Swimming Pool Covers

Plastipack Ltd is a leading global supplier of high-performance swimming pool cover materials.

The inventor and exclusive manufacturer of GeoBubble™ materials, Plastipack prides itself on its superior manufacturing quality and continuous investment in innovation, research and development.

Why should I cover my pool?

At a time when energy prices are continually increasing, simply covering your pool will save energy, time and money. By covering your pool, you will prevent 98% of evaporation, saving approximately 21,780 litres* of water – equivalent to 270 baths, or over 87 thousand cups of tea.

Studies from the US Department of Energy have shown evaporation is responsible for 70% of the heat loss from an outdoor pool. By covering your pool whenever it’s not in use, you can save enough energy to power your TV for 5 hours a day for 95 days, or 112 15-watt light bulbs for a year 24 hours a day*.

*Based on an 8x4m pool (41,600 litres) in the pool season (182 days a year) in the UK.

High Performance Guard Materials

Our High-Performance Guard range of products provide additional specific benefits, dependent on a pool owner’s needs.

Each product is designed to return the cost of investment through savings provided by the cover’s performance within the first year of use. Every Guard material has a 6 year plus expected lifespan.

Each of the guard products has been developed and tested here at Plastipack and in their intended markets to offer the highest possible performance at their specific function.

Sol+Guard was engineered to provide the best possible solar gains, helping to heat the water in the pool.

EnergyGuard Selective Transmission will also provide excellent solar gains, while also helping to prevent algae growth in the swimming pool.

We introduced CoolGuard Ultra to the range in order to provide a solution for those pools in more tropical environments, where pool owners are looking for a way to keep their pool water cool.

The newest addition to the range is RaeGuard. This product was introduced to the market as a cost effective alternative to traditional heat retention covers.

Adding the complete range to your product lines means offering solutions for every pool user. Read more about these products at our GeoBubble brand website.
