🔬 Why Honeycomb Technology Outperforms Standard Bubble Covers
The Science of Superior Heat Retention
Most pool covers use basic bubble wrap technology. The Honeycomb Black Solar Cell Cover represents the next generation:
Patented Alveolar (Honeycomb) Structure
Unlike round bubbles that create gaps and “thermal bridges” (cold spots where heat escapes), the honeycomb design features:
- Interlocking hexagonal cells – 39% fewer thermal bridges than standard covers
- Double-glazing effect – trapped air pockets provide superior insulation
- 7% better heat retention than GeoBubble 500µm covers
- 500 microns thick – more durable than budget 400µm alternatives
Revolutionary Dual-Layer Design
Black UV-blocking outer layer:
- Absorbs and retains solar heat more effectively than clear or blue covers
- Blocks harmful UV rays that degrade pool chemicals
- Reduces chlorine consumption by up to 30%
- Prevents algae growth by blocking light penetration
Translucent honeycomb inner layer:
- Creates powerful greenhouse effect
- Maximizes solar heat gain during sunny days
- Optimizes heat transfer to pool water
- Maintains water temperature overnight
The result? Water temperatures up to 8°C warmer than uncovered pools, with heat retention that keeps your pool comfortable even during cooler UK evenings.

- Place on pool – start at one end and unroll across water
- Trim if needed – though pre-cut sizing should fit perfectly
- Attach to reel (if using) – secure leading edge to roller system
- Cover when stored – use opaque tarpaulin to protect from UV when rolled up
⚠️ Critical: Always place bubbles facing DOWN toward the water. The honeycomb structure transfers heat most efficiently when in direct contact with pool water.
Daily Use Routine
Morning:
- Remove cover before swimming
- Roll onto reel or fold carefully
- Cover rolled cover with tarpaulin if left in sun
Evening:
- Replace cover immediately after last swim
- Ensure bubbles face down
- Smooth out air pockets for maximum coverage
Weekly:
- Quick visual inspection for damage
- Check reel mechanism (if applicable)

❓ Common Questions Answered
About Performance & Savings
Q: Will this really save me £600+ per year?
A: Based on typical UK pool operating costs, yes. The exact amount depends on your pool size (this 14x28ft size), heating method, water rates, and usage patterns. Conservative calculations show £646-£1,112 annual savings. Many customers report even higher savings, particularly those using electric heating. The cover pays for itself within 3-7 months on average.*
Q: How much warmer will my pool be?
A: In optimal UK summer conditions (sunny days), expect 2-4°C temperature increase during the day. Total temperature difference vs. an uncovered pool can be 6-8°C when accounting for overnight heat retention. Results vary based on sun exposure, air temperature, and wind conditions.
Q: Does it work on cloudy days?
A: Yes! While solar heating is reduced without direct sunshine, the cover’s primary benefit—heat retention and evaporation prevention—works in all weather conditions. The 550µm thickness and honeycomb structure maintain water temperature even during overcast periods.
Q: How quickly will I see savings?
A: Immediately. From day one, you’ll eliminate 99% of evaporation (saving 180 litres daily) and reduce heating requirements by up to 70%. Most owners notice significantly lower energy bills within the first month.
About The Technology
Q: What makes honeycomb better than round bubbles?
A: Honeycomb (alveolar) cells interlock with 39% fewer gaps than round bubbles, creating superior insulation. Think of it like the difference between beach balls (lots of gaps) and a honeycomb structure (minimal gaps). Less gaps = less heat escape = better performance.
Q: Why is the black color better?
A: Black absorbs more solar radiation than clear or blue covers, providing superior heat gain during sunny days. The dual-layer design combines black heat absorption with translucent honeycomb underneath for the best of both worlds—maximum solar heating PLUS exceptional heat retention.
Q: Is 550 microns significantly better than 400 or 500?
