🌡️ Performance Specifications That Matter
Temperature Control
- Raises water temperature by up to 8°C in optimal sunny conditions*
- Reduces heat loss by up to 75% overnight and on cloudy days
- Works brilliantly alongside heat pumps or as a standalone heating solution
Water & Chemical Conservation
- ✅ Eliminates 98% of water evaporation (that’s 32,000 litres per year for average pools)
- ✅ Cuts chemical consumption by up to 30% by preventing UV degradation
- ✅ Reduces chlorine loss significantly, meaning fewer trips to rebalance your water
The 600M Advantage
This premium 600-micron thickness puts it in the top tier of solar covers available:
| Thickness | Heat Retention | Durability | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 400M | Good | 2-3 years | Budget-conscious, above-ground pools |
| 500M | Better | 3-4 years | Standard residential pools |
| 600M | Best | 4-6 years | Maximum performance & longevity |
Why thicker is better: More material means superior resistance to UV damage, chemical exposure, and physical wear—your cover lasts significantly longer.
🔬 GeoBubble™ Technology: Engineered to Last 25% Longer
Not all bubble covers are created equal. Standard covers have thin, weak interconnecting points that degrade quickly. GeoBubble™ technology features:
- Scientifically designed bubble shape that distributes stress evenly
- Two-thirds of material thickness concentrated in the bubble structure for maximum durability
- 50% thicker interconnected joints compared to traditional covers
- 25% longer lifespan than conventional bubble covers*
Translation: You replace this cover less often, saving money long-term.
🎨 Why Royal Blue? (It’s Not Just About Looks)
The Royal Blue colour is strategically chosen for optimal performance:
✅ Absorption: Captures solar energy effectively while minimizing algae-promoting light penetration
✅ Transmission: Allows beneficial UV rays to pass through and heat your water directly
✅ Balance: Strikes the perfect middle ground between clear covers (maximum heating but algae risk) and dark covers (algae prevention but less heating)
Colour Comparison Guide
| Cover Colour | Solar Heating | Algae Prevention | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clear/Translucent | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐ | Maximum temperature gains |
| Royal Blue | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Balanced performance |
| Dark Blue/Black | ⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Algae-prone pools |

🛡️ Built for Longevity: 5-Year Pro-Rata Warranty
Your Royal Blue 600M GeoBubble cover includes a 5-year pro-rata warranty (UK & Eire only), giving you peace of mind in your investment.
How to Maximize Cover Lifespan (4-6 Years Expected)
Do’s: ✅ Maintain proper water chemistry (pH 7.2-7.6, chlorine 2-4 ppm)
✅ Remove cover during shock chlorination
✅ Replace cover only when chlorine returns to 2-4 ppm
✅ Store carefully during winter months
✅ Keep pool water temperature below 29°C
✅ Rinse cover periodically to remove chemical residue
Don’ts: ❌ Leave on during shock treatment (high chlorine degrades material)
❌ Allow TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) to exceed SPATA standards
❌ Drag cover roughly across pool edges
❌ Store while wet or in direct sunlight
Warranty Void If: Pool water exceeds 29°C or SPATA chemical/TDS standards aren’t maintained.

⚙️ How It Works: The Science of Solar Pool Heating
Think of your Royal Blue 600M cover as a giant solar collector combined with a thermal blanket:
1. Solar Energy Capture ☀️
The blue material absorbs solar radiation throughout the day, with UV rays penetrating through to directly warm the water beneath.
2. Greenhouse Effect 🏡
Thousands of air-filled GeoBubble™ pockets trap heat like a greenhouse, creating an insulating layer that supercharges temperature retention.
3. Heat Transfer 🔥
Bubbles face down (always!), allowing trapped warm air to conduct heat directly into your pool water efficiently.
4. Evaporation Prevention 💨
The cover acts as a physical barrier, preventing up to 98% of evaporation—which is crucial because evaporation is the #1 cause of heat loss in pools.
Bottom line: Your pool heats up faster during the day and stays warmer overnight.
🤔 Common Questions Answered
“Will I still need my pool heater?”
Yes, but you’ll use it far less. Solar covers work brilliantly as a complementary heating solution:
- With a heat pump: Reduce energy consumption by up to 70% while reaching target temperature faster*
- With a gas heater: Cut fuel costs dramatically and maintain temperature longer
- Standalone: In peak summer with good sun exposure, you might achieve comfortable swimming temperatures without mechanical heating*
Best practice: Use your heater to reach desired temperature, then rely on the solar cover to maintain it.
“Do the bubbles go up or down?”
Always bubbles DOWN. This is critical! The air trapped in bubbles needs direct contact with water to transfer heat effectively. Bubbles up = poor performance.
“Can I run my pool pump with the cover on?”
Absolutely, yes! As long as your cover is properly secured, it won’t interfere with water circulation. Many pool owners leave covers on during filtration cycles to maximize heat retention.
“What about winter? Can I use this year-round?”
Not recommended for UK winters. Solar covers are optimized for swimming season (roughly April-October). For winter closure:
- Switch to a dedicated winter cover designed for harsh weather and heavy debris
- Store your solar cover properly (clean, dry, away from sunlight) during off-season
- Expect 4-6 years of use with proper seasonal storage
“Is Royal Blue better than clear or gold covers?”
It depends on your priority:
- Clear/Translucent (Sol+Guard): Best for maximum solar heating, but allows more light for potential algae
- Royal Blue (this cover): Balanced approach—excellent heating with good algae prevention
- Gold/Energy Guard: Best heat retention and algae prevention, less direct solar heating
For most pool owners, Royal Blue offers the best all-around performance.
