With the new black EnergyGuard cover, you’ll maximize pool temperature while inhibiting algae growth. Thanks to this innovative lightweight filtration material, you’ll optimize 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 the reduction of chemicals and filtration time. This makes it the most innovative coverage to date.
Selective transmission
The material’s navy blue bubble layer is designed to absorb the UV and visible light vital for photosynthesis. It also allows infrared wavelengths to be transmitted through the material to directly heat the mass of water.
Increased solar energy collection
The selective transmission properties of the new black EnergyGuard roof efficiently and sustainably increase the water temperature. Tests in the UK have shown a temperature increase of up to 5ËšC, and it is believed that this figure could reach 7ËšC in warmer climates.
Saving chemical products and reducing filtration time
The opacity of the material in the visible bands inhibits algae growth. In addition, the coating’s ability to block ultraviolet light means that less chlorine is lost through photolysis. This results in savings on chemicals and a reduction in filtration time.
Algae inhibition
It is now possible to maximize pool temperature and prevent algae growth at the same time. This material filters out light, so you no longer have to choose between temperature and the use of chemicals. Offering optimized solar gain, EnergyGuard Selective Transmission material provides the best balance between solar gain reduction, chemical use and filtration. It is the most innovative solar thermal blanket available today.
