🏊 GeoBubble Royal Blue 600M Solar Cover (16ft x 38ft) – Premium Heat Retention for Your Pool

Transform Your Pool Running Costs with Britain’s Thickest Solar Cover

Exclusive 600 Micron GeoBubble Technology | Up to 75% Heat Loss Reduction | Made to Measure Quality

💰 The Numbers That Matter to Your Wallet

Imagine cutting your pool heating bills by up to 70% while saving over 32,000 litres of water annually. This isn’t marketing hype—it’s what happens when you pair Britain’s thickest solar bubble cover with your existing pool setup.

For a 16ft x 38ft pool, you could save:

• £400-700 annually in heating costs* when combined with a heat pump
• Up to 5kg of chlorine per year (worth £50-80)* through reduced evaporation
• 32,000+ litres of water (equivalent to 400 baths)*
• Up to 7,000 kWh of electricity annually when used with modern heat pumps*

*Based on typical outdoor pool usage (May-September), average UK energy rates, and standard chemical pricing. Individual savings vary depending on pool size, location, sun exposure, existing heating system, and usage patterns.

🔥 Why the 600M Royal Blue Stands Apart

The Thickest Solar Cover You Can Buy

At 600 microns thick, this GeoBubble cover is 50% thicker than standard 400M covers and 20% thicker than most premium 500M options. That extra thickness translates directly into:

✅ Superior heat retention – Keeps warmth locked in overnight and on cloudy days
✅ Extended lifespan – GeoBubble technology lasts 25% longer than traditional bubble covers
✅ Better durability – Resists tearing, chemical degradation, and UV damage
✅ Increased insulation – More air pockets means better thermal barrier performance

The Royal Blue Advantage

The royal blue tint offers the perfect balance between:

• Heat transmission – Allows beneficial UV rays through to warm your water (up to 8°C increase in optimal conditions)*
• UV protection – Filters harmful rays that degrade pool chemicals
• Algae prevention – Reduces light penetration that fuels algae growth
• Aesthetics – Professional appearance that complements any pool design

*Temperature increase depends on sun exposure hours, ambient temperature, pool size, and starting water temperature.

🌡️ How This Cover Pays for Itself

Scenario: Average UK Outdoor Pool (May-September Season)

Without a solar cover:

• Weekly heating: £25-40 (gas/heat pump)
• Weekly chemicals: £8-12
• Water top-ups: £5-8
• Total weekly cost: £38-60
• Season total: ~£800-1,200

With 600M GeoBubble Royal Blue cover:

• Weekly heating: £8-15 (70% reduction)
• Weekly chemicals: £6-9 (30% reduction)
• Water top-ups: £0.50-1 (95% reduction)
• Total weekly cost: £14.50-25
• Season total: ~£290-500

Potential annual savings: £500-700

Calculations based on 20-week swimming season, 4x8m pool, gas heating at £0.10/kWh or heat pump at £0.24/kWh, chlorine at £15/kg, and water rates at £3/m³. Your actual savings will vary based on pool size, heating method, local energy rates, weather conditions, and usage patterns.

Return on Investment Timeline

With typical savings of £500-600 annually, this premium cover could pay for itself within the first 1-2 seasons—then continue delivering savings year after year.

💧 Stop Throwing Money Into Thin Air (Literally)

Every day your pool sits uncovered, you’re losing:

❌ Up to 6mm of water depth to evaporation (in warm, windy conditions)
❌ The heat energy equivalent to running a 1kW heater for 24 hours
❌ 30% more chlorine than necessary to maintain water chemistry

This 600M cover reduces evaporation by up to 98%, which means:

✓ Stable water temperature overnight
✓ Consistent chemical levels
✓ Less frequent pool top-ups
✓ Fewer pump and filter hours needed

Evaporation rates vary with temperature, humidity, wind speed, and pool surface area. UK outdoor pools typically lose 25-40mm weekly when uncovered during summer months.

