Bubble covers

Geobubble bubble or isothermal covers

The solar cover or bubble cover (or isothermal cover) is used as soon as the swimming pool is put into service in the spring and until the end of autumn for Southern regions.

It has a number of advantages: limits evaporation, keeps the water clean, heats and maintains the water temperature, and reduces water consumption, heating and maintenance products. It is ecological and economic.
Produced to-measure and therefore adapted to your pool, the solar cover floats on the water and has 2 different sides:
• Water side: the bubbles act as thermal insulation.
• Visible side: UV resistant.
The thickness of the bubble cover is a selection criterion and corresponds to the thickness of the polyethylene film (bubbles not included). It is expressed in microns (1 micron = 0.001 mm). ALBON proposes 400 or 500 micron bubble covers.
The cover thickness is important. The thicker the cover, the higher the quality. If it is too thin, its service life will be shorter.
Albon proposes 3 bubble cover qualities:
• Round 12 mm bubble (standard) in 400 μ.
• OXO - Alternating bubble shapes, round and X, in 500 μ.
• Geobubble™ - "Double-dome” bubbles, in 500 μ.

These qualities are available in 10 colours, 4 finishes and 3 qualities for a cover adapted to your needs and your budget.

OXO structure:
Endurance performance:
An innovating shape composed of two complementary bubbles designed for endurance thanks to its even thickness.
Insulation performance:
A bubble that optimises its floating on the water thanks to a flat contact. Reduced thermal exchanges (no water penetration). Optimised bubble surface area for effective insulation.
Thermal performance:
More effective dispersion of Uvs into the water using more marked curves.

The Geobubble™ technology
The Geobubble technology is a unique, patented design of two bubbles assembled one with the other by a central section, it has:
• no protruding corners in the design (thereby eliminating thinner and weaker areas),
• no residual constraints in the material due to soft curves that link two bubbles.

Geobubble™ covers are designed to give you extended service life. They make you save money, water and energy. They improve UV radiation and chemical attack resistance.

The colour choice.

Our cover offer is available in several colours. This criterion is not just a decorative choice, it is also quality-related: the colour choice is for the underside of the cover (not visible), the clearer the cover, the more it will trap the infrared rays and the more it will be able to heat the water.

Classic Blue and OXO
Prevents the water from cooling due to low nocturnal temperatures and wind

Blue/Black and EnergyGuard™
Limit photosynthesis
Limits photosynthesis and therefore the formation of algae, makes water treatment products more economic.

Blue/Silver
Strengthen the cover’s thermal efficiency
Increases the cover’s thermal efficiency and limits pool water evaporation.

Blue Transparent Sun Energy, OXO and Sol+Guard™
Increase the water heating capacity
Increases water heating capacity by the sun’s rays, limits the need to use a water heating system.

New EnergyGuard™
Combines all the advantages
This both opaque and transparent hybrid cover has a good solar yield, prevents algae growth, keeps heat in and eliminates evaporation.

Choice of finish.

a choice of 4 finishes, for a cover perfectly suited to your needs. The Eco finish (without seam) is only recommended for small pools. On larger pools, we recommend the Duolis finishes (seam around the widths and selvedges) for better rolling and Quatro (with seam around the entire perimeter) for greater strength. Thus finished, the cover can also be rolled onto one of our rollers.
