1. Product Description

Pool Safety Cover

Function: Safety & protection.

Features: Very strong, light, and thin. Protects pets and children from drowning. Offers strong safety, good load-bearing capacity, and high permeability.

Swimming Pool Solar Heating Cover

Function: Heating to keep warm and increase water temperature.

Features: The blue solar cover pool blanket can heat pool water up to 10°C (18°F). Made of polyethylene material, its bubbles face down on the pool water when not in use, absorbing sunlight during the day and retaining heat at night. This helps raise water temperature, reducing energy consumption for heating and minimizing heat loss from water evaporation. The material has strong UV resistance to inhibit deterioration.

Pool Winter Cover

Function: Anti-freeze and dust-proof.

Features: Made of laminated polyethylene sheets and woven with thick high-density polyethylene stitching for excellent tensile strength and durability. Designed for winter swimming pools to prevent freezing, dust, and debris. Very durable in harsh winters, these covers are typically used for above-ground swimming pools to protect against dust and frost.
