: Heat pump runs 50-70% less, with the cover retaining the warmth generated
The Synergy:
- Heat pump brings water to desired temperature efficiently
- 600M cover locks that heat in overnight and during the day
- Result: Up to 7,000 kWh saved annually—worth £1,750-£2,450 at typical UK energy rates*
If you’re running a heat pump without a quality cover, you’re essentially heating the atmosphere. This cover keeps your investment where it belongs—in your pool.

A: No. This is NOT a safety cover. It cannot support the weight of children, pets, or adults. Install perimeter fencing if safety is a concern.
Q: Can I use this in winter?
A: This cover is designed for swimming season (spring through autumn). For winter protection in harsh UK weather, switch to a purpose-made winter cover and store this carefully until spring.
Q: How much can I really save?
A: Typical savings range from £530-£920 annually across energy, water, and chemical costs for a pool this size. Individual results vary based on climate, usage, existing heating system, and energy rates. See disclaimer section for details.
Q: Will this fit my pool exactly?
A: This cover is 13ft x 27ft and works best for pools up to 12ft x 26ft. If you need different dimensions, made-to-measure options are available.
