Geobubble 500 Micron Sol+ Guard Cover

What Is a Sol+Guard 500 Micron Cover?

The Geobubble 500 micron Sol+Guard swimming pool cover is a premium, highly transparent solar blanket designed to maximise solar gain while reducing heat loss and water evaporation. Its advanced design allows more of the sun’s rays to pass through the cover, helping to naturally heat your pool water for free.

Benefits of Using a 500 Micron Sol+Guard Cover

Solar Heat Retention

The Sol+Guard cover captures the sun’s energy and transfers it directly into your pool water, helping to naturally raise and maintain the water temperature. Its highly transparent material, with a subtle blue tint on the underside, allows high levels of solar energy to enter the pool while still providing excellent insulation.

Advanced GeoBubble Technology

The Sol+Guard cover features innovative GeoBubble figure-8 technology, where each bubble is formed in a figure-8 shape rather than a traditional round design. This creates two air pockets instead of one, allowing stress to be distributed more evenly across the cover and significantly reducing weak points. This design helps minimise bubble splitting and material fatigue, extending the overall lifespan of the cover. As a result, GeoBubble covers can last up to 25% longer than traditional round-bubble solar covers, while maintaining excellent heat retention and long-term performance.

Durable 500 Micron Thickness

With a thickness of, the Sol+Guard cover offers excellent strength and tear resistance. The added thickness allows it to withstand regular use, UV exposure and pool chemicals, while maintaining reliable heat retention and long-term performance.

Reduced Water Evaporation

Pool water evaporates quickly without a cover. The Sol+Guard solar cover dramatically slows evaporation, saving water and stabilising pool chemistry for fewer top-ups and less chemical use.
