🌞 Energy Guard 500M GeoBubble Solar Cover – 12ft x 24ft

The Ultimate Solution for Crystal-Clear, Algae-Free Pool Water with Maximum Heat Retention

If you’ve battled persistent algae growth while trying to maintain comfortable water temperatures, the Energy Guard 500M GeoBubble solar cover offers a breakthrough solution. This isn’t just another pool cover—it’s selective transmission technology that blocks algae-causing light wavelengths while allowing heat-generating UV rays to penetrate and warm your water.

The result? A cleaner, warmer pool that requires dramatically less maintenance and chemical intervention.

💰 Your Investment Pays for Itself

Real-World Savings for a 12ft x 24ft Pool:

Annual Water Savings:

• Prevents approximately 32,000 litres of water loss through evaporation*
• That’s equivalent to 400 bathtubs of water you won’t need to refill
• Reduces evaporation by up to 98% compared to an uncovered pool

Energy Cost Reduction:

• Cuts heating costs by up to 70%*
• When paired with a heat pump, saves up to 7,000 kWh annually
• Reduces heat loss by up to 75% overnight and on cloudy days

Chemical Savings:

• Reduces chemical consumption by up to 30%*
• Saves approximately 5kg of chlorine per year
• Fewer rebalancing sessions = less time and money spent on pool chemistry

Temperature Performance:

• Raises water temperature by up to 8°C in optimal conditions*
• Maintains comfortable swimming temperatures with minimal heating assistance

*Based on average 12ft x 24ft pool in typical UK climate conditions. Actual savings vary based on location, sun exposure, existing heating system, and usage patterns.

🎯 What Makes Energy Guard Different?

Patented Selective Transmission Technology

Unlike standard clear or blue solar covers, the Energy Guard features a dark, opaque coating engineered to:

✅ Block Light Spectrum That Feeds Algae – Reduces photosynthesis that allows algae to thrive
✅ Allow Heat-Generating UV Rays Through – Selectively transmits wavelengths that warm water
✅ Create Hostile Environment for Algae Growth – Drastically reduces need for algaecides and shock treatments

Premium GeoBubble Construction

The revolutionary GeoBubble design replaces traditional round bubbles with an interconnected geometric pattern:

🔥 Superior Heat Retention – Thicker material at stress points prevents premature failure
⚡ 25% Longer Lifespan – Outlasts standard bubble covers by a significant margin
💧 Enhanced Insulation – Air pockets trap heat more effectively than conventional designs
✓ 500M Thickness – Optimal balance of durability, heat transmission, and handling ease

🏊 Perfect For Pools That Struggle With:

• Persistent algae blooms despite regular treatment
• Rapid chemical depletion from debris and evaporation
• High heating costs to maintain comfortable temperatures
• Constant water top-ups due to evaporation
• Green water after just a few days of pool closure
• Excessive time spent on maintenance rather than swimming

📋 How It Works: The Science Behind Energy Guard

Step 1: Light Filtration

The dark coating acts as a selective filter, blocking the blue and green light wavelengths (400-500nm) that algae cells use for photosynthesis.

Step 2: Heat Transmission

UV and infrared wavelengths pass through the material, warming the water below while the GeoBubble air pockets trap this heat.

Step 3: Evaporation Prevention

The cover creates a physical barrier that prevents water molecules from escaping, retaining both water volume and dissolved chemicals.

Step 4: Insulation Layer

When temperatures drop (evenings, cloudy days), the air-filled bubbles act as insulation, preventing rapid heat loss to the atmosphere.

✅ Key Benefits at a Glance

🌡️ Temperature Management

• Raises pool temperature by several degrees in sunny conditions
• Prevents overnight heat loss
• Reduces reliance on expensive heating systems
• Creates comfortable swimming conditions earlier in the season

💚 Algae Prevention

• Starves algae of light needed for growth
• Dramatically reduces need for algaecides
• Keeps water clearer between uses
• Minimizes “green pool” episodes

💧 Water & Chemical Conservation

• Prevents up to 98% of evaporation
• Reduces chlorine loss from UV degradation
• Maintains chemical balance longer
• Decreases frequency of water top-ups

🛡️ Debris Protection

• Keeps leaves, insects, and dirt out of water
• Reduces filter workload and clogging
• Minimizes time spent skimming and vacuuming
• Protects water quality between swim sessions

💷 Cost Efficiency

• Lowers heating bills substantially
• Reduces water costs
• Cuts chemical consumption
• Extends lifespan of pool equipment through reduced strain

🔧 Installation & Usage Guidelines

Proper Installation

1. Orientation: Place cover with bubbles facing DOWN toward the water surface
2. Why: Air trapped in bubbles is heated by the sun; direct contact with water transfers heat efficiently
3. Securing: Ensure cover sits flat on water surface without gaps at edges
4. Roller Compatible: Can be used with manual or automatic roller systems for easy handling

Daily Use

• Safe to run pump/filter: Yes, properly secured cover won’t interfere with circulation
• Remove for swimming: Always take cover completely off before pool use
• Heating compatibility: Can remain on while heating system runs (actually improves efficiency)
• Sun exposure: Maximizes benefits when pool receives direct sunlight

Seasonal Storage

⚠️ Important: Not designed for winter use in UK climate

• Remove before temperatures consistently drop below 10°C
• Clean thoroughly and allow to dry completely
• Roll loosely to avoid creasing
• Store in cool, dry location away from direct sunlight
• Replace with purpose-made winter cover for cold months

🚫 Important Safety & Usage Disclaimers

Safety Considerations

❌ Not a safety cover – Cannot support weight of children, pets, or adults
❌ Not designed to prevent access – Consider perimeter fencing if safety is a concern
❌ Damage risk – Walking on cover will damage material and potentially harm individuals

Performance Variables

Results depend on multiple factors:

• Sun exposure: Hours of direct sunlight per day significantly impact heating
• Geographic location: UK climate provides moderate solar gains compared to southern climates
• Pool orientation: North-facing pools receive less direct sun than south-facing
• Surrounding shade: Trees, buildings, and structures reduce effectiveness
• Existing heating: Works best in conjunction with heat pump or solar heating system
• Chemical balance: Proper pH and chlorine levels extend cover lifespan
• Wind exposure: Windy locations increase evaporation when cover is removed

Realistic Expectations

✓ Will help heat your pool – In optimal conditions, several degrees of temperature increase
✓ Will not replace heating system – Acts as heat retention aid, not primary heat source
✓ Will reduce algae significantly – But proper chemical maintenance still required
✓ Will save money long-term – Initial investment recovers through reduced operating costs
