🌞 Energy Guard 500M GeoBubble Solar Cover – 15ft x 30ft
The Smart Solution for Pools Battling Algae Growth
Tired of constantly fighting algae blooms in your pool? The Energy Guard 500M GeoBubble Solar Cover uses revolutionary selective transmission technology that blocks algae-causing light wavelengths while still allowing beneficial UV rays through to heat your water.
This isn’t just another pool cover—it’s a dual-action system that tackles two problems at once: preventing algae growth AND reducing your heating costs by up to 70%*.
🎯 Perfect For:
✅ Pools in shaded or partially shaded areas
✅ Pools prone to algae problems
✅ Owners wanting to reduce chemical usage
✅ Anyone seeking both heat retention AND algae prevention
✅ Pools with limited direct sunlight exposure
💰 The Real Cost Savings
Here’s what an Energy Guard cover could save you annually on a standard 15ft x 30ft pool:
| Saving Category | Annual Reduction | Real-World Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Heating Costs | Up to 70%* | Save up to £400-600 per season* |
| Chemical Usage | Up to 30%* | Approximately 5kg less chlorine needed* |
| Water Loss | Up to 98%* | Save ~32,000 litres (400 baths worth)* |
| Evaporation | 90-98%* | Dramatically reduced refilling costs |
| Algaecide Treatments | Significant reduction | Fewer shock treatments needed |
Combined annual savings: £500-800+ depending on your current pool running costs*
🔬 How Energy Guard Technology Works
The Science Behind Selective Transmission
The dark opaque coating on the Energy Guard cover is specifically engineered to:
- Block Light Wavelengths that promote algae photosynthesis and growth
- Allow UV Rays Through that heat your pool water effectively
- Trap Heat using 500-micron thick GeoBubble technology
- Create a Barrier preventing debris, contaminants, and spores from entering
GeoBubble Technology Advantage
Unlike traditional bubble covers, GeoBubble design:
- Lasts 25% longer than standard bubble covers
- Features a scientifically-designed bubble shape that resists stress and degradation
- Maintains structural integrity through UV exposure and chemical contact
- Provides superior insulation with interconnected air pockets

✨ Key Benefits
🛡️ Superior Algae Prevention
The selective transmission coating blocks the light spectrum algae needs to thrive, dramatically reducing green pool incidents and the need for aggressive chemical treatments.
🔥 Exceptional Heat Retention
500M thickness provides excellent insulation, keeping your pool warmer for longer and reducing strain on your heating system.
💧 Massive Water Savings
Prevent up to 32,000 litres of water from evaporating each year—that’s equivalent to 400 baths or roughly £80-120 in water costs*.
⚗️ Reduced Chemical Consumption
Save up to 5kg of chlorine annually while maintaining better water balance. Less evaporation means chemicals stay in the water where they belong.
🍃 Debris Protection
Keep leaves, insects, bird droppings, and other contaminants out of your pool, reducing cleaning time and filter strain.
⚡ Lower Energy Bills
Combined with a modern heat pump, you could save up to 7,000 kWh of electricity per year—that’s roughly £1,400-2,100 at current UK energy rates*.
🏊 Ideal Pool Scenarios
This cover excels in:
Shaded Pools – Where limited sunlight makes algae control challenging while still needing heat retention
High Tree Coverage Areas – Where organic debris constantly falls into the pool
Humid Climates – Where warm, moist conditions promote rapid algae growth
Chemical-Sensitive Users – Who want to minimize chemical usage for health or environmental reasons
Cost-Conscious Owners – Seeking maximum savings on both heating AND chemical costs

🤔 Common Questions
Q: Will this completely prevent algae?
A: While no cover eliminates algae 100%, Energy Guard dramatically reduces algae growth by blocking the light wavelengths algae needs for photosynthesis. Most users see a significant decrease in algae problems and chemical treatments needed.
Q: Does it still heat the pool if it blocks light?
A: Yes! The selective transmission technology blocks visible light that promotes algae while allowing infrared and UV rays through to heat the water. You get heating benefits WITHOUT algae issues.
Q: Can I leave it on while the pump runs?
A: Absolutely. A properly secured Energy Guard cover won’t interfere with your pool’s circulation system.
Q: How much weight can it support?
A: This is NOT a safety cover. It cannot support the weight of children or animals. If safety is a concern, consider installing a perimeter fence or upgrading to a dedicated safety cover.
Q: Will it fit my 15ft x 30ft pool exactly?
A: This cover is made-to-order for 15ft x 30ft pools. Minor trimming may be needed for perfect fit. We also offer bespoke sizing through our solar cover calculator.
Q: How long will it last?
A: With proper care and seasonal storage, expect 4-6 years of effective use. GeoBubble technology extends lifespan by 25% compared to standard bubble covers.

⚠️ Important Information
Not a Safety Cover
Energy Guard covers are designed for heat retention, energy savings, and algae prevention. They cannot support the weight of people or animals. Never allow anyone to walk on the cover. Consider a perimeter fence if safety is a concern, or upgrade to a dedicated safety cover.
Seasonal Use
Solar covers are designed for swimming season use (typically April-September in the UK). When closing your pool for winter, remove and store the Energy Guard cover and replace with a purpose-made winter cover for optimal protection during harsh weather.
Proper Storage Extends Life
Store your cover in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight during off-season months. Clean and dry before storage to prevent mold or damage.
📈 Maximize Your Investment
Combine with:
- Pool Heat Pump – Reduce energy consumption by up to 70% while maintaining perfect temperature
- Solar Pool Heater – Add additional eco-friendly heating for maximum efficiency
- Pool Roller System – Make covering and uncovering effortless (especially important for this size)
- Water Chemistry Testing Kit – Monitor reduced chemical needs and adjust accordingly
💡 Pro Tips for Energy Guard Users
- Remove debris from cover surface before removing it to prevent contaminants falling in
- Use a cover pump to remove standing water after rainfall (prevents damage)
- Trim carefully if needed—measure twice, cut once for perfect fit
- Check bubble integrity monthly and address any damage promptly
- Track your savings for the first season to see real-world cost reductions
- Adjust chemical dosing downward as evaporation decreases
- Consider a roller for pools this size—manual handling can be challenging
