Pool Covers
Pool covers for in-ground and above-ground pools. Most are bubble solar blankets in blue, silver or black, sold alone or with an adjustable roller.
The range also has covers for small above-ground pools, floating solar film, pool enclosures, a pool dome and clip-and-strap kits.
What thickness of solar pool cover should I buy?
Thicker covers last longer, so 500 or 600 micron suits most backyard pools.
| Thickness | Good for | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| 400 micron | Lower cost, lighter to handle | Thinner bubble layer |
| 500 micron | Everyday family pools | Pick blue or blue-silver |
| 600 micron | Long-term use | Heavier to roll up |
| Floating film | Round or irregular pools | No bubble layer |
What size pool cover do I need?
Measure the water surface at its longest and widest points, then pick the closest size up.
Blankets run from 6.5 x 3m to 11 x 6.2m. You can trim a bubble blanket with scissors to fit curves and steps.
Do I need a pool cover roller?
A roller is worth it on any pool you uncover often, because it saves dragging a wet blanket.
Rollers are adjustable and sized at 4m, 5.5m and 6.55m. Match the roller to the pool width, not its length. Many listings bundle the cover and roller together.
Does a solar cover keep the water warm?
Yes, the listings describe solar blankets as letting sun heat into the water while reducing evaporation.
They also keep out leaves and debris. Put the cover on when the pool is not in use for the best result.
Are there covers for above-ground pools?
Yes, there are PE and PVC covers made for 3 x 2m, 4 x 2.1m and round 3.05m and 3.66m pools.
Check your pool's model size before ordering, as these covers are cut to fit. For full coverage, round PVC enclosures and a 440 x 220cm pool dome sit over the whole pool.
How do I attach a cover to a roller?
Use clips and straps to join the blanket to the roller tube.
A set of 8 replacement clips and straps is available if the originals wear out or go missing.
Can I pay it off?
Yes. Pay with Afterpay or Zip, or check out with PayPal. A $279.94 pool cover with roller is four fortnightly Afterpay payments of $69.99.
