🔥 Why 600 Microns Changes Everything

The Thickness Advantage That Actually Matters

Most UK solar covers range from 400-500 microns. The 600M Gold GeoBubble represents a 50% thickness increase over budget 400M covers – and that difference is where the magic happens:

Heat Retention Comparison:

• ❌ 400M covers: Basic insulation, heat loss resumes quickly after sunset
• ✓ 500M covers: Good overnight retention for mild UK nights
• ✅ 600M Gold covers: 30-40% superior heat retention – keeps your pool warmer longer, even through cool British summer nights

What This Means in Practice:

• Extended swimming season: Start 2-3 weeks earlier in spring, finish 2-3 weeks later in autumn
• Consistent temperatures: Wake up to a pool that’s lost minimal heat overnight
• Less heating required: Your heat pump or boiler runs 40-50% less often
• Cooler days? No problem: Superior insulation maintains temperature even when sun isn’t shining

• Thousands of interconnected air chambers trap heat like a greenhouse
• Scientifically designed to resist stress points that cause premature failure

2. Aluminium Metalised Underside

• Reflects heat back down into the water (prevents upward radiation loss)
• Creates a radiant barrier between your pool and the cool British air
• Gold-tinted coating maximises reflectivity while allowing beneficial UV transmission

Technical Specifications:

• Thickness: 600 microns (0.6mm) – thickest residential cover available
• Weight: 0.60kg per square metre
• Colour: Blue topside / Gold metallic underside
• UV Resistance: Built to withstand British summer sun exposure
• Chemical Resistance: Engineered for UK chlorine/bromine water chemistry
• Temperature Capability: Optimal performance up to 29°C water temperature

🛡️ GeoBubble Technology: Why It Matters

Not All “Bubble Covers” Are Created Equal

Traditional round bubble covers have a fatal flaw: stress concentration points where bubbles join. This is where tears and failures begin. GeoBubble technology eliminates this problem.

The GeoBubble Advantage:

• Patented two-bubble geometry: Smoothly interconnected chambers with no stress points
• 25% longer lifespan: Proven in independent testing vs. traditional designs
• Superior UV resistance: Thicker material resists degradation from British summer sun
• Enhanced flexibility: Maintains performance through temperature fluctuations
• Reduced warping: More stable shape retention over years of use

What This Means for You:

• ✓ Your cover lasts through 5+ British summers instead of needing replacement after 3
• ✓ Consistent performance throughout its life (doesn’t degrade rapidly like cheaper covers)
• ✓ Better value per season of use
• ✓ Less hassle – one purchase protects your investment for years

🎯 Perfect For: 4ft Roman End Pool Configurations

Custom-Shaped for Your Pool’s Unique Design

This specific cover is manufactured for pools with a 4ft Roman end piece – the elegant curved “steps” design popular in UK residential installations.

What You’re Getting:

• ✓ Made-to-order in the UK by Britain’s leading pool cover manufacturer
• ✓ Oversized delivery – arrives larger than specified to ensure complete coverage
• ✓ Easy trimming – rectangle shape allows you to cut perfect fit for your Roman end
• ✓ Professional quality – same covers used by commercial pool installers
• ✓ Free Solar Protector Sheet – protects your cover when off the pool

Why Proper Fit Matters: A correctly fitted cover maximises heat retention and evaporation prevention. Gaps at the edges allow heat to escape and water to evaporate. The 600M’s heavier weight (0.60kg/m²) means it sits flatter and seals better than lightweight alternatives – crucial for irregular shapes like Roman ends.

Important: Due to the weight and thickness of 600M covers, we strongly recommend using a heavy-duty roller system. Standard rollers designed for 400M covers may struggle with the additional material weight.

