Light-filtering technology helps inhibit algae growth while keeping your pool warmer. Now reinforced with graphene, Gen2 EnergyGuard™ delivers the strength of a thicker cover in a lighter, easier-to-handle 16-mil design.
Not all sunlight works the same way. EnergyGuard’s midnight-blue material lets warming near-infrared light pass through to your pool while absorbing much of the visible light algae need to grow. It’s a smarter way to use the sun for warmer water and less algae.
Graphene nanoplatelets blended throughout the polymer reinforce the cover from within. It’s the same award-winning selective-transmission material, now with 20% less polymer and the strength of a 20-mil cover in a 16-mil film.
If your last solar cover turned brittle or began falling apart after a season or two, traditional round bubbles may be part of the reason. Their shape concentrates stress at vulnerable points, while the patented GeoBubble™ design distributes stress more evenly across the material.
In a 70-day outdoor trial, Plastipack tested three identical 11,000-gallon pools side by side: one with Gen2 EnergyGuard™, one with the original EnergyGuard™, and one uncovered. No heaters, just the sun.
The results? Warmer water, even through cooler weather, and less than half the chlorine needed for the uncovered pool.
Every day your pool sits uncovered, evaporation can cost you water and heat. Gen2 EnergyGuard™ helps reduce those losses and can cut down on chlorine use, too. Tell us a little about your pool to see what you could save.
Traditional bubble covers can become brittle, tear, and leave those familiar blue flakes behind. Gen2 EnergyGuard™ is built differently, combining patented GeoBubble™ technology with graphene reinforcement to help resist wear from UV exposure, pool chemicals, and everyday use. With material rated to −13°F, it’s engineered for durability beyond the summer months.
Available in a wide range of sizes for round, rectangular and freeform pools. Simply size up and trim for a custom fit.
Your GeoBubble™ cover deserves hardware built to the same standard, engineered to work together for smoother operation and easier handling.
A buoyant leading edge that makes solar cover handling a one-person job. The PVC-coated edge floats your cover across the water with a single pull cord: no dragging, no walking the perimeter. It trims to fit your pool.
A heavy-duty pool cover reel built for premium covers. Die-cast aluminum construction handles the weight of a thick GeoBubble solar cover: smooth, one-person uncovering, sized to your pool.

Not terribly expensive, helps a lot to keep the pool warm, was easy to cut to size. Arrived promptly. It would be best on a reel, but it is light enough - though unwieldy- to fold in half and then fold again (and once more) to pull out of a rectangular pool with one person. This is not the purpose of the cover, but be forewarned, any debris (leaf litter, pinecones, etc.) will just sit on top and fall into the pool when you remove the cover. It’s definitely not meant for keeping the pool clean.
This is the best pool cover I could find. I have been through two different lighter and cheaper pool covers that have disintegrated in 2 to 3 years. My new cover is 20 mil thickness, and it shows! It lays flat as a board across my pool. I have a solar heater system, also from Solarpoolsupply.com, which gives some great pool temperatures despite 50 degree nights. My pool is 12x24 ft, 8000 gallons, and averages 3 to 4 degrees temperature loss during the evening in late October, but with sunny days, I can have pool temperatures close to 90 degrees! I use a reel to easily retract and install this cover. For what you pay to have, maintain and enjoy your pool, this cover is worth the price. I love this cover!
The pool temperature has not changed since the cover was installed.
Extremely pleased with this solar cover it has absolutely made a difference in maintaining the temperature and adding temperature to the pool, customer service is also a spectacular had some issues and they resolved it right away highly recommend getting one of these solar covers for your pool
Thanks, very good service and beautiful cover
The pool cover has made a huge difference in our energy consumption, chemicals and evaporation. It works great and is easy to use.
We have had it installed for a couple of weeks and have already noticed a difference with the maintenance of the pool temperature. We would also recommend the Rocky system because it is easy to roll it up and out.
This solar cover is by far the best one we’ve had on our pool. It’s heavier than anything else we’ve bought. It keeps the water warm and keeps out debris. The customer service was great!! I had an issue with the cover and Zach took care of the problem. He was very prompt with his responses and fixed the issue satisfactorily. Thank you for making a great product and following through with fantastic customer service.
So far so good but I have only had it a couple months.it is definitely a huge upgrade from. the traditional solar covers that I have used over the year's.now it's just a matter time to see how well it holds up over the next couple of year's.
Excellent product that produces a lot of heat and prevents heat loss over night. Very happy with cover.
I’ve only had the cover for a few weeks. It’s very sturdy and heavier than any other cover I've had. I did run into an issue with some of the bubbles. They were very quick to respond and took care of the issue to my satisfaction. Great customer service.
