Cover Options
Solar Covers & Foam Heat Retention Covers
At Gareth James Pools Ltd, we supply and install two highly effective heat-saving cover options — each designed to improve efficiency and extend your swimming season.
1. Geobubble solar cover
Why use a bubble cover with GeoBubble™ technology?
-Save water -Retain and add heat -Reduce chemical demands -Reduce debris -Save money -Recyclable
An outdoor swimming pool loses 70% of its heat through evaporation. This water loss is not just a consumptive waste of a vital resource worth preserving but a costly one. Evaporation is an energy consumptive process reducing the temperature of the pool. By simply covering your pool, 98% of evaporative losses are prevented, the pool is insulated and debris entering the pool is reduced. Covering the pool will retain the water resource, increasing temperature within the pool and reducing chemical consumption.
High Performance bubble cover material
High performance 500 micron Guard products are bubble cover materials scientifically designed to yield maximum savings in respect of heating or cooling and chemical consumption when covering a swimming pool.Guard materials have a 6 year+ expected lifespan on a correctly balanced pool*, with a 6 years pro rata manufacturer’s warranty. The Guard products are formulated with a unique additive package to ensure this lifespan is met. Based on in-field research in collaboration with two British universities, a Guard pool cover will have paid for itself in only one year, given the savings achieved on the pool’s maintenance costs / overheads.
Always keep the pool water within the recommended Industry standards range to ensure your bubble cover’s lifespan and warranty is not compromised.

Heat retention Foam Cover
Our foam heat retention covers are a high-performance solution designed for pool owners who want maximum efficiency, superior insulation and long-term durability.
Unlike traditional bubble-style covers, foam covers are manufactured using multiple layers of insulated closed-cell foam, engineered specifically to minimise heat loss. Because evaporation accounts for the majority of heat loss in a swimming pool, these covers create a highly effective thermal barrier across the entire water surface, dramatically reducing temperature drop overnight.
The increased insulation performance helps:
Constructed with reinforced seams and a durable outer finish, foam covers are built for longevity and daily use. They offer a more substantial, robust feel compared to traditional covers and are particularly suited to heated pools where performance and efficiency are a priority.
Each cover is precision-measured and custom-manufactured to fit your pool exactly. We also supply compatible manual or automated roller systems to ensure smooth, safe and effortless operation.
For homeowners looking to maximise energy efficiency, improve heat retention and protect their investment, foam heat retention covers offer a premium, high-performance solution.

The increased insulation performance helps:
- Retain significantly more heat compared to standard solar covers
- Reduce energy consumption from heat pumps or boilers
- Lower ongoing heating costs
- Extend the swimming season
- Maintain a more consistent water temperature

SmartGear
|
An incredibly innovative product, the SmartGear 3:1 ratio gearbox makes light work of winding heavy solar covers onto a reel.
Neat, compact and maintenance free,SmartGear costs a lot less than a new reel and does the job of an electric reel. Essentially, it is easy to both install and use and is made from high quality materials that are self-lubricating and corrosion resistant. It also makes winding a pool cover onto a reel remarkably easy and it does not matter whether you are a child or a grandparent – you are guaranteed to find it incredibly easy and light to use. We are confident that once you have tried our SmartGear 3:1 ratio gearbox you will never go back to anything else and with its fantastic reliability and corrosion resistance, you will probably never have to. If you have a Monaco Reel that still has years of use left in it but you are finding it harder and harder to wind a cover off the pool, then SmartGear really is a very cost-effective answer. Easily retro-fitted, it comes with all necessary fixings and instructions. |
