1. Solar Pool Blankets
Quality solar bubble blanket lets sunlight warm the pool water
- Transparent to solar radiation, lets the sun directly warm the pool water.
- The closer to the surface, the hotter the water will become, so best to run the filter occasionally to mix up the water.
- Drastically reduce the heat and chemical loss due to evaporation, and wind loss, and also radiated heat loss during the night.
2. Thermal Pool Blankets
Thermal pool cover for best heat retention
- Thermal pool covers are insulating covers that keep the pool warmer by reducing heat loss.
- ThermoTech™ foam pool covers are made from 3mm thick, cross linked Polyethylene (PE) closed cell PE foam.
- Blanket consists of three layers and is flame-bonded on both sides to a UV-stabilised, waterproof, non-toxic and chemical resistant woven material called Canvacon.
- The double-sided encasing allows it to be inverted, resulting in significantly extending its lifespan.
