Save £850–£1,200+ Annually While Heating Your Pool Naturally*
The UK’s Premier Translucent Solar Cover for Active Solar Heating
Your 20ft x 40ft pool is currently losing heat, water, and money every single day. A Sol+Guard 500M GeoBubble cover doesn’t just prevent those losses—it actively heats your water using free solar energy while slashing your running costs by up to 70%*.
💰 The Real Cost of Running Your Pool Uncovered
Before we discuss solutions, let’s talk numbers. For a 20ft x 40ft pool (approximately 6.1m x 12.2m) in the UK:
Annual Operating Costs Without a Cover:
| Loss Type | Annual Cost | What You’re Losing |
|---|---|---|
| Heat Loss (heat pump electricity) | £650–£920* | Running your heat pump constantly to replace evaporated warmth |
| Water Evaporation | £220–£285* | ~50,000 litres annually at £4.40/m³ (equivalent to 625+ baths) |
| Extra Chemical Usage | £95–£140* | Up to 7.5kg additional chlorine due to UV degradation and evaporation |
| Extended Filtration | £45–£75* | Longer pump run times to compensate for debris and chemical imbalance |
| TOTAL ANNUAL WASTE | £1,010–£1,420* | Money literally evaporating into thin air |
With a Sol+Guard 500M cover, you could reduce these costs by 60–75%*, saving £850–£1,200+ per year.
✅ What Makes Sol+Guard Different: Active Solar Heating vs. Passive Retention
Most solar covers simply retain existing heat. Sol+Guard actively heats your water through superior solar energy transmission.
The Sol+Guard Advantage:
🌡️ Temperature Increase: Up to 8°C from solar gain alone (tested in collaboration with UK universities)
💡 Translucent Technology: Clear top layer + translucent tinted underside allows maximum UV penetration while protecting chemicals
⚡ Energy Savings: Up to 70%* reduction in heating costs (£650–£920 saved annually for 20ft x 40ft pools)
💧 Water Conservation: 98%+ evaporation elimination (~50,000 litres saved annually = 625+ baths)
🧪 Chemical Reduction: Up to 40%* less chlorine needed (~7.5kg saved per year worth £95–£140)
🛡️ GeoBubble Technology: 25% longer lifespan than traditional bubble covers (6+ year expected life)
🔬 The Science Behind Sol+Guard’s Superior Performance
Why Translucent Beats Opaque for Solar Heating
Independent testing conducted with two UK universities demonstrated that translucent covers achieve significantly greater solar energy transmission than opaque alternatives:
Sol+Guard Translucent Design:
- ✅ Maximum UV ray penetration reaches water directly
- ✅ Heats water throughout the entire depth
- ✅ Works like a greenhouse, trapping and magnifying solar energy
- ✅ Achieves up to 8°C temperature increase in optimal conditions
Traditional Opaque Covers (Blue/Dark colours):
- ❌ UV rays absorbed by cover surface, not water
- ❌ Heat transfer limited to top few centimetres
- ❌ Primarily retention-focused with minimal active heating
- ❌ Typically achieve only 2–4°C increase
The Dual-Layer Advantage
Sol+Guard’s unique two-ply construction provides:
- Clear Top Surface: Maximum solar transmission
- Translucent Tinted Underside: Reduces harmful UV degradation of pool chemicals while maintaining heat transfer efficiency
- GeoBubble Air Chambers: Trap warm air and create an insulating barrier
Think of it like double-glazed windows for your pool—but instead of just preventing heat loss, they actively let warming energy through.

🛡️ GeoBubble Technology: Why Sol+Guard Lasts 25% Longer
Traditional bubble covers fail at predictable points: the thin connecting “waist” between bubbles. UV exposure, chemical attack, and thermal stress concentrate here, causing premature tearing.
