Solar Pool Covers

Turn sunshine into warmer water and lower heating costs. The Cover Guy Solar Pool Covers naturally heat your pool, reduce evaporation, protect your pool from debris and cut chemical loss to help you extend your season without increasing your energy bill.

Available in five performance levels to match your climate, budget, and efficiency goals.

Benefits of a Solar Cover for Your Pool

  • Raises & Maintains Water Temperature: Solar bubbles capture and transfer heat directly into your pool, helping increase and stabilize temperature naturally by up to 10 degrees
  • Reduces Nighttime Heat Loss: Acts as an insulating barrier to prevent rapid temperature drops after sunset
  • Minimizes Water Evaporation: Less evaporation means less refilling and reduces water consumption 
  • Lowers Chemical Costs: When water evaporates, chemicals go with it. Reduce evaporation, reduce chemical spend.
  • Keeps Debris Out: Helps prevent leaves and debris from entering your pool when not in use. Less skimming, less maintenance.
  • Extend Your Swim Season: Open earlier. Close later. Get more out of your investment.

Solar Cover Reels

  • One-Person Operation: Smooth bearings and balanced design allow one person to manage the cover easily.
