Product Detail
250% thicker than the 200 micron standard solar covers, so far more effective. Saves heating costs by amplifying the sun's rays and helps to keep the heat in the pool. Also helps to minimize debris falling into the pool.The cover floats on top of the water to provide heat insulation.
- Clear top, with a tinted translucent underside.
- uV stabilized.
- 500 micron.
- Increase water temperature by up to 8°C
- Eliminate water evaporation by 98% +
- Cut chemical consumption by up to 30%
- Lower energy consumption by over 50%
- 6 year pro-rata guarantee (UK & Eire only).
A Leading Edge Towing Kit is available to suit this cover. Please see the accessories section below.
PLEASE NOTE:
- All covers are made-to-measure, and so are non-returnable and non-refundable.
- Supplied complete with a solar protector sheet to be used when the cover is off the pool.
- Covers are made slightly over-sized.
- Covers over 12m long should be fitted with reinforcing and a leading edge.
- To convert from sq.ft to sq.m. multiply the sq.ft. by 0.0929.
- Welding on solar covers can lead to a slight waving.
- Cover guarantee is void if pool temperature exceeds 29°C, or where SPATA standards for chemical and TDS levels are not met.
What is a Sol+Guard cover?
A Sol+Guard Solar Pool Cover is an innovative product manufactured by Plastica using swimming pool bubble cover material produced by their sister company Plastipack Limited.
The product has a unique two ply combination, a clear top surface and a translucent tinted underside. Tests carried out, in collaboration with Brighton and London Metropolitan Universities, prove that the more translucent a bubble cover is, the greater the penetration of solar energy into the pool water. This cover is at the top of its class in allowing the maximum amount of solar gain.
The Sol+Guard cover has the ability to provide a variety of benefits to the end-user. This ranges from reducing the heating and maintenance costs and the personal desire to save natural resources, to the practicalities of reducing energy and water usage.
The tough durable 500 micron pool cover materials used for EnergyGuard, CoolGuard and Sol+Guard are formulated for climate conditions in various continents of the world depending on UV (ultra violet) weathering intensity.
The Sol+Guard and EnergyGuard materials are supplied in two UV formulations: one for areas up to 140 Lys/yrs (Kilolangley years) and one for up to 180kLys/yrs. CoolGuard is supplied for areas up to 180kLys/yrs.
The additives we use combine weather and chemical resistant pigments with high performance light, weather and chemical stabilization. The additives used are non-toxic and registered in Australia, Canada, China, EU, Japan, Korea, Philippines and USA.
Increase pool temperature by up to 8°C through solar energy gain
Tests carried out in collaboration with two UK Universities, showed that the more translucent a cover is the greater the penetration of solar energy into the swimming pool water.
The unique Sol+Guard cover harnesses this concept allowing maximum solar gain to pass through the material resulting in the increase in pool temperature by up to 8°C.
Eliminate Water Evaporation by 98% +
With an Sol+Guard pool cover you will be able to eliminate water evaporation by over 98%, thus greatly reducing your water consumption and your water charges, as well as saving a vital natural resource.
Plastipack carried out research, in collaboration with the Brighton University and London Metropolitan University, which proved that the evaporation loss in the UK for an average sized pool, 4m x 8m, is approximately 32,000 litres per year. This figure is considerably higher for hotter climates.
Reduce Chemical Consumption by up to 30%
A Sol+Guard cover can help reduce chemical losses by evaporation by up to 30% when it is in use. All pool chemical levels and treatment should be maintained at the manufacturers recommended level.
Reduce Energy Consumption by over 50%
A Sol+Guard cover will eliminate evaporation and greatly reduce radiation. Plastipack’s heat retention tests carried out in collaboration with the Brighton and London Metropolitan Universities, showed conclusive energy savings of over 50%. This applied to oil, gas, electric heater or heat pump usage. Where solar heating is used, it is possible to invest in up to half the amount of panels normally required for a pool without a cover.
Reduce Debris Contamination
Debris such a leaves, dirt, insects and bird droppings are not only unsightly in a pool but also provide nutrients for algae and bacteria to feed on. When the pool is covered these contaminants will be kept out of the water, greatly improving the quality and appearance of the water.
Save Money
A Sol+Guard cover will save money by reducing water, energy, cleaning and chemical costs. The Sol+Guard pool cover will pay for itself in less than a year.
Warranty
The Sol+Guard cover has a 5 year pro rata warranty. The Sol+Guard™ and EnergyGuard™ materials are supplied in two UV formulations that are covered by our pro rata 5 year warranty.
Environmental Benefits
By reducing the amount of energy needed to heat and filter your pool water, a Sol+Guard cover will greatly reduce your CO2 footprint. It also conserves water and, at the end of its life, a Plastipack cover is 100% recyclable.