The GeoBubble Innovation:
🔧 Scientifically Designed Shape:
- Two bubbles joined at a thickened, reinforced waistline with no sharp corners
- 50% thicker overall than traditional bubble covers at stress points
- No thin or weak points where degradation accelerates
☀️ Advanced UV Stabilisation:
- Proprietary additive, stabiliser, and anti-oxidant package
- Resists UV degradation from 8,000+ hours of direct sunlight
- Maintains structural integrity through temperature extremes (-10°C to +60°C surface temps)
📏 Uniform Thickness:
- Consistent 500 micron profile across entire bubble structure
- Greater room for air expansion/contraction (prevents splitting)
- Even load distribution (resists handling damage)
Expected Lifespan: 6+ years (vs. 4–5 years for traditional bubble covers) Lifecycle Cost Advantage: £111/year vs. £130/year for traditional covers
🌊 Environmental Benefits (Beyond Your Wallet)
Every summer season with a Sol+Guard cover:
💧 Water Conservation:
- 50,000 litres saved (equivalent to 625 baths or 105 days of household water use)
- Reduces strain on local water infrastructure during peak summer demand
⚡ Carbon Footprint Reduction:
- 2,200 kWh less electricity consumed (if using heat pump)
- Equivalent to 540kg CO₂ reduction (same as driving 2,100 miles less)
- Reduces demand on UK grid during peak hours
♻️ Chemical Reduction:
- 7.5kg less chlorine manufactured, transported, and dispersed into environment

🔧 Installation & Usage Guide
Correct Installation (Critical for Performance):
1. Orientation: Place cover with bubbles facing DOWN toward the water
- The air trapped in bubbles is heated by sun penetrating from above
- Heat transfers directly into water through bubble contact points
- Incorrect installation (bubbles up) reduces heating efficiency by 40–60%
2. Sizing: Cover should extend to within 50–100mm of pool edge
- Allows for thermal expansion/contraction
- Prevents cover from pulling away from edges in wind
- Too tight = stress on material; too loose = edge evaporation
3. Trimming (if needed): Use sharp scissors to trim cover to exact pool shape
- Cut conservatively (you can always remove more, can’t add back)
- Trim around steps, ladders, or irregular shapes
- Seal cut edges with clear packing tape to prevent fraying
Using with Pool Equipment:
✅ Can run pool pump with cover on: Cover won’t interfere with circulation ✅ Can operate with skimmers active: Ensure cover doesn’t block skimmer openings ✅ Compatible with all roller systems: Lightweight design (18kg) works with manual and automatic rollers ❌ Don’t heat pool artificially with cover on: Remove cover before running gas/oil heaters (solar heating and heat pumps are fine)
Daily Management:
Morning:
- Remove cover to allow pool to warm throughout the day (if sunny)
- OR leave cover on to maximize solar heating if not swimming until evening
Evening:
- Replace cover immediately after final swim of the day
- Secure edges to prevent wind from lifting cover
- Every degree of overnight heat loss costs money to replace
Windy conditions:
- Use cover clips, water tubes, or roller attachment to prevent billowing
- Wind exposure increases evaporation risk even with cover present
🧹 Care & Maintenance (Maximize Your 6+ Year Lifespan)
During Swimming Season:
Weekly:
- Hose off debris from top surface (prevents organic staining)
- Check for water pooling on cover surface (indicates sagging—adjust tension)
- Inspect bubble condition (look for splits, punctures)
Monthly:
- Clean cover with mild detergent and soft brush
- Rinse thoroughly (chemical residue degrades UV stabilisation)
- Check roller mechanism for smooth operation
Chemical Management:
- Maintain proper pH (7.2–7.6) and chlorine levels (chemical imbalance damages covers)
- Avoid shock-chlorinating with cover on (remove cover for 24 hours after shocking)
- Don’t allow chemicals to sit on dry cover surface
End-of-Season Storage (Critical for Longevity):
When to Store:
- Late September/early October (when pool closes for winter)
- Don’t use Sol+Guard as winter cover (not designed for snow loads, freezing temps)
Proper Storage Process:
- Clean thoroughly: Remove all organic debris, rinse both sides, allow to fully air-dry
- Fold (don’t roll tightly): Loose accordion folds prevent crease damage
- Store indoors: Garage, shed, or basement (away from UV exposure)
- Keep dry: Moisture in folds promotes mildew growth
- Avoid heavy objects on top: Prevents crushing GeoBubble structure
- Temperature: Store in 5–25°C environment (extreme temps degrade materials)
Winter Cover Recommendation: Use purpose-made winter cover during closed season, store Sol+Guard until spring
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Performance & Effectiveness
Q: Will this really heat my pool by 8°C? A: In optimal conditions (6+ hours direct sunlight, minimal cloud cover, late spring/summer), yes—university testing confirmed up to 8°C increase. However, real-world results vary based on location, season, weather, and pool characteristics. Typical realistic gains in UK climate: 4–6°C in high summer, 2–3°C in shoulder season. The key benefit is reduced reliance on expensive artificial heating, not eliminating it entirely.
Q: How does Sol+Guard compare to Energy Guard for my pool? A: Choose based on your primary concern:
- Sol+Guard: Best for maximum solar heating. Translucent design transmits UV for active temperature increase. Choose if you want to heat pool primarily with sun and don’t have severe algae problems.
- Energy Guard: Best for algae prevention. Opaque material blocks light (preventing photosynthesis) while still allowing selective UV transmission. Choose if your pool battles persistent algae despite proper chemical maintenance.
Q: Can I use this with my existing heat pump/solar panels? A: Absolutely—in fact, it’s the ideal combination. Sol+Guard reduces your heat pump’s workload by 60–70%* (£600–£900 saved annually). For solar thermal systems, Sol+Guard acts as a “solar multiplier,” capturing additional heat while your panels work, then preventing that heat from escaping at night. This combination can extend your effective swimming season by 4–6 weeks.
Q: Will this work for indoor pools? A: Sol+Guard is designed primarily for outdoor pools with sun exposure. For indoor pools, consider a purpose-made foam pool cover which provides superior heat retention in warmer, enclosed environments without relying on solar transmission.
