Swimming Pool Solar Covers & Heat Retention Covers

A solar cover is essential and should be on the surface of the pool at all times times when you are not swimming.

A solar cover allows a build up of free heat from the sun during the day and it will also act like a blanket to keep heat loss to a minimum overnight.

There are many grades of solar cover, and generally, the thicker the cover, the greater will be its heating properties and its lifespan.

Solar covers can also save you money by helping to prevent pool chemicals from evaporating into the atmosphere. 

If the bubbles on your current solar cover have started to burst and/or the cover is  'flaking' or de-laminating, you need to replace it immediately. 

Need a specific size? There is a charge for shaping, and a cut out charge and shaping for a bay. Ensure you review what's available to you in the Finishing Options section, and then send us an email: sales@dolphinpools.co.uk - we'll be happy to help.

Manufactured in the UK, the Midas 500 cover is made from innovative GeoBubble cover material. The GeoBubble design withstands chemical and UV attack, resulting in an expected increased lifespan of 25% +. Two bubbles are joined together by a thick waistline structure, resulting in a larger bubble footprint area that is more resistant to air expansion, reducing the stress on the material which leads to increased lifespan. Compared to a traditional bubble's weakest points, the material is 50% thicker. This thicker material will take longer to break down, increasing the life of the cover.
