🏆 Why RaeGuard 500M Is Different From Standard Solar Covers

Most pool covers fall into two categories: cheap solar covers that heat water but don’t retain it effectively, or expensive foam covers that work brilliantly but cost £1,500-3,000+.

RaeGuard 500M delivers 90% of foam cover performance at a fraction of the cost.

The RaeGuard Triple-Action Heat Retention System:

1️⃣ REFLECT – Advanced Thermal Barrier

The specially selected silver top layer and white bubble pigments are engineered to reflect and scatter radiative heat, maximizing reflection in the critical mid-infrared region where heat loss occurs.

Result: Up to 57% reduction in heat loss compared to uncovered pools*

2️⃣ INSULATE – GeoBubble Air Cell Technology

The unique GeoBubble™ air cell design (patented technology) creates a substantial barrier layer that prevents thermal energy transfer away from your pool surface.

Result: 8+ year lifespan (25% longer than standard bubble covers), superior durability*

3️⃣ ELIMINATE – Evaporation Control

When covered with RaeGuard, your pool water retains thermal energy instead of using it to evaporate. 98% evaporation elimination means your heat stays in the water where it belongs.

Result: 42,000 litres of water saved annually for this pool size (equivalent to 525 baths)*

🔬 The Science Behind the Savings

How RaeGuard Works:

Standard Solar Covers use bubble wrap-style air pockets and focus on transmitting UV rays to heat water. They provide basic insulation but limited heat retention.

Foam Covers excel at heat retention through dense insulation but are heavy, expensive (£1,500-3,000+), and require storage space.

RaeGuard combines the best of both worlds:

1. Specialized Pigment Technology: Silver top layer + white bubbles reflect mid-infrared radiation (where most heat loss occurs)
2. GeoBubble Air Cells: Patented bubble design lasts 25% longer than standard covers while providing superior insulation
3. Optimized Thickness: 500 microns (0.5mm) balances heat retention with lightweight handling

Why 500M Thickness Matters:

• 400M covers: Budget-friendly but offer 20-30% less heat retention
• 500M covers (RaeGuard): Sweet spot for performance vs. weight/cost
• 600M covers: Maximum retention but heavier, more expensive, and unnecessary for most applications when using RaeGuard’s reflective technology

RaeGuard’s 500M thickness with reflective technology outperforms standard 600M covers in heat retention while remaining easier to handle.

🛡️ GeoBubble Technology: Why It Matters

Standard bubble covers use circular or diamond-shaped bubbles that stress and fail at weak points. GeoBubble uses a patented interconnected shape that:

1. Eliminates stress points – No thin spots where bubbles join
2. Resists UV degradation – Lasts 25% longer than standard designs
3. Maintains insulation properties – Air cells don’t collapse or flatten
4. Withstands chemical exposure – Superior resistance to chlorine and pH fluctuations

Expected Lifespan:

• Standard bubble cover: 3-5 years
• RaeGuard 500M with GeoBubble: 8+ years
• Backed by 6-year pro-rata warranty

Long-term value: Even if RaeGuard costs slightly more upfront, the extended lifespan means lower cost per year of use compared to replacing cheap covers every 3-4 years.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How is RaeGuard different from standard solar covers?

A: Standard solar covers focus on heating water through UV transmission. RaeGuard focuses on retaining heat through reflection and insulation. If your pool gets limited sun or you rely on a heat pump/gas heater, RaeGuard is far more effective because it preserves the heat your system creates rather than trying to generate heat from sunlight.

Think of it this way: Solar covers are like wearing a black t-shirt in the sun (absorbs heat). RaeGuard is like wearing a silver reflective jacket (keeps heat in, reflects losses away).

---

Q: Will this work on my outdoor pool?