Sizing & Installation
Q: This is 20ft x 40ft, but my pool is 6m x 12m—will it fit? A: 20ft x 40ft = 6.1m x 12.2m, so it will fit your pool with a small overhang. You can trim the edges with scissors to achieve a perfect fit (leave 50–100mm gap from pool edge for thermal expansion).
Q: My pool is an irregular shape—can I cut this to fit? A: Yes. Use sharp scissors to cut around curves, steps, and protrusions. For best results:
- Lay cover over pool while dry
- Mark cutting line with waterproof marker (50–100mm from edge)
- Cut conservatively (you can always trim more)
- Seal cut edges with clear packing tape to prevent fraying
Q: Do I need a roller, or can I remove this manually? A: The 20ft x 40ft Sol+Guard weighs approximately 18kg when dry, 25–30kg when wet. You can remove it manually (2 people recommended), but a roller makes the process significantly easier and prevents dragging damage to the bubbles. A manual roller costs £150–£280 and pays for itself in extended cover life and convenience.
Q: Bubbles up or down? A: Bubbles DOWN (toward the water). The air pockets are heated by sunlight passing through the clear top layer, and heat transfers directly into the water. Installing bubbles-up reduces heating efficiency by 40–60% and traps dirt in the bubbles.
Durability & Lifespan
Q: How long will this cover last? A: With proper care and seasonal storage, expect 6+ years. Factors affecting lifespan:
- ✅ Extends life: Proper pH/chemical balance, roller use, winter storage indoors, rinsing debris weekly
- ❌ Reduces life: Dragging over rough pool edges, storing folded-wet, leaving out in winter, prolonged chemical imbalance, excessive shock treatments
Q: The cover is only 500 microns—is that thick enough? A: Yes. GeoBubble’s reinforced design at 500 microns is actually structurally stronger than traditional 600 micron covers due to the elimination of weak stress points. The 500M thickness optimizes the balance between durability, heat transmission, and handling weight. Thicker isn’t always better—it’s about smart engineering.
Q: What damages these covers most often? A: The top 3 causes of premature failure:
- Dragging damage: Pulling cover off pool edge scrapes/tears bubbles (use a roller)
- Chemical attack: Imbalanced pH or shock-chlorinating with cover on degrades material
- Winter exposure: Snow loads and freezing temps crack GeoBubble structure (store indoors October–April)
Economics & ROI
Q: £671 seems expensive—is it worth it? A: Consider the alternative costs:
- Operating uncovered: £1,010–£1,420/year in wasted energy, water, and chemicals
- With Sol+Guard: £165–£280/year in reduced operating costs
- Net savings: £850–£1,200/year
- Payback period: 8–14 months
- 6-year lifecycle savings: £4,700–£6,700 (after deducting initial £671 investment)
Even if you only achieve 50% of these savings, the cover still pays for itself in the first 18 months and delivers £2,000+ in net profit over its lifespan.
Q: Could I just buy a cheaper £400 Blue cover instead? A: You could, but you’d lose significant value:
- Blue 400M: Provides only passive heat retention (2–3°C gain vs. Sol+Guard’s 6–8°C)
- Shorter lifespan: 4–5 years vs. 6+ years (22% higher annual cost)
- Less energy savings: ~50% reduction vs. Sol+Guard’s 70% reduction
- Total 6-year cost difference: Sol+Guard saves an additional £900–£1,400 vs. budget covers despite higher upfront cost
For pools under 12ft x 24ft, budget covers make sense. For your 20ft x 40ft pool, Sol+Guard’s superior performance justifies the investment.
Q: What if I’m only keeping my house for 2–3 more years? A: Solar covers are a selling point for pool-equipped homes. Estate agents report pool properties with quality covers/equipment sell faster and command 2–5% premiums vs. poorly-maintained pools. Even in 2 years, you’ll save £1,700–£2,400 while increasing resale appeal.
Practical Usage
Q: Do I need to remove the cover every time we swim? A: Yes. Sol+Guard is not a safety cover and cannot support weight. Additionally, removing the cover during daytime swimming allows sunlight to penetrate deeper into the pool water for more even heating. Replace the cover immediately after the final swim of the day to lock in heat overnight.
Q: Can I leave this on while the pool is heating? A:
- ✅ Heat pump heating: Safe to leave cover on (actually improves efficiency)
- ✅ Solar thermal heating: Safe to leave cover on (maximizes heat capture)
- ❌ Gas/oil heaters: Remove cover before operating (prevents overheating damage)
Q: What about in winter? A: Do NOT use Sol+Guard as a winter cover. Snow loads and freezing temperatures will damage the GeoBubble structure. Purchase a purpose-made winter cover (mesh or solid) and store Sol+Guard indoors from October through April.
Q: How do I stop the cover blowing around in wind? A: Three solutions:
- Roller attachment: Most effective—cover stays attached to roller when not fully deployed
- Water tubes: Place around perimeter (£40–£80 for set)
- Cover clips: Attach to pool deck/edge (£15–£30 for 10-pack)
