🔥 Performance That Speaks for Itself
The 600M Difference
Think all pool covers are the same? Think again.
The 600-micron thickness isn’t just a number—it’s the difference between a cover that barely keeps leaves out and one that transforms your pool into a heat-trapping powerhouse.
What 600M Actually Means:
- 50% thicker than budget 400M covers
- 2x the heat retention of standard bubble covers
- 25% longer lifespan than traditional solar covers (thanks to GeoBubble technology)
- Superior resistance to UV damage and chemical degradation
Royal Blue: The Smart Color Choice
Not all colors perform equally. Here’s why Royal Blue delivers the best balance:
✅ Optimized Light Transmission – Allows beneficial UV rays through to heat water naturally
✅ Algae Growth Prevention – Dark enough to block algae-promoting light wavelengths
✅ Maximum Heat Absorption – Captures solar energy more effectively than clear covers
✅ UV Protection Balance – Shields pool chemicals without blocking heat transfer
Clear covers heat faster but degrade chemicals quickly.
Opaque covers block algae but limit solar heating.
Royal Blue gives you the best of both worlds.
🌡️ How Much Warmer Will Your Pool Actually Get?
Real Temperature Performance:
Without a cover:
- Overnight heat loss: 3-5°C
- Weekly evaporation: 1-2 inches of water
- Constant reheating required
With Royal Blue 600M GeoBubble:
- Heat loss reduced by up to 75%
- Water temperature increase: up to 8°C in optimal conditions
- Maintains temperature within 1-2°C of thermostat setting overnight
- Extends swimming season by 4-6 weeks (spring and autumn)
Translation: Your pool stays at the perfect temperature with far less energy input—or heats naturally with no heating system at all during summer months.
💧 The Hidden Cost of Evaporation (And How This Stops It)
The Problem Most Pool Owners Don’t Realize They Have:
An uncovered 18ft x 36ft pool loses approximately 32,000 litres of water per year through evaporation alone.
That’s:
- 400 bathtubs worth of water
- £80-120 in water costs
- £600-900 in heating energy (to heat replacement water)
- 5kg of chlorine evaporated into the air
Every. Single. Year.
The Royal Blue Solution:
Eliminates 98%+ of evaporation, which means:
- ✅ Water stays in your pool, not in the atmosphere
- ✅ Heat stays trapped where you want it
- ✅ Chemicals remain effective longer
- ✅ Less frequent water top-ups and rebalancing
🛡️ GeoBubble™ Technology: Why This Isn’t Just Bubble Wrap
The Science Behind Superior Performance
Traditional bubble covers fail at the seams—literally. Standard air pockets are structurally weak at stress points, leading to rapid degradation.
GeoBubble Technology solves this with:
1. Interconnected Bubble Design
- Two-thirds of material thickness in the bubble itself
- No thin stress points where bubbles connect
- Distributes pressure evenly across the entire surface
2. Enhanced Oxidation Resistance
- Thicker material = slower chemical breakdown
- Resists chlorine attack better than standard covers
- UV-stabilized material throughout
3. Proven Longevity
- 25% longer lifespan than conventional bubble covers
- Maintains flexibility and heat retention properties for years
- Suitable for commercial applications (schools, community pools)
What this means for you: Your cover remains effective season after season, not just season after season of replacing covers.
✅ 5-Year Pro-Rata Warranty (UK & Ireland)

🏊 Perfect For These Pool Owners
This cover is ideal if you:
- ✅ Want to reduce heating costs significantly
- ✅ Are tired of constant water top-ups
- ✅ Struggle with chemical consumption and rebalancing
- ✅ Need a durable, long-lasting solution (not a budget temporary fix)
- ✅ Have an 18ft x 36ft pool (or want made-to-measure sizing)

🌍 Environmental Impact
Swim Greener, Save More
Energy Reduction: Up to 7,000 kWh saved annually = 3 tonnes of CO₂ prevented from entering the atmosphere
Water Conservation: 32,000 litres saved = enough to supply an average person’s drinking water for 43 years
Chemical Reduction: 5kg less chlorine = fewer harsh chemicals in the environment
This isn’t just about saving money—it’s about responsible pool ownership.
🤔 Common Questions Answered
Q: Will I still need to heat my pool?
A: For early/late season swimming, yes. But this cover reduces heating requirements by up to 70%, meaning your heater runs far less frequently and your bills drop dramatically. In summer, it may heat your pool sufficiently on its own.
Q: Can I run my pump with the cover on?
A: Absolutely. When properly secured, the cover won’t interfere with circulation or filtration.
Q: Which way do the bubbles face?
A: Bubbles face DOWN toward the water. The air trapped in bubbles is heated by the sun, then transfers directly into the pool.
Q: How do I know if this size fits my pool?
A: This cover is designed for 18ft x 36ft pools. If you need custom sizing, made-to-measure options are available.
Q: What about winter use?
A: Solar covers aren’t designed for winter conditions. Store this carefully and switch to a purpose-made winter cover when closing your pool for the season.
Q: Is this a safety cover?
A: No. This cover cannot support the weight of children or animals. If safety is a priority, consider adding a perimeter fence or investing in a dedicated safety cover.
💡 Pro Tips for Maximum Performance
1. Use with a Roller System
Makes handling effortless and prevents dragging/damage. Your back will thank you.
2. Pair with a Heat Pump
The ultimate efficiency combo. The cover retains what the heat pump generates—maximum warmth, minimum cost.
3. Cover Whenever Not Swimming
Even a few hours uncovered means heat and water loss. Make covering a habit.
4. Remove During Shock Treatment
Protect your investment. High chlorine levels can degrade the material prematurely.
5. Clean Before Storing
Rinse, dry completely, and store in a cool, dry place. Prevents mildew and extends lifespan.
⚠️ Important Disclaimers
Savings Calculations:
*Estimated savings figures are based on typical scenarios for an 18ft x 36ft pool with average UK weather conditions, energy costs of £0.15-0.20 per kWh, and regular swimming season use (April-October). Individual results will vary based on:
- Local climate and sun exposure hours
- Current heating system efficiency
- Pool usage frequency
- Chemical balance maintenance
- Water temperature preferences
- Cover usage consistency
Performance Metrics:
*Temperature increases up to 8°C and heat loss reduction up to 75% represent optimal conditions with full sun exposure, proper installation, and consistent use. Actual performance depends on weather, pool size, shading, and other environmental factors.
Warranty Coverage:
*5-year pro-rata warranty applies only to UK & Ireland purchases and is void if pool water temperature exceeds 29°C or SPATA chemical/TDS standards are not maintained. See full warranty terms for details.
Lifespan:
*GeoBubble technology extends lifespan by 25% compared to traditional bubble covers based on manufacturer testing. Actual lifespan depends on chemical balance, UV exposure, proper storage, and maintenance practices.
🎯 Ready to Transform Your Pool?
The math is simple:
£840-1,410 saved annually vs. the one-time investment in a cover that lasts years.
That’s not an expense—it’s one of the smartest investments you’ll make in your pool.
Stop heating the atmosphere. Stop wasting water. Stop throwing money at chemical rebalancing.
Start enjoying a warmer, cleaner, more cost-effective pool.
