🌞 Sol+Guard 500M 180 GeoBubble Solar Cover – Maximum UV Protection for Warmer Climates

Save Up to £700+ Annually While Protecting Your Pool Investment in High-UV Environments*

💰 The Real Cost of Not Having the Right Cover in High-UV Areas

If you’re in a region with intense sunlight or warmer climate conditions, your pool is working overtime against:

• Heat Loss: Up to 75% of your pool’s warmth escapes overnight without proper protection
• Evaporation Crisis: 32,000 litres of water vanish annually (that’s 400 baths worth) – even more in sunny, warm climates
• Chemical Breakdown: UV rays destroy chlorine 30% faster in high-UV zones, forcing constant rebalancing
• Energy Waste: Your heating system runs 70% longer trying to maintain comfortable temperatures
• Cover Degradation: Standard covers deteriorate rapidly under intense UV exposure, requiring replacement every 2-3 years

For a typical UK pool owner in a high-UV area, this translates to approximately £700-900+ in unnecessary annual costs.

✅ Why Sol+Guard 500M 180 Is the Smart Solution for Sunny Locations

The Sol+Guard 500M 180 isn’t just another solar cover – it’s specifically engineered with enhanced UV protection to withstand up to 180 Kilolangley years (kLys/yrs) of UV exposure, making it ideal for:

✓ Southern UK regions with higher-than-average sunshine
✓ Conservatory pools with year-round sun exposure
✓ Pools in open, unshaded locations that receive direct sunlight
✓ Warmer climate zones anywhere in the world (see UV map below)

The 180 Advantage: Built for Intense Sunlight

Unlike the standard Sol+Guard 140 (suitable for areas up to 140 kLys/yrs), the 180 variant includes a protective UV-resistant layer that:

• Prevents premature degradation from intense UV exposure
• Maintains transparency longer for consistent solar heating performance
• Extends lifespan by 40-60% compared to standard covers in high-UV conditions
• Protects your investment with a 6-year pro-rata warranty (vs. 3-4 years for standard covers)

🌡️ The Science Behind Sol+Guard’s Transparent Heating Technology

How It Heats Your Pool Naturally

The Sol+Guard 500M 180 uses transparent material specifically designed for maximum UV transmission:

1. Transparent Surface Technology: Unlike darker covers that block light, Sol+Guard’s crystal-clear material allows UV rays to penetrate deep into the water
2. GeoBubble Heat Capture: The patented bubble design traps solar energy and transfers it directly to your pool water
3. Dual-Action Performance: Simultaneously captures new heat while preventing existing warmth from escaping
4. Temperature Boost: Can raise water temperature by up to 8°C in optimal sunny conditions

GeoBubble Technology: 25% Longer Lifespan

Traditional bubble covers use simple round bubbles that develop stress points and fail quickly. GeoBubble’s scientifically designed shape:

• Distributes stress evenly across the material
• Resists tearing and degradation in high-UV environments
• Maintains structural integrity for 6+ years with proper care
• 50% thicker at stress points compared to standard bubble designs

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

About the Sol+Guard 500M 180 Specifically

Q: What’s the difference between Sol+Guard 140 and Sol+Guard 180?

A: The number refers to UV protection level (Kilolangley years). The 180 variant includes an enhanced UV-resistant protective layer designed for areas with UV intensity up to 180 kLys/yrs – primarily warmer climates, Southern UK regions, and conservatory pools. The 140 is suitable for standard UK conditions (Northern England, Scotland, Wales). Both offer identical heating and insulation performance; the 180 simply lasts longer in high-UV environments.

Q: How do I know if I need the 180 vs. the 140?

A: Check the UV intensity map. If you’re in Southern England, have a conservatory pool, or your previous covers deteriorated within 2-3 years, choose the 180. For Northern UK or shaded pools, the 140 may suffice. When in doubt, the 180 provides extra protection with no performance drawbacks.

Q: Can I use this cover year-round?

A: No. Solar covers (including Sol+Guard) are designed for swimming season use (typically April-October in the UK). They’re not built to withstand harsh winter weather, snow accumulation, or freezing conditions. Switch to a purpose-built winter cover when closing your pool, and store your Sol+Guard properly during winter. Proper seasonal use extends its 6-year lifespan significantly.

General Solar Cover Questions

Q: Will this cover heat my pool on its own, or do I still need a heater?

A: While Sol+Guard can raise water temperature by up to 8°C in optimal sunny conditions, it works best in combination with a heating system (heat pump or solar panels). Think of it as a force multiplier: it captures free solar energy during the day while preventing the heat loss that makes your heater work overtime. This dual action cuts your heating costs by 70% while maintaining comfortable swimming temperatures.

Q: How much weight can this cover support? Is it safe if a child or pet walks on it?

A: No – this is NOT a safety cover. Sol+Guard 500M is designed for heat retention and solar heating only. It cannot support the weight of children, pets, or adults and will sink if anyone stands on it, creating a drowning hazard. If child or pet safety is a concern, you need a dedicated safety cover with proper anchoring, or install perimeter fencing around your pool.

Q: Can I leave my pool pump and filter running with the cover on?

