High Quality Solar Fabric

Extend your swimming season and reduce heat loss with this high-performance solar pool cover.

Designed to float directly on the water’s surface, it helps retain the heat accumulated during the day, limit evaporation, and reduce water, chemical, and energy consumption.

Its robust construction from virgin polyethylene, extruded bubble technology, and reinforced seams make it a durable solution for inground and above-ground pools.

Keep the heat longer

The solar cover acts as a thermal barrier on the pool’s surface.

It helps to:

• Capture solar energy during the day
• Retain accumulated heat
• Reduce heat loss overnight
• Maintain a more stable water temperature
• Reduce heater operating time

Results may vary depending on sunlight, outdoor temperature, wind, duration of use, and the area of the pool covered.

Reduced evaporation

Evaporation is a major source of water and heat loss in a pool.

By covering the pool surface, this solar cover helps:

• Reduce water loss
• Limit frequent refills
• Retain more heat
• Reduce chemical loss
• Stabilize the water balance more easily

For optimal efficiency, the cover should cover as much of the pool surface as possible.

Extruded bubble technology

The cover is manufactured using a continuous extrusion process that forms a durable bubble structure.

This technology helps:

• Reduces the risk of delamination
• Improves handling resistance
• Maintains the cover’s thermal properties
• Provides greater durability
• Withstands regular use in a pool environment

The bubbles must be placed directly against the water during installation.

100% virgin polyethylene

The cover is made from virgin polyethylene to provide a uniform and durable structure.

Main benefits

• Good resistance to UV rays
• Resistant to normal chlorine exposure
• Lightweight and easy to handle
• Consistent thermal performance
• Durability suited to seasonal use

However, an excessive concentration of chemicals can prematurely damage the cover.

Reinforced hot-air seams

The cover sections are joined using approximately 1-inch hot-air welds.

These reinforced welds help:

• Keep the sections securely joined
• Improve resistance during handling
• Reduce the risk of separation
• Extend the cover’s lifespan

Manufactured using a North American process

The cover is manufactured using a continuous extrusion process with automated peripheral welding.

This method is intended to ensure:

• Consistent manufacturing quality
• A uniform structure
• Good resistance season after season
• A durable finish
• Greater reliability with regular use

Protects against debris

In addition to its thermal properties, the solar cover helps limit the entry of certain debris into the pool.

It can help reduce the buildup of:

• Leaves
• Insects
• Dust
• Small windblown debris

However, it does not replace a robotic cleaner, winter cover, or safety cover.

Suitable for several types of pools

This solar cover can be used with various installations:

• In-ground pools
• Above-ground pools
• Residential pools
• Certain commercial pools
• Round pools
• Oval pools
• Rectangular pools
• Free-form pools

The cover can be cut to follow the shape of the pool.

Installation

1. Unroll the cover over the pool surface.
2. Place the bubbles directly against the water.
3. Allow the material to relax before cutting.
4. Position the cover correctly.
5. Gradually cut it to match the shape of the pool.
6. Leave a small gap around the walls to make handling easier.

For large pools, using a solar cover reel is strongly recommended.

Usage instructions

To extend the cover’s lifespan:

• Cover the pool when it is not in use
• Remove the cover before shock chlorination
• Wait until the sanitizer level returns to normal before putting it back
• Never leave the cover folded or rolled up directly in the sun
• Use a protective cover on the solar reel
• Do not drag the cover across concrete or an abrasive surface
• Remove the cover before winter

Reusable storage bag included

The cover comes in a sturdy polypropylene bag.

This bag makes it easier to:

• Transport
• Off-season storage
• Protection against dust
• Organizing the cover during the winter

The cover must be clean and completely dry before being stored.

Main benefits

• High-performance solar cover
• Contributes to the natural heating of the water
• Reduces heat loss
• Limits evaporation
• Reduces heating requirements
• Helps reduce chemical consumption
• Extruded bubble technology
• 100% virgin polyethylene
• Reinforced hot-air seams
• UV-resistant
• Suitable for in-ground and above-ground pools
• Can be cut to fit the shape of the pool
• Reusable storage bag included
