🌞 Energy Guard 500M GeoBubble Solar Cover – 13ft x 27ft 🏊‍♂️

The Smart Solution for Crystal-Clear, Algae-Free Pool Water

Stop battling algae while keeping your pool perfectly warm. The Energy Guard 500M GeoBubble solar cover combines advanced selective transmission technology with superior heat retention—blocking the light that fuels algae growth while allowing heat-generating UV rays to penetrate and warm your water.

💰 Your Annual Savings Breakdown*

When you invest in an Energy Guard cover for your 13ft x 27ft pool, here’s what you could save each season:

Savings Category	Annual Benefit	Real-World Impact
Heating Costs	Up to 70% reduction	£400-700 saved on energy bills*
Water Loss	~25,000 litres prevented	Equivalent to 300+ baths you won’t need to refill
Chemical Usage	30% less chlorine needed	Save ~4-5kg of chlorine per year
Electricity	Up to 5,500 kWh saved	When paired with a heat pump system*
Cleaning Time	60-80% less debris	Hours saved each month on maintenance

Total Estimated Savings: £500-900 per year*

🎯 Why Energy Guard is Different

The Algae-Fighting Advantage

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

✅ Block algae-promoting light wavelengths – Stops photosynthesis that feeds algae growth
✅ Allow heat-generating UV rays through – Keeps your water warm without the green tint
✅ Reduce chemical shock treatments – Fewer algae blooms mean less emergency chlorination
✅ Maintain water clarity – Enjoy sparkling pool water all season long

Perfect for pools that struggle with algae, especially those in shaded areas, surrounded by trees, or in humid climates where algae thrives.

🔥 Advanced GeoBubble Technology

What Makes GeoBubble Superior?

The patented GeoBubble design isn’t your typical bubble wrap cover—it’s engineered for performance:

25% Longer Lifespan – Interconnected bubble structure resists tearing and degradation
500 Micron Thickness – Optimal balance of durability and heat transmission
Enhanced Insulation – Air pockets trap heat like a greenhouse over your pool
UV & Chemical Resistant – Withstands harsh sun exposure and chlorine contact

How It Works

1. Dark coating blocks visible light → Algae can’t photosynthesize
2. Selective transmission allows UV rays → Water heats naturally by up to 8°C*
3. Bubble structure traps heat → Prevents up to 98% of evaporative heat loss
4. Sealed air pockets insulate → Keeps warmth in overnight and on cloudy days

🏆 Who Should Choose Energy Guard?

✅ This Cover is PERFECT for You If:

• Your pool develops algae quickly, especially in spring/autumn
• You’re tired of constant algae treatments and green water
• Your pool is partially shaded or surrounded by vegetation
• You want heat retention WITHOUT encouraging algae growth
• You’re looking for a low-maintenance solution
• You have an outdoor pool used during the swimming season

❌ Consider Alternatives If:

• Maximum solar heating is your priority → Try the Sol+Guard 500M (translucent for better UV transmission)
• You need year-round coverage → You’ll need a winter cover for cold months
• Safety is your main concern → Solar covers don’t support weight; consider a safety cover
• You have an indoor pool → Foam covers are specifically designed for indoor environments