💡 How to Maximise Your Savings

Getting the Most from Your 600M GeoBubble Gold

Installation Best Practices:

1. Bubbles face DOWN – Air pockets must contact water to transfer heat efficiently
2. Full coverage – Trim for edge-to-edge fit, leaving no gaps for heat escape
3. Use a roller – Heavy-duty system required for 600M thickness (0.60kg/m²)
4. Secure properly – British winds can catch loose covers; ensure firm attachment

Daily Use Strategy:

• 🌅 Remove during daytime heating – Allows maximum solar gain into water (cover can trap some heat in surface layer)
• 🌙 Replace IMMEDIATELY after swimming – Every hour uncovered loses significant heat in UK climate
• ☀️ Keep on during sunny non-use periods – Cover adds 3-8°C heating boost while preventing evaporation
• 💨 Always cover overnight – This is when 75% of heat loss prevention happens

Seasonal Optimization:

• April-May: Use cover 24/7 to rapidly heat pool at season start (speeds heating by 2-3 weeks)
• June-August: Remove during day if actively swimming, replace immediately after
• September: Back to 24/7 coverage to extend season by 2-3 weeks
• October-March: Switch to dedicated winter cover; store solar cover in dry location

Maintenance for Longevity:

• ✓ Rinse with fresh water weekly to remove chemical residue
• ✓ Use provided Solar Protector Sheet when cover is off pool
• ✓ NEVER shock-treat pool with cover on – High chlorine concentration will degrade material and void warranty
• ✓ Monitor water temperature – warranty void if pool exceeds 29°C
• ✓ Store properly in winter – dry location away from UV exposure

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

About the 600M GeoBubble Gold

Q: Is the extra cost of 600M vs 500M worth it? A: For most UK pool owners, absolutely. The 600M typically saves an additional £100-150 annually in heating costs compared to 500M covers. Over a 5-year lifespan, that’s £500-750 in extra savings, plus the longer warranty and lifespan mean better value per season of use.

Q: Will this cover heat my pool on its own? A: The 600M excels at heat retention rather than generation. In optimal British summer conditions, it can add 3-8°C through passive solar gain, but you’ll still need a heat pump or boiler as your primary heat source. The cover makes your heating system dramatically more efficient (40-70% cost reduction).

Q: How long will a 600M cover last? A: With proper care, expect 5-7 British summers. The 600M’s superior thickness and GeoBubble technology make it significantly more durable than 400-500M alternatives. Includes 5-year pro-rata warranty (vs. 3 years for thinner covers).

Q: Can I use my existing roller? A: Important: The 600M weighs 0.60kg/m² – 50% heavier than 400M covers. Standard lightweight rollers may struggle or break under this load. We strongly recommend upgrading to a heavy-duty roller system designed for 600M covers. Roller systems are available separately.

Q: Why is it blue on top and gold underneath? A: The blue topside provides UV protection and aesthetic appeal. The gold aluminium underside is the real innovation – it reflects heat back down into the water instead of allowing it to radiate upward into the cooler British air. This dual-layer approach maximizes heat retention.

Q: How do I trim it for my Roman end? A: The cover arrives oversized as a rectangle. Lay it over your pool, mark the Roman end curve, and trim with sharp scissors or a craft knife. Cut conservatively – you can always trim more, but you can’t add material back. The goal is edge-to-edge coverage with minimal gaps.

Q: What happens if it arrives damaged? A: CRITICAL: Inspect the packaging thoroughly BEFORE signing for delivery. Once signed, the carrier won’t accept damage claims. If you see any damage to the bags, note it on the delivery documentation or refuse the delivery. Contact us immediately for replacement.

Q: Can I leave it on while my pump runs? A: Yes! A properly secured 600M cover won’t affect pump circulation. In fact, it’s beneficial – filtered water returns warmer under the insulated cover. Just ensure the cover doesn’t block skimmers or return jets.

Q: Do I need the Solar Protector Sheet? A: Highly recommended. When your cover is off the pool (stored on roller or aside), the Protector Sheet shields it from UV degradation. This significantly extends lifespan – think of it as sunscreen for your cover. Included free with every purchase.

Q: What about warranty claims? A: The 5-year pro-rata warranty covers manufacturing defects and normal wear. It’s VOID if:

• Pool temperature exceeds 29°C
• SPATA chemical standards not maintained (pH 7.2-7.8, chlorine 1-3ppm)
• Shock treatment performed with cover on pool
• TDS (total dissolved solids) levels excessive

Maintain proper water chemistry and follow use guidelines to keep your warranty valid.
