Enviro-Bubble Pool Cover
Reduce Pool Evaporation with Eco-Friendly Year-Round Protection
An eco-friendly alternative to traditional solar pool covers, the Enviro-Bubble is designed to block sunlight, reduce algae growth, save water, and cut down on chemical use. Its fully opaque, UV-blocking design acts like a physical lid over your pool — limiting evaporation and preventing algae from forming in the absence of light. As a result, chemical requirements are significantly reduced (often by more than 50%), helping to lower the daily running costs of your pool.
What Is the Enviro-Bubble Pool Cover?
The Enviro-Bubble Pool Cover is a fully opaque, eco-friendly cover designed to reduce pool water loss caused by evaporation while limiting algae growth and chemical use. By blocking sunlight and wind exposure, it helps conserve water in hot or dry conditions where evaporation is highest.
Made from durable 500-micron polyethylene, it has an expected lifespan of 3–5 years and is backed by a 5-year warranty, making it a practical choice for water-conscious pool owners.
Features & Components
Blocks Sunlight
The Enviro-Bubble’s fully opaque design blocks 100% of sunlight, preventing algae growth before it starts. This keeps your pool cleaner, reduces chemical degradation, and lowers maintenance requirements.
Reduces Evaporation
By forming an insulating barrier over the water, the Enviro-Bubble reduces evaporation by over 95%. This helps conserve water, maintain chemical balance, and reduce running costs for your pool.
Leading Edge
The Leading Edge makes operating your pool cover simple and hassle-free, allowing a single person to roll or unroll the cover with ease. This improves usability and encourages consistent covering — which is essential for maximising evaporation reduction.
Storage Roller
The Storage Roller provides a convenient and effortless way to store your pool cover when not in use. Saving space and preventing damage, while making it quick and easy to deploy or remove the cover whenever needed.
Best Suited For
Pool owners concerned about water loss. Reduce evaporation and unnecessary top-ups.
Eco-conscious homeowners looking to save water, chemicals, and energy.
Heated pool owners wanting to retain warmth and reduce running costs.
Families seeking low maintenance pools with cleaner water and fewer algae issues.

Product Features
- Opaque 500-Micron Material – no UV penetration, no algae growth
- Evaporation Control – 99% water loss reduction
- Chlorine Preservation – keeps chemical balance stable
- Heat Retention – helps maintain warmth in heated pools
- Low Maintenance – reduces cleaning and debris collection and electricity use
Easy to Use & Low Maintenance
One person can easily fit or remove the Enviro-Bubble. The lightweight material can be folded away or rolled onto a storage roller.
Less debris, less algae, and more stable water conditions mean less cleaning, less filtration time, and lower ongoing maintenance.
Maintenance Tips:
- Rinse & clean Regularly – Remove debris and chemical residue to maintain performance.
- DO not leave off the pool in the sun for extended periods Store the cover when not in use.
- Remove during winter months – Extends its lifespan.
- Proper Handling & Storage – Use the Storage Roller and avoid dragging over rough surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a Enviro-Bubble pool cover?
Yes — especially in South Africa. High temperatures and wind cause significant evaporation from uncovered pools. A pool cover reduces water loss, limits chemical evaporation, and helps lower electricity use by keeping water conditions more stable.
How does Enviro-Bubble save water?
By forming a fully opaque barrier over the pool, the Enviro-Bubble blocks airflow and sunlight at the water surface. This dramatically reduces evaporation, meaning the pool needs far less topping up over time — particularly during hot or windy weather.
Is evaporation the main cause of pool water loss?
Yes. For most swimming pools, evaporation is the biggest source of ongoing water loss, not leaks. Water loss that increases during hot, dry, or windy conditions is almost always caused by evaporation rather than structural issues.
Will a pool cover reduce electricity costs?
In many cases, yes. Cleaner water and reduced evaporation allow for shorter filtration times, especially outside peak swimming season. This can help lower overall electricity use over time.
What makes Enviro-Bubble different from a solar cover?
Enviro-Bubble does not heat the water. Instead, it blocks light to prevent algae growth and focuses on reducing evaporation and water loss. Solar covers allow sunlight through, which can increase temperature but may still allow algae growth if water chemistry drops.
How often should I keep the pool covered?
For best results, the pool should be covered whenever it is not being used — especially overnight and during hot or windy days when evaporation rates are highest.
Does Enviro-Bubble come with a warranty?
Yes. The Enviro-Bubble includes a 5-year reducing warranty, based on correct care and chemical exposure.
