The thermal pool cover
The Heat Retention Pool Cover, RaeGuard™ is engineered specifically to maximise heat retention through carefully tailored reflective properties. Identifiable immediately from its silver top layer and white bubble, RaeGuard™’s unique properties work to actively reduce heat losses from a pool’s surface by up to 57%. Ideal for indoor pools, spa and hot tub covers or applications where coverage is only possible at night.

Reflect, Insulate, Eliminate
RaeGuard™ has been optimised to increase reflection in the Mid Infrared reflecting thermal radiation back into the pool. Responsible for 20% of the total heat losses from a pool, slowing radiative heat losses from the water’s surface has a significant impact on heating demands.
The unique GeoBubble™ technology air cells provide buoyancy and create an insulative barrier to conductive losses from the pool.
Working as a barrier to evaporation RaeGuard™ eliminates evaporative losses by 98%. Covering the pool to guard against evaporation not only preserves water resources but prevents 70% of the heat losses from a swimming pool.

Prevent thermal losses from your pool
Unlike other bubble covers designed for adding solar gains to the pool. RaeGuard™ offers the ideal solution for indoor pools and applications where it is not possible for the surface to be covered throughout the day.
A heated pool covered with a RaeGuard™ cover will see a reduction in heating costs by up to 57%, when compared to an uncovered pool. This represents around 90% of the heat retention performance of a standard 5mm foam Heat Retention Pool Cover.
The RaeGuard™ balances performance and investment as demonstrated in the thermal images RaeGuard™ reduces losses without the traditional expense of a costly foam cover.
Save more for longer
It is the aim of our Guard high performance material to offer the highest performance at their specific functions for the longest lifespan possible.
RaeGuard™ has an 8-year expected lifespan on domestic pools. The UV protection formulated to ensure the materials withstand exposure to the harsh pool environment. We continuously test within our own accelerated weathering machine to ensure the product’s longevity. Our own lab testing is backed up by feedback from customers around the world.
Spa & Hot Tub cover
As an efficient and flexible cover RaeGuard makes a useful addition for any hot tub or Spa. The in this regard the cover works a dual purpose as an easily installed alternative to reinstalling the heavy weight hard covers between uses. When installed under the hard cover the RaeGuard™ will improve heat retention efficiencies and prolong the life of the spa or hot tub hard cover.

“We have found that the pool is much warmer in the mornings than it ever was before. The condensation we used to get on our walls and windows is a thing of the past, and we are paying noticeably less on our heating bills.
The Heat Retention Pool Cover looks great and we are really happy with how well it is working for us”
Richard – Cooden, East Sussex, UK
(Domestic Indoor Pool)
“Our new Heat Retention Pool Cover has been a massive improvement on our old, waterlogged foam cover. It is so much easier to take off and on, which we do multiple times a day. We have found that the pool is holding its temperature much better than before, and there is no noticeable heat loss overnight.
We have also noticed we are using up far less chlorine than previously, the clarity of the water has improved, and we are dedicating a lot less time to keeping the pool clean.”
Ross, Estate Manager – Dulwich Prep School Cranbrook, UK
I’m saving so much on my water and energy bills!
I use a RaeGuard™ cover for my hot tub. The cover helps keep the water warm and prevents evaporation. I’m saving so much on my water and energy bills!

Preserving a vital resource
Water is increasingly an unpredictable resource in availability and cost. GeoBubble™ technology pool covers work as a physical barrier reducing losses by up to 98%. Preserving a vital resource and preventing evaporative cooling. Across the life span of the RaeGuard™ has a potential water depletion avoidance of 25.7m³ per m² or 822,400L for an 8x4m pool over 8-years of use, assuming coverage 50% of the time.
Potential savings of up to 0m³ per m² of pool cover
Carbon Savings
Potential savings of up to 0KgCO₂ per m²
RaeGuard™ thermal heat loss cover is an excellent choice for pools where solar gains are not practical. Offering an attractive and efficient shield to slow thermal losses. The covers impact on a pool is no more clearly demonstrated then by our LCA Showing the net benefit in potential carbon reductions of using the high performance RaeGuard™.
