Premium Sunmaxx 11mil Solar Fabric – Marine/Black

Extend your swimming season and reduce heat loss with the Sunmaxx Premium 11 mil Marine/Black solar cover.

Designed to float directly on the water’s surface, this thermal cover uses solar energy to help naturally warm the pool. Its bubble structure also helps retain accumulated heat, reduce evaporation, and limit leaves and debris from entering the pool.

Thanks to its superior thickness of 11 milWith its superior thickness of, the Sunmaxx cover offers an excellent combination of thermal performance, strength, and durability.

Natural water heating

The solar cover absorbs the sun’s energy during the day and gradually transfers it to the pool water.

Under optimal conditions, it can help increase the water temperature by several degrees and, depending on sun exposure, outdoor temperature, and conditions of use, up to approximately 10 to 15°C.

Actual performance varies depending on factors including:

• Sun exposure
• The outdoor temperature
• The starting water temperature
• The use of a water heater
• The presence of wind
• The length of time the cover remains on the pool
• The pool area covered

Sunbubble™ technology

Bubble technology Sunbubble™ traps thousands of air cells that act as a thermal barrier on the water’s surface.

This design helps to:

• Capture solar energy
• Transfer heat to the water
• Retain heat overnight
• Reduce heat loss
• Limit reliance on the heating system
• Maintain a more stable temperature

For optimal efficiency, the bubbles should be placed directly against the water.

Evaporation reduction

A large portion of a pool’s heat loss is caused by evaporation.

When it adequately covers the pool surface, the Sunmaxx cover can reduce evaporation by up to 95% under favorable conditions.

This reduction helps to:

• Keep more water in the pool
• Reduce the frequency of refilling
• Limit heat loss
• Reduce the consumption of maintenance products
• Maintain water balance more easily

Savings on pool heating

By reducing evaporation and heat loss, the solar cover allows the water heater or heat pump to run for less time to maintain the desired temperature.

Depending on the conditions of use, it can help significantly reduce heating costs, sometimes by up to approximately 70 %.

Actual savings depend on the climate, heating equipment, programmed temperature, and daily use of the cover.

Premium 11 mil thickness

The 11 mil thickness provides a more robust construction than many entry-level solar covers.

Key benefits

• Improved resistance to handling
• Increased durability
• Good heat retention
• Construction suited to regular residential use
• An excellent combination of performance and ease of use

To extend its lifespan, the cover should never be left in direct sunlight when removed from the pool and rolled up.

Marine/Black finish

The Marine/Black color combination offers a modern appearance and contributes to solar energy absorption.

The dark surface also helps limit the amount of light that passes directly through the cover.

Debris protection

In addition to its thermal properties, the solar cover helps reduce the amount of dirt that falls directly into the pool.

It can help limit the entry of:

• Leaves
• Insects
• Dust
• Small debris
• Windblown dirt

However, the solar cover does not replace a winter cover or safety cover.

Easy to cut and adjust

The Sunmaxx cover can be cut to match the exact shape of the pool.

It is particularly suitable for:

• Round
• Oval
• Rectangular
• In-ground
• Above-ground
• Free-form

For best performance, the cover should cover the largest possible area without extending over the pool edges.

Installation

1. Unroll the cover over the pool surface.
2. Position the bubbles directly against the water.
3. Let the cover relax before cutting it.
4. Gradually trace the shape of the pool.
5. Cut the cover with clean scissors.
6. Leave a small gap around the walls to make removal easier.

It is recommended to wait until the cover is properly positioned before making the final cut.

Recommended use

To maximize results:

• Cover the pool when it is not in use
• Put the cover back in place after swimming
• Use a solar cover reel to make handling easier
• Remove the cover before shock chlorination
• Wait until the sanitizer level returns to the normal range before putting it back on
• Do not leave the cover folded or rolled up in the sun without protection
• Remove the cover before winter

Solar cover care

To extend its lifespan:

• Rinse the cover occasionally with clean water
• Avoid contact with sharp objects
• Do not drag the cover across concrete or an abrasive surface
• Use a reel suitable for the pool's dimensions
• Cover the solar cover when it is stored on the reel
• Allow the cover to dry before storing it for the winter
• Store in a dry place protected from frost
