Selecting the right material for you? What is the difference between foam and bubble covers?
The bubble cover, often referred to as a solar blanket, enables free sustainable energy to be transferred to the water via the cover, resulting in a rise in water temperature.
Heating and running costs are lowered as a result. A foam cover works as an insulating lid.
The material is manufactured using foaming agents or radiating the material to create small air bubbles within the material.
This helps to retain the heat that is added to the pool via the heating system however no additional energy will be transferred to the water other than that generated by the heat pump.
The difference in performance between the two depends largely on the foam thickness.
This is because both a bubble cover and a foam cover prevent evaporation which is the greatest cause of heat loss in the swimming pool and both use air to insulate the swimming pool surface. So both provide a similar heat saving.
