🌞 Energy Guard 500M GeoBubble Solar Cover (14ft x 30ft) – The Algae-Fighting Heat Champion

Stop Algae Before It Starts While Keeping Your Pool Warmer for Less

The Smart Choice for Pool Owners Fighting the Green Battle

If you’ve ever struggled with algae growth in your pool, you know the frustration: constant chemical additions, scrubbing sessions, and that sinking feeling when you see your crystal-clear water turning cloudy. The Energy Guard 500M GeoBubble Solar Cover isn’t just another pool cover—it’s your front-line defense against algae, while simultaneously slashing your heating costs.

💰 The Real Cost of NOT Having the Right Cover

Let’s talk numbers that matter to your wallet:

Without a Quality Solar Cover:

• 💸 Up to 32,000 litres of water lost annually to evaporation (that’s roughly 400 baths worth!)
• 🔥 70% higher heating costs from constant heat loss
• 💊 30% more chemicals needed (approximately 5kg extra chlorine per year)
• ⚡ Up to 7,000 kWh wasted electricity fighting to maintain temperature
• 🧹 Endless hours cleaning debris and battling algae blooms

With the Energy Guard 500M GeoBubble: All of those problems dramatically reduced—and your pool stays algae-free.

🛡️ What Makes Energy Guard Different? The Selective Transmission Advantage

This isn’t your standard solar cover. The Energy Guard features innovative selective transmission technology with a dark, opaque coating that:

✅ Blocks light wavelengths that fuel algae growth – Starves algae before it can establish
✅ Allows beneficial UV rays through to heat your water – You get warmth without the green
✅ Reduces chemical warfare – Less algae = less chlorine shock treatments
✅ Keeps water crystal clear longer – Enjoy your pool instead of maintaining it

How It Works

The secret is in the science. Algae thrives on specific light wavelengths. Standard clear covers let everything through—including the light algae loves. The Energy Guard’s dark coating acts as a selective filter:

• Blocks algae-promoting light ❌ Green/blue spectrum filtered out
• Transmits heat-generating UV rays ✅ Infrared radiation passes through
• Maintains temperature 🌡️ Can raise water temp by up to 8°C in optimal conditions

🔥 Serious Heat Retention with GeoBubble Technology

Why GeoBubble Outperforms Standard Bubble Covers

The Energy Guard features patented GeoBubble technology—the most advanced bubble design in the industry:

Traditional Bubble Covers: Round bubbles that stress and tear easily
GeoBubble Design: Scientifically engineered shape with:

• Two joined bubble chambers for enhanced strength
• Smooth, waistline connecting the bubbles to reduce stress points
• 25% longer lifespan than conventional bubble covers
• Superior UV and chemical resistance

Your 500M Thickness Advantage

At 500 microns thick, this cover strikes the perfect balance:

Thickness	Heat Retention	UV Transmission	Best For
400M	Good	Excellent	Budget-conscious, above-ground pools
500M	Excellent	Very Good	Optimal balance, algae control
600M	Outstanding	Good	Maximum heat retention

The 500M thickness provides excellent insulation while still allowing beneficial UV rays to penetrate and warm your water.

✅ Run pump with cover on – Perfectly safe and maintains circulation
✅ Remove debris regularly – Brush off leaves/dirt to maintain effectiveness
✅ Store properly in winter – Roll up, clean, and store indoors during cold months
✅ Replace with winter cover – Use dedicated winter cover for off-season protection

Maximizing Heat Gain

🌞 Morning sun is gold – Cover pool overnight, remove in morning to capture solar gains
🌡️ Pair with heat pump – Creates incredibly efficient heating system
⏰ Cover immediately after heating – Lock in warmth from your heating system

❓ Common Questions Answered

Q: Will this completely eliminate algae?
A: While the Energy Guard dramatically reduces algae growth by blocking light it needs, you’ll still need basic pool chemistry maintenance. However, most customers report significantly fewer algae issues and chemical treatments.

Q: Can I see through this cover?
A: No—the dark coating makes it opaque. This is intentional for algae control. If you want maximum transparency for heating, consider the Sol+Guard. If you want maximum heat retention, consider the Gold covers.

Q: How long does it take to heat my pool?
A: In optimal conditions (sunny days, 6+ hours sun exposure), you can see 1-2°C increase per day. Remember, solar covers are best used WITH a heating system for reliable temperatures.

Q: Will it work with my pool roller?
A: Yes! The 500M thickness works excellently with standard pool roller systems. A roller is highly recommended for a 14ft x 30ft cover.

Q: Is this a safety cover?
A: No. Solar covers are NOT designed to support weight of children or animals. If safety is a concern, consider a dedicated safety cover or perimeter fencing.

Q: Can I use it year-round?
A: No. Solar covers are designed for swimming season (spring-autumn). Switch to a dedicated winter cover when closing your pool.
