With the New EnergyGuard black thermal blanket you will maximise pool temperature while inhibiting algae growth. Thanks to this innovative, lightweight filtration material you will optimise temperature performance and save on chemicals. By improving solar energy collection and inhibiting algae growth, the material achieves the most effective balance between solar energy collection and reduction of chemicals and filtration time. It thus becomes the most innovative cover to date.
The material's navy blue bubble layer is designed to absorb UVA and visible light vital for photosynthesis. It also allows the transmission of infrared wavelengths through the material to directly heat the water mass.
The selective transmission properties of the New EnergyGuard black thermal blanket increase water temperature in an efficient and sustainable way. Tests in the UK have shown a temperature increase of up to 5°C, and it is believed that this figure can be as high as 7°C in warmer climates.
The opacity of the material at visible wavelengths inhibits algae growth. Also, the ability of the coating to block ultraviolet light means that less chlorine is lost through photolysis. This results in chemical savings and reduced filtration time.
