Maximise solar gain and extend the life of your pool cover, even in the harshest climates.
The Sol+Guard 180 represents the next generation of solar pool covering technology. Building on the market-leading performance of the standard Sol+Guard range, the 180 model is specifically engineered for endurance. It combines exceptional solar heating capabilities with a reinforced chemical composition, making it the definitive choice for pools exposed to extreme sunlight and UV radiation.
We can supply any size cover. Please note that these covers are currently taking approximately 10 working days for delivery. Please call us for a more accurate lead time.
Why Choose Sol+Guard 180?
While standard solar covers perform well in moderate conditions, intense sunlight can degrade materials over time. The Sol+Guard 180 addresses this with a robust upgrade in material science.
-
Superior UV Resistance: The 180 model features an increased concentration of protective additives (1.2% compared to the standard 0.99%). This fortification provides a stronger shield against photo-oxidative degradation, significantly extending the lifespan of the cover.
-
Engineered for “Sun Traps”: If your pool is located in an area with zero shade, or if you own a property overseas in a high-UV index region, this cover is built to withstand that intensity without becoming brittle or breaking down prematurely.
-
Maximum Solar Heating: Like the standard model, the transparent material allows solar energy to penetrate deep into the pool water, increasing temperatures by up to 8°C purely through solar gain.
We recommend that you have a rectangle of the maximum length and width of your pool, even for shaped pools. The solar cover material is easily cut to shape on site with a sharp pair of scissors. But if you prefer factory shaping please call or email us for a price.
- Specially formulated for various climate conditions, depending on UV weathering intensity
- Translucent, so allows maximum amount sunlight to pass through for increased heat gain
- Raises pool temperature by up to 8oC
- Reduces evaporation by up to 98%
- Reduces energy costs by over 70%
- Reduces chemical loss through evaporation by up to 40%
Give your cover an edge with a Leading Edge Towing System for the effortless application of any cover. Made from tough foam-filled netting, it will not fill with water and will keep the cover buoyant at all times.
The “DIY” leading edge can be fitted at home. It simply involves piercing holes in your cover, fixing the foam section and webbing onto the cover with press-fix connectors and then fixing the rope. We also offer a Factory Fitted Towing Kit which is attached in the factory.