Very thick! very nice ! holds heat in really well! Would not hesitate to buy again.
Quality cover, thanks!
Great product so far. Incredible strength. Let's see if it actually lasts the 8 years they say it does though.
We have a 17' Hydropool Self-Cleaning Swim Spa. After much consideration, we moved from an End2End Rolling cover to the Solar Pool Energy Bubble cover. 1-) the E2E, while providing good coverage for the entire spa, it trapped moisture causing the control panel to short out (2 in 4 years @ $2K a pop) and 2-) condensation collected in the cover, which just seemed unhealthy when it drained back into the spa. Our 2 concerns about the Energy Bubble, was 1-) if the cover would jam or causing the self-cleaning mechanism of this swim spa to malfunction: which as seen in the 2 attached photos, by securing both ends of the cover, has not been an issue, and 2-) how to manage the constant sun exposure of the rubber neck pads and spa walls...which we are still working on. So far we love the Energy Bubble cover, it has reduced our energy bill to keep the water at a perfect temprature and alot easier to manage than the bulky E2E cover. We are very happy and recommend the Energy Bubble to other swim spa owners.
This is the strongest and most heat producing solar pool blanket I’ve ever had. Needed that in my retirement! There was enough extra over the dimension I purchased to have an extra strip to go under my diving board and leave the reel up against the end of the board for convenience. Don’t feel like I might tear it when I have to pull it out and put it on by myself. I can even do it from in the water in the middle of the deep end by myself!
My old one sank on the edges so it pooled water on top to evaporate. This one floats high and is very easy to roll up and pull off the roller.
very heavy duty and solar heats the pool too well
The cover is much better than the "premium" blue cover it replaced.
Seems to be very well made and hoping that it will last many years. Much sturdier than the typical "bubble wrap" solar covers. Like that a sun shade is provided to inhibit UV damage.
Ask me again next season. I haven't had enough time with it to see if it works longterm.
Great cover. First try with a heavy dark cover and so far I love it! Saves more water temp at night!! Thanks
Highest quality pool cover I have ever purchased. Looks like it should last a lot longer than the other products, which feel much flimsier than this one.
Recently purchased this solar pool cover and so far, we're very pleased. We'd purchased some a few years ago from other companies but they were not long lived in the Arizona sun. It did work to keep the pool water warm but the small blue bubbles came off the backing and ended up making a huge mess. We purchased this one from Solar Pool Supply because it was thicker (20 mm) material, appears to be better made and the design is both different and unique. Am happy with our purchase.
i was very skeptical about spending so much on a cover for our little bestway pool from costco, but the cover we had on it last summer was so flimsy and annoying and was not a heating cover so i was desperate for anything better. i was honestly surprised at how much this heats our pool! granted our pool is only 3 feet deep so a deeper pool might not heat up as much from just the cover, but it definitely makes a huge difference for us! and i like how thick it is and that it floats on the water. i just wish they made a reel for the 12 foot round cover, as it is very cumbersome to take off and put back on due to the thickness. it's fairly impossible to actually "fold" very nicely when taking it off the pool. but we are ok dealing with that bc of the benefits!
Stiff and sturdy.. floats on top of the water. Rolls up nicely on reel unlike all the other ones I have had. It’s because it’s rigid. This keeps more debris out than all the other ones I have tried also.
We have only had our cover for about a month and we love it so far. We are hopeful it will last for longer than the previous covers we have owned!
Fast shipping. Great cover - very thick plastic.
It has worked great in my granddaughter's inflatable pool to keep the water at a more comfortable temperature to play in. For the price I paid, am hoping it will last for years.
Working like advertised
We have had our pool cover on for the last 3 weeks and it is keeping the pool warm and the water clear.
I'm very happy with the strength of the cover. This is so much heavier weight than my other covers. The extra money for this cover is well worth it.
It kept the algae out while not in use. It is heavy and high maintenance. I would say it only gave the pool 4 degrees warmer.
Perfect weight and easy cutting to fit swim spa. Nice to leave on while thick covers off during the day.
The fit was perfect. It hasn’t even been used since I installed it.
Perfect for my pool
Does a good job of upping and keeping the temperature of my above ground pool. I was gone for 10 days and it was very hot. NO ALGAE when got home! Very pleased. Just hope I can keep the mice away come winter.
Absolutely the best solar cover that we've ever purchased,
Looks solid and works nicely.
This is the best pool cover, I wasn’t going to purchase because a little more than others. We have a pool heater and it has cut down on the amount it runs, saving us $$. The cover has also has saved us cleaning time. Once again way different from the rest.
