A guide to the solar roof

Solar covers can not be neglected when it comes to your pool equipment relevant. While a pool can not function well without a pump or filter, you can go swimming without solar blanket. This is not a good idea, however, how the benefits of your pool cover well above the cost of buying one are.

Environmental factors are increasingly important in the management of swimming pools. This is particularly true in areas such as southern Spain, where demand exceeds local supply of water at first. In these areas, the ever increasing costs for water heating will be easier to justify the purchase of coverage.

The main source of energy loss in a pool with water evaporation from the surface of the pool. Cover the use of a solar system is a tight barrier between water and air. This barrier eliminates up to 98% of evaporation, which can in turn costs for chemicals by up to 60%. Other benefits include the water temperature increased up to 8 C, the inhibition of algal growth and the reduction of pollution and dirt in the pool.

The coatings are made of material similar to a huge "bubble" class. It differs from the typical plastic packaging bubbles to attack because they slow down much thicker and contains chemical inhibitors reduce UV light and chlorine. Filled the air bubbles create an insulating layer to prevent evaporation and heat loss, while the translucent material capable of raising the temperature of the water by the action of the sun.

To get the most out of your swimming pool bubble cover, there should be in the pool at any time, except when someone is swimming. It is dangerous to swim under the cover should always be removed when the pool is in use. The use of cover during the day will help raise the temperature of the water at night when evaporation is minimized. The time is at night when evaporation is greater than the greatest difference between water and air temperature.

Traditional sources of solar energy covers from 200 microns thinner material, usually for pool covers for pools used up to 400 microns thick and up to 500 microns. All weights are decorated with different colors from a blue and a blue top and silver on a black background transparent. Cover the most effective thermal protection are those with a back Siver funds because the water reflects heat, rather than lose the outside air.

Be the first half of 2012, a new type of solar cover is available. Made by Plastipack after five years of intensive research, this substance is Geobubble. Geobubble is the result of a collaboration between two major universities and Plastipack in a bubble, addresses the problems inherent in traditional generating bubbles.

The bubble shape was developed, has only rounded edges. A conventional bubble has some sharp edges, and it is these points of the bladder is relatively thin and therefore susceptible to attack at this point. Rounded, without thin spots and all edges, the new bubble should take at least 25% longer. Of new bubbles Geobubble 50% more often in the traditional vulnerabilities bubbles. The new Geobubble is maximized as the heat reflective silver + Platinum Solguard clear blue, the solar heat gain.