A: Yes. The difference:
- 400µm: Budget option, 2-3 season lifespan, adequate performance
- 500µm: Good option, 4-5 season lifespan, better heat retention
- 550µm (this cover): Premium option, 6+ season warranty, superior durability and 7% better heat retention than 500µm
The extra thickness translates to longer lifespan and better ROI.
Q: What’s the degressive 20% warranty?
A: Your warranty covers 6 summer seasons with degressive (declining) coverage:
- Year 1-2: 100% coverage
- Year 3-4: 80% coverage
- Year 5-6: 60% coverage This is standard for pool covers as natural wear occurs over time. It’s actually excellent—many covers only warranty 2-3 seasons.
About Installation & Use
Q: Which way do the bubbles go?
A: Bubbles ALWAYS face DOWN toward the water. The black smooth side faces up toward the sun. This allows the honeycomb structure to transfer heat directly into the pool water most efficiently.
Q: Do I need a roller/reel?
A: Not mandatory, but highly recommended for 14x28ft pools. This size cover is manageable for two people to remove manually, but a roller makes daily use much easier and protects the cover when stored. Rollers sold separately.
Q: Can I leave it on while the filter runs?
A: Yes, absolutely. Ensure the cover is properly secured so it doesn’t block the skimmer intake. The cover won’t interfere with water circulation underneath.
Q: What about the leading edge/hemming shown in pictures?
A: The reinforced hemming and leading edge kit is sold separately. While not essential, it does make reel attachment easier and extends cover life by reducing edge wear. Your cover will function perfectly without it.
Q: How do I clean it?
A: Simple! Rinse 2-3 times per season with a garden hose. No special cleaners needed. Let air dry before storing. That’s it.
About Durability & Maintenance
Q: How long will this cover last?
A: With proper care (covered when stored, proper water chemistry, winter storage indoors), expect 6+ years. The 6-season warranty reflects this. Many customers get 7-8 years from premium covers. Proper storage is key—UV exposure when rolled up is the biggest killer of cover lifespan.
Q: Do I need to remove it when adding chemicals?
A: For regular chlorine additions (maintaining 1-3 ppm), no. For shock treatment (raising to 10+ ppm), yes—remove for 48 hours. High chlorine concentrations can degrade cover material.
Q: Can I use it in winter?
A: This is a summer/season cover designed for May-September use. For winter pool closure, use a dedicated winter cover. Store this cover indoors during winter to protect from frost and freezing, which can damage the material.
Q: What if my pool is slightly different dimensions?
A: The ±1% dimensional tolerance means this 14x28ft cover fits 13.8-14.2ft x 27.7-28.3ft pools. For pools outside this range, consider custom sizing or trimming carefully (though trimming may affect warranty).
Q: What happens if it tears?
A: Small tears can be patched with pool cover repair tape. Large damage typically isn’t repairable. The 550µm thickness is highly tear-resistant compared to thinner alternatives. Warranty covers manufacturing defects but not damage from misuse or sharp objects.
About ROI & Value
Q: Is this worth it for a short swimming season?
A: Even more so! If you only use your pool June-August (90 days), the cover ensures every day is swim-ready by maintaining temperature overnight. The savings still apply—evaporation and heat loss don’t take holidays. ROI is typically 4-8 months regardless of season length.
Q: How does this compare to cheaper covers?
A: Budget 400µm covers cost £150-£250 but last 2-3 seasons and provide less heat retention. This 550µm Honeycomb cover costs £250-£350, lasts 6+ seasons, and delivers superior performance. Over 6 years:
- Budget cover: £150 x 3 covers = £450 + inferior savings
- This cover: £300 x 1 cover = £300 + maximum savings Better performance AND lower long-term cost.
Q: What if energy prices keep rising?
A: Even better for you! The 70% heating reduction becomes more valuable as energy costs increase. If gas/electricity prices rise 20%, your savings increase proportionally while your neighbors’ costs skyrocket.
Q: Can I finance this purchase?
A: Check with Parts4Tubs for current payment options. Given the 6-10 month payback period, even spreading cost over several months still results in net savings within the first year.
