Geobubble 400 Micron Gen 2 Sol+ Guard Cover

What Is a Sol+Guard GEN 2 - 400 Micron Cover?

The Geobubble Sol+Guard GEN 2 400 Micron Swimming Pool Cover is a premium solar blanket designed to outperform the standard Sol+Guard cover. While the original Sol+Guard provides reliable heat retention and evaporation control, the GEN 2 version is a direct upgrade, engineered to deliver superior durability and a longer service life.

Manufactured using advanced GEN 2 GeoBubble® figure-8 technology, this upgraded cover offers enhanced puncture and tear resistance while reducing material fatigue and bubble splitting, ensuring long-lasting protection for your pool. Its highly transparent construction allows maximum solar energy to pass through, naturally heating your pool water while minimising heat loss and reducing evaporation.

Benefits of the 400 Micron Sol+Guard GEN 2 Cover

• Advanced GEN 2 GeoBubble® Technology

Unlike traditional round bubbles, the figure-8 bubbles of the GEN 2 cover feature a flatter profile and increased material thickness at key stress points. Each bubble forms two air pockets that distribute stress more evenly across the cover. This innovative design reduces bubble splitting and material fatigue, significantly increasing durability and extending the cover’s lifespan by up to 25% compared to standard round-bubble solar covers.

• Enhanced Puncture & Tear Resistance

The incorporation of graphene within the GEN 2 GeoBubble® structure reinforces critical stress areas, greatly improving resistance to punctures, tears, and bubble splitting. This results in a tougher, more resilient solar cover without adding extra weight or thickness.

• Durable 400 Micron Thickness

With a 400 micron thickness, the Sol+Guard GEN 2 achieves an ideal balance of strength, flexibility, and performance. Thanks to its graphene-enhanced GEN 2 construction, it provides durability comparable to a traditional 500-micron solar cover while remaining lighter and easier to handle during daily use.

• Solar Heat Retention & Reduced Water Evaporation

The Sol+Guard cover captures the sun’s energy and transfers it directly into your pool water, helping to naturally raise and maintain a comfortable swimming temperature. Its highly transparent material, featuring a subtle blue tint on the underside, allows high levels of solar energy to enter the pool while also providing effective insulation. At the same time, the cover dramatically reduces water evaporation, helping to conserve water, stabilise pool chemistry, and minimise the need for frequent top-ups and chemical use.
