Gen2 - The Next Generation of Pool Covers

GeoBubble Didn't Just Improve Sol+Guard. They Reinvented How Premium Solar Pool Covers Are Made.

For decades, stronger pool covers have almost always meant using more material. This translates to;

• Thicker covers
• Heavier covers
• Harder-to-handle covers

Gen2 challenged that assumption.

Working alongside material scientists, polymer specialists, and manufacturing partners, GeoBubble engineers developed an entirely new graphene-enhanced material that delivers the strength of a premium 20 mil cover while using 20% less polymer.

The result is a cover that's lighter to handle, easier to roll, easier to install, and engineered to perform for years without compromising durability or thermal performance.

Redesigned For Performance. Refined For Sustainability.

Gen2 represents the next generation of pool cover materials, engineered to deliver greater performance, efficiency, and sustainability through advanced material science. By integrating cutting-edge graphene technology and improved polymer formulation, the Gen2 concept redefines what’s possible in pool cover design: stronger, lighter materials with no compromise on lifespan or performance.

Created in collaboration with leading suppliers and material science experts, Gen2 brings together the latest advances in polymer engineering and composite design. The outcome is a high-performance material offering greater strength, enhanced flexibility, and stronger seals — all while using 20% less polymer than conventional covers.

Sol+Guard™ Gen2 is the first in a new generation of pool covers—an evolution of our industry-leading transparent material. It uses 20% less polymer, creating a lighter, thinner cover that is easier to handle, while still delivering the same class-leading solar performance.

Gen2 represents a smarter, more sustainable approach to pool cover innovation, designed to meet the demands of today’s industry while protecting the resources of tomorrow.

What Makes Gen2 Different?

By integrating graphene nanoplatelets into advanced polymer formulations, Gen2 achieves a material with significantly enhanced strength and durability. Graphene’s ultra-thin, hexagonal carbon structure provides exceptional tensile resilience, superior heat transfer, and resistance to chemical degradation.

Stronger Material
Graphene improves the internal structure of the material, making it more resistant to tearing and stress, while also being thinner and lighter.

Improved Thermal Performance
Graphene helps disperse heat more efficiently across the cover, transferring warmth into the water and improving solar gain.

Reduced Environmental Footprint
By using 20% less polymer, we reduce the material’s carbon footprint – cutting CO2 emissions during both manufacturing and end-of-life.

8 Year Lifespan
Greater resistance to heat and chemicals helps reduce material breakdown over time, maintaining our industry-leading product longevity in harsh pool environments.

Why Graphene?

Graphene is one of the strongest engineered materials ever developed.

Today it's found in aerospace materials, high-performance sporting equipment, advanced electronics, and next-generation composite materials because it delivers exceptional strength while adding very little weight.

GeoBubble engineers incorporated graphene nanoplatelets into an optimized polymer structure, allowing Sol+Guard Gen2 to achieve:

• Greater tear resistance
• Higher puncture resistance
• Improved flexibility
• Better thermal regulation
• Longer-lasting mechanical integrity

All while using 20% less material.

Think of Gen2 Like a Performance Sports Car

The fastest performance cars aren't built by making them heavier.

They're built by making them stronger while removing unnecessary weight.

Gen2 follows the same engineering philosophy.

Rather than adding more plastic to increase durability, GeoBubble re-engineered the material itself—creating a lighter cover with the strength of a traditional premium cover.

That's smarter engineering.

Not simply more material.

Proven Through Real Testing

Gen2 wasn't developed through computer simulations alone.

It was validated using:

• Instrumented test pools
• University collaboration
• Mechanical testing
• Accelerated UV weathering
• Chlorine exposure
• Thermal cycling

Plus Everything You’d Expect From a Sol+Guard™ Cover

Solar Gains	Energy Savings	Evaporation Control	Chemical Reduction	Debris Prevention
Raises Water Temp By Up To 14°F	Cuts Heat Pump Use By Up To 80%	Prevents Over 98% Of Evaporation	Reduces Chemical Use By Up To 40%	Reduce Debris In Your Pool

Sol+Guard™ is a high-performance solar pool cover designed specifically to maximize solar gains, and heat the water of the swimming pool. By raising pool temperatures by up to 14°F, this best-selling solar pool cover material helps to save energy, money and reduce the environmental impact of your pool.

SOLAR GAINS

The Sol+Guard™ transparent solar pool cover material transmits 80% of the sun’s energy in the visual and IR spectrum through the material to heat the water and basin of the swimming pool. Tests in the UK have shown temperature increases of up to 6°C and testimonials from hotter climates estimate up to 8°C (14°F) above the ambient pool temperature, reducing the heating demand by up to 70%.

HEAT RETENTION

Sol+Guard™ works to retain heat overnight thanks to the patented GeoBubble™ air cells which work to insulate and mitigate against heat loss. Some heat loss overnight is inevitable but Sol+Guard™ works to rapidly raise the temperature of a pool during daylight hours thanks to its excellent solar energy transmission properties.

EVAPORATION

Sol+Guard™ reduces water lost through evaporation by working as a barrier between the water’s surface and the atmosphere. By simply covering the pool with a GeoBubble™ solar pool cover, evaporation is reduced by over 98%, resulting in the preservation of the water resources and increased temperature within the swimming pool.

DEBRIS CONTROL

Covering your pool with a GeoBubble™ solar pool cover prevents dirt, leaves, insects and other debris from entering the pool, maintaining a clean, pleasant swimming environment and reducing chemical demand.