🎯 Perfect For These Pool Owners

✅ You Should Choose This 600M Cover If:

• Your pool is 16ft x 38ft (or close to these dimensions)
• You want the maximum heat retention available in a solar cover
• Your heating bills are higher than you’d like
• You’re frustrated with constant water top-ups
• You use a heat pump or solar heating system (this cover maximizes their efficiency)
• You want a cover that will last 4-6+ seasons with proper care
• Your pool is exposed to wind (thicker = less billowing)
• You prefer the professional look of royal blue

💡 Consider Alternatives If:

• Budget is priority: Our 400M Blue cover offers great value at lower cost
• Maximum solar heating wanted: Sol+Guard 500M translucent lets more UV through
• Algae is major concern: Energy Guard 500M dark coating blocks more light
• Different size needed: Use our solar cover calculator for bespoke sizing

🔬 Understanding GeoBubble Technology

Traditional bubble covers have a critical weakness: the connecting points between bubbles create thin “stress points” that tear easily.

GeoBubble™ solves this with:

🔹 Geometric cell design – No thin connecting points
🔹 Interconnected structure – Distributes stress evenly across the cover
🔹 Thicker material throughout – Consistent strength across entire surface
🔹 Enhanced UV stabilizers – Resists sun damage that causes brittleness

Result: Covers that last 25% longer than traditional designs, maintaining their heat retention properties season after season.

📏 Getting the Perfect Fit

This cover is manufactured to 16ft x 38ft dimensions, suitable for:

• Rectangular pools: 16ft x 38ft (internal water dimensions)
• Custom sizing available: Use our calculator for non-standard shapes

🎯 Measuring Your Pool

For accurate fit, measure the water surface from edge to edge (not the coping stones):

1. Length: Longest edge of water surface
2. Width: Shortest edge of water surface
3. Shape considerations: For irregular shapes, measure to cover the maximum water area

Pro Tip: Covers work best when they float directly on the water surface with minimal overhang (5-10cm beyond water’s edge is ideal).

🛠️ Installation & Daily Use

Installation (One-Time Setup)

1. Unroll your cover beside the pool
2. Place bubbles-side DOWN on the water surface (the smooth side faces up)
3. Trim if needed to fit your exact dimensions (cover can be cut with sharp scissors)
4. Optional: Install a roller system for easy removal (highly recommended for covers this size)

Daily Operation

Morning: Roll or pull cover off in 2-3 minutes (easier with two people or a roller)
Evening: Replace cover after final swim to lock in the day’s heat gains
Weekly: Rinse smooth surface to remove debris

Storage: During winter months, clean thoroughly, roll loosely, and store in a dry location away from direct sunlight.

⚠️ Important Safety Information

This is NOT a safety cover and cannot support the weight of children, pets, or adults.

• Never allow anyone to walk on this cover
• Cover can be damaged and person/animal can fall through into water
• Recommended: Install perimeter fencing if children or pets access the pool area
• If safety is your priority, consider our dedicated safety cover range

❓ Common Questions Answered

Will this heat my pool completely on its own?

No solar cover can replace a dedicated heating system entirely. However, the 600M Royal Blue will:

• Capture solar gains of up to 8°C in optimal conditions (strong sun, multiple hours exposure)
• Retain heat from your existing heating system (up to 75% less heat loss overnight)
• Reduce heating time by 40-60%, meaning lower running costs

Best practice: Use this cover alongside a heat pump or solar heater for consistently comfortable water temperatures.

Can I run my pump and filter with the cover on?

Yes, absolutely. When properly positioned, solar covers don’t interfere with circulation systems. Your pump will continue to filter and circulate water underneath the cover without issue.

How long will this 600M cover last?

With proper care:

• Expected lifespan: 4-6+ seasons (some users report 7-8 years)
• GeoBubble technology adds 25% longevity vs. traditional covers
• Store correctly during winter months
• Avoid chemical contact on the top surface
• Keep away from sharp objects

Do I need a roller for a 16ft x 38ft cover?

While not strictly necessary, a roller system is highly recommended for pools this size. A 16ft x 38ft cover becomes heavy when wet and awkward for one person to handle. Rollers make daily use effortless and extend cover life by preventing dragging damage.

What about windy conditions?

The 600M thickness provides excellent wind resistance compared to thinner covers. The extra weight helps it stay in place, and the geometric GeoBubble design prevents billowing. For very exposed sites, pool cover anchors or a roller with locking mechanism offer additional security.