A: Absolutely! While RaeGuard excels in indoor environments, it’s equally effective outdoors. It’s particularly ideal for:

• Pools with limited direct sunlight
• Pools that rely on heat pumps or gas heaters
• Pools used year-round (not just summer)
• Pools where heat retention matters more than solar gain

---

Q: Can I use this in winter?

A: RaeGuard can be used year-round on actively maintained pools. However, if you’re closing your pool for winter, we recommend switching to a purpose-made winter cover designed for debris protection and weather resistance. Store your RaeGuard properly during winter closure, and it’ll be ready for immediate use when you reopen in spring.

---

Q: How much does it weigh? Is it easy to handle?

A: The 500M RaeGuard cover is lightweight and easy to handle, especially compared to foam covers. For a 15ft x 30ft size, expect approximately 15-20kg. Most pool owners use a roller system for effortless removal and replacement. The cover can be handled by one person with a roller, or two people without.

---

Q: Does this heat the water like other solar covers?

A: No, and that’s actually the point. RaeGuard is a heat retention cover, not a solar heating cover. It’s designed to:

• Preserve heat your existing system creates (heat pump, gas heater, solar panels)
• Reduce heat loss by up to 57%
• Eliminate evaporative cooling (98% evaporation control)

If your priority is actively heating cold water using the sun’s energy, consider Sol+Guard 500M instead. If your priority is maintaining temperature and reducing heating costs, RaeGuard is superior.

---

Q: Will it work with my pool roller/reel system?

A: Yes! RaeGuard is compatible with standard roller systems. The lightweight 500M material makes manual rolling easy. If you don’t have a roller yet, we strongly recommend investing in one – it transforms cover removal/replacement from a 10-minute task into a 60-second task.

---

Q: How long until I see savings?

A: Immediately. From the first day you cover your pool with RaeGuard:

• Heat loss reduces by up to 57%
• Evaporation stops almost entirely (98% reduction)
• Your heating system runs less frequently
• Chemical consumption decreases

Most customers report noticeable reduction in heating runtime within the first week, with measurable cost savings appearing on monthly energy bills.

---

Q: What about debris protection?

A: RaeGuard provides excellent debris protection – leaves, insects, dirt, and bird droppings stay on top of the cover rather than falling into your pool. This means:

• Less time cleaning/skimming
• Reduced chlorine consumption (organic debris uses up chlorine)
• Cleaner water when you’re ready to swim
• Less strain on your filtration system

---

Q: Can I run my pump/filter with the cover on?

A: Yes! You should absolutely continue running your filtration system with RaeGuard in place. The cover doesn’t interfere with water circulation underneath. Just ensure the cover is properly secured so it doesn’t get pulled into skimmers or returns.

---

Q: What if my pool isn’t exactly 15ft x 30ft?

A: This cover is made-to-measure for 15ft x 30ft pools. If your pool dimensions are slightly different, Parts4Tubs offers custom sizing for most cover types. Contact their team with your exact measurements for a bespoke quote.

Pro tip: Covers should slightly overlap your pool edges for complete coverage. Measure your pool’s water surface dimensions when determining size.

---

Q: Is the 6-year warranty really pro-rata? What does that cover?

A: Yes, RaeGuard comes with a 6-year pro-rata material warranty covering:

• Manufacturing defects
• Premature UV degradation
• Material delamination or separation

“Pro-rata” means warranty coverage decreases proportionally over time (e.g., 50% coverage at 3 years). This is standard for pool covers due to varying environmental conditions and maintenance practices. Proper storage and handling significantly extends actual lifespan beyond warranty period.

---

Q: How do I store it when not in use?

A: RaeGuard should be stored:

• Clean and dry – Rinse off chemicals/debris, allow to dry completely
• Rolled or folded loosely – Don’t compress tightly
• Out of direct sunlight – UV exposure when not on water degrades material
• In a cool, dry location – Avoid extreme temperatures

Proper storage ensures your cover reaches its full 8+ year lifespan. Many customers keep covers on roller systems year-round for convenience.