🚨 Critical Storage Warning: Protect Your Investment
Most pool cover failures are NOT from use—they’re from improper storage.
☠️ UV DAMAGE WHEN ROLLED UP IS THE #1 COVER KILLER
When your cover is rolled up on a reel during the day:
- Direct sunlight damages the material at 10X the rate of when it’s on water
- UV rays degrade polyethylene rapidly without water to cool it
- A cover left exposed can lose 2-3 seasons of lifespan in a single summer
The Solution: Always Cover Your Rolled Cover
✅ Use an opaque tarpaulin to cover the rolled-up cover when not in use
✅ Store indoors when possible during extended non-use periods
✅ Winter storage MUST be indoors – frost and freezing destroy covers
Covers left exposed = 2-3 season lifespan
Covers properly protected = 6-8 season lifespan
Don’t sabotage your £300 investment with £15 of neglect. Protect it, and it’ll protect your pool for years.

📝 Important Disclaimers & Assumptions
Savings Calculations: All financial projections are estimates based on:
- Pool size: 14ft x 28ft rectangle (~37m² surface area)
- Swimming season: May-September (150 days)
- Target temperature: 26-28°C maintained
- Energy costs: Gas 10p/kWh, electricity 24p/kWh (UK averages)
- Water rates: £3.50 per m³ (UK average)
- Climate: Typical UK weather patterns (South England baseline)
- Cover use: Daily covering when pool not in active use
- Proper installation: Bubbles down, full pool coverage, secured properly
Performance Variables: Actual savings and performance depend on:
- Your specific location and microclimate
- Actual energy and water rates in your area
- Current heating method efficiency
- Pool usage patterns and hours uncovered
- Wind exposure and shelter
- Sun exposure (trees, buildings, orientation)
- Cover maintenance and care
- Starting water temperature
- Existing insulation/cover use
Warranty Limitations: The 6-season degressive warranty (20% reduction) covers manufacturing defects and normal material degradation. Warranty EXCLUDES damage from:
- Improper storage (UV exposure when not in use, frost/freeze damage)
- Contact with pool coping or sharp edges
- Extreme water chemistry (pH <6.9 or >7.7, chlorine >10 ppm)
- Misuse, vandalism, or accidental damage
- Natural wear from use (degressive coverage reflects this)
Product Specifications: “Season” is defined as May-September active use (approximately 5 months). Cover is designed for summer/seasonal use only—NOT year-round or winter use. Store indoors during winter months to prevent frost damage.
Chemical Requirements: Cover performance and warranty require maintaining pool chemistry within specified ranges (pH 6.9-7.7, free chlorine 0.4-1.4 mg/L). Remove cover during shock treatments (chlorine >10 ppm) for 48 hours minimum.
Storage Requirements: When cover is rolled up on reel system, it MUST be covered with opaque tarpaulin to prevent UV degradation. UV damage during storage is NOT covered under warranty. Proper storage is essential for achieving 6+ season lifespan.
Safety Warning: This is NOT a safety cover. It cannot support the weight of children, pets, or adults. Never allow anyone to walk on or play on the cover. It is designed for heat retention and debris protection only. Consider safety covers or perimeter fencing if child/pet safety is a concern.
Comparative Claims: Performance comparisons (7% better than GeoBubble 500µm, 39% fewer thermal bridges) are based on manufacturer testing and third-party laboratory analysis. Real-world results may vary based on conditions.
ROI Timelines: Payback period calculations (4-10 months) assume consistent cover use throughout swimming season and baseline costs as stated. Your actual ROI will vary based on your specific circumstances. Most customers report 6-10 month payback periods.
Made-To-Order: This cover is manufactured to order. Lead times may vary by season. Contact Parts4Tubs for current production timelines. Returns may be limited due to custom manufacturing—verify dimensions before ordering.
While we believe these figures represent realistic expectations for most UK pool owners, individual results will vary. We encourage you to calculate your specific potential savings based on your actual utility costs, usage patterns, and local conditions.
