🔥 Why the 600M Royal Blue Outperforms Standard Covers

The GeoBubble Advantage

600 Microns of Protection This is the thickest solar bubble cover available in the UK market. That extra thickness delivers:

✅ Superior Heat Retention – 20-30% better than 400M covers
✅ Extended Lifespan – GeoBubble technology lasts 25% longer than traditional bubble designs
✅ Enhanced Durability – Resists UV degradation and chemical attack
✅ Improved Insulation – Larger air pockets trap more heat overnight

Royal Blue Technology The royal blue pigmentation provides an optimal balance:

• Allows beneficial UV rays to penetrate and naturally warm your water
• Blocks excessive light that promotes algae growth
• Maintains chemical stability better than clear covers
• More aesthetically pleasing than opaque alternatives

GeoBubble vs Traditional Bubble Covers

Feature	GeoBubble 600M	Standard Bubble Cover
Thickness	600 microns	300-400 microns
Expected Lifespan	5-7 years	3-4 years
Heat Retention	Excellent (75%)	Good (50-60%)
UV Resistance	Superior	Moderate
Chemical Resistance	Enhanced	Standard

🌡️ How Solar Covers Work

Think of it as a greenhouse for your pool:

1. Solar Gain – The royal blue material allows UV rays to pass through, warming the water by up to 8°C in ideal conditions
2. Heat Trapping – Thousands of air-filled bubbles act as insulation pockets, preventing heat from escaping overnight
3. Evaporation Prevention – Creates a physical barrier that stops 98% of water evaporation (the primary cause of heat loss)
4. Chemical Protection – Shields chlorine from UV degradation and prevents it from evaporating with water vapor

Installation Note: Always install with bubbles facing DOWN into the water. This ensures maximum heat transfer from the air pockets directly into your pool.

✅ Perfect For

🏡 Outdoor residential pools seeking maximum heat retention
☀️ Sun-exposed pools wanting natural temperature increases
💷 Cost-conscious owners prioritizing long-term savings
🌿 Pools with moderate algae concerns (blue blocks excess light)
🔧 Manual or roller systems – lightweight yet robust at 600M

❌ Not Recommended For

⚠️ Safety applications – This cover cannot support weight of children or pets (consider a safety cover instead)

📋 Important Disclaimers & Assumptions

*Savings Calculations Based On:

• Pool Size: Average 4m x 8m (32 m² surface area) – this 14ft x 28ft cover is slightly larger at 36.5 m²
• Season Length: 150 days (May-September)
• Target Temperature: 28°C maintained
• Heating Method: Gas boiler or heat pump
• Energy Rates: £0.27/kWh electricity or £0.10/kWh gas equivalent (UK average as of 2024)
• Climate: Southern England average – 6 hours daily sunlight during season
• Cover Usage: Applied 18-20 hours daily when pool not in use

Factors That Affect Your Results:

Higher Savings May Occur If:

• Your pool is in a windy location (more evaporation prevented)
• You live in a warmer, sunnier region
• Your current energy costs are higher
• You maintain higher pool temperatures (29-30°C)

Lower Savings May Occur If:

• Your pool is heavily shaded
• You experience particularly cold, cloudy summers
• Your pool is smaller than average
• You use the pool intensively (cover off most of the day)

Performance Variables:

• Solar heating gains (up to 8°C) require consistent direct sunlight – expect 2-5°C in typical UK conditions
• Heat retention effectiveness depends on overnight temperatures and wind exposure
• Chemical savings vary with bather load, rainfall, and starting water quality
• Water savings assume standard evaporation rates; windy, hot conditions increase benefits

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the pool pump with the cover on?
Yes! The cover won’t affect water circulation. Ensure it’s properly secured so it doesn’t obstruct skimmers or equipment.

Do I still need to heat my pool with this cover?
For comfortable swimming, yes. The cover provides solar gains and excellent heat retention, but you’ll still need a primary heat source (heat pump, gas boiler, or solar heating system). The cover makes your heating system far more efficient.

How long will this cover last?
GeoBubble 600M covers typically last 5-7 years with proper care – 25% longer than standard bubble covers. Store out of direct sunlight during winter months to maximize lifespan.

Is this a safety cover?
No. This cover cannot support weight and is not designed for safety. It’s a thermal and protective cover. If safety is a concern, consider our dedicated safety cover range.

What if my pool isn’t exactly 14ft x 28ft?
Use our solar cover calculator for precise measurements. We offer made-to-measure covers for non-standard sizes at no extra cost for minor variations.

Will this stop algae growth?
The royal blue pigmentation reduces light penetration, helping control algae compared to clear covers. For severe algae problems, consider the Energy Guard 500M with dark coating.

Can I leave it on all year?
No. Solar covers are designed for swimming season (May-September in UK). Swap for a dedicated winter cover during colder months to prevent damage from frost and harsh weather.