A: Yes, absolutely! The cover doesn’t interfere with water circulation underneath. In fact, it’s recommended to keep your filtration system running on its normal schedule even when the cover is deployed. Just ensure the cover is properly secured and won’t interfere with skimmers or other equipment.

Q: How long does it take to put on and remove the cover?

A: Manually handling the cover takes 2-3 minutes with two people for a 12ft x 24ft pool. We strongly recommend using a roller system (sold separately), which allows one person to deploy or remove the cover in under 60 seconds. Roller systems also prevent damage from dragging the cover across pool decks and significantly extend cover lifespan.

Q: What’s the actual lifespan I can expect?

A: With proper care and maintenance, Sol+Guard 500M 180 typically lasts 6-8 years in high-UV environments – significantly longer than standard covers (2-3 years). The 6-year pro-rata warranty provides peace of mind. Factors affecting lifespan include:

• Proper chemical balance (pH 7.2-7.6, chlorine 1-3ppm)
• Pool temperature (must stay below 29°C)
• Storage during off-season (cool, dry, out of sunlight)
• Handling (use roller system, avoid dragging)
• UV exposure (the 180 formulation extends life in sunny locations)

Q: Will this help with my algae problem?

A: Sol+Guard’s transparent design allows UV rays to penetrate, which means it won’t directly prevent algae growth like darker covers do. However, it indirectly helps by:

• Reducing evaporation (keeps chemical levels stable)
• Preventing debris that feeds algae
• Maintaining consistent water chemistry

If algae is your primary concern, consider Energy Guard 500M instead – it has selective transmission coating that blocks algae-promoting light while still allowing UV heating.

Q: How do I clean and maintain the cover?

A: Simple monthly maintenance keeps your cover performing optimally:

1. Monthly rinse: Remove cover and rinse both sides with fresh water from garden hose
2. Remove chemical residue: Use soft brush with mild detergent if needed
3. Inspect for damage: Check for small tears or holes; repair immediately with vinyl patch kit
4. Proper storage: When not in use during summer, store on roller or in shaded area
5. Winter storage: Clean, dry completely, roll loosely, store in cool/dry location away from direct sunlight

Avoid: Harsh chemicals, pressure washers (can damage bubbles), dragging across rough surfaces, storing while wet.

Ordering & Logistics

Q: How long does delivery take?

A: All Sol+Guard covers are made to order. Production takes approximately 2-3 weeks from order confirmation. Once manufactured, UK delivery is typically 3-5 working days. We recommend ordering 4 weeks before you need it to ensure it arrives for the start of swimming season.

Q: What’s included with my purchase?

A: You receive:

• Sol+Guard 500M 180 GeoBubble solar cover in your chosen size
• 6-year pro-rata warranty documentation
• Care and installation instructions
• Manufacturer’s technical specifications

NOT included (available separately):

• Cover roller system (highly recommended)
• Storage bag
• Repair patch kit

Q: Can I return it if it doesn’t fit?

A: Because all covers are custom made to order, returns are only accepted for manufacturing defects, not sizing issues. It’s crucial to measure accurately before ordering. Use our Solar Cover Calculator or contact our team for assistance with measurements. For irregular pools, consider our bespoke sizing service (small additional fee, perfect fit guaranteed).

Q: Do you ship internationally?

A: Yes, we ship Sol+Guard covers worldwide. However, the 6-year pro-rata warranty applies to UK & Ireland only. International customers in high-UV regions will particularly benefit from the 180 UV protection. Contact us for international shipping quotes.

🌐 Understanding UV Protection: The Science Behind “180”

What Is a Kilolangley Year (kLys/yr)?

Kilolangley years (kLys/yrs) is a scientific measurement of cumulative UV radiation exposure. It combines:

• Intensity of UV rays
• Duration of exposure throughout the year
• Geographic location (latitude, altitude, cloud cover)

Higher numbers = more intense UV exposure = greater stress on pool cover materials

Why UV Protection Matters for Cover Lifespan

Standard pool cover materials are polyethylene (plastic), which degrades when exposed to UV radiation. The process:

1. UV photons break molecular bonds in the plastic
2. Material becomes brittle and loses flexibility
3. Bubbles crack and pop under stress
4. Cover develops holes and loses insulating properties
5. Complete failure requires expensive replacement

The Sol+Guard 180’s protective UV layer:

• Absorbs and dissipates harmful UV radiation before it damages the base material
• Maintains material flexibility for 6+ years instead of 2-3 years
• Protects your investment with extended warranty coverage
• Ensures consistent performance throughout the cover’s lifespan

Global UV Intensity Reference

Areas typically requiring 180 UV protection:

• UK: Southern England (Cornwall, Devon, Hampshire, Sussex, Kent)
• Europe: Southern France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Southern Germany
• North America: Southern USA (California, Arizona, Texas, Florida)
• Rest of World: Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, North Africa, Middle East, Mediterranean regions

Areas where 140 UV protection typically suffices:

• UK: Scotland, Northern England, Wales, Northern Ireland
• Europe: Northern France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Scandinavia
• North America: Northern USA, Canada
