Introducing Heat Guard 5mm by PSH — our new premium thermal pool cover designed to keep your pool warmer for longer, reduce evaporation, and dramatically cut ongoing heating costs.

A thermal pool cover is one of the smartest investments you can make for a heated pool. Often described as a blanket for your pool, it is the most effective way to insulate the water and hold in valuable heat. Once your pool is up to temperature, a quality thermal blanket like Heat Guard 5mm helps maintain that warmth by reducing heat loss by up to 75%.

It also dramatically cuts evaporation by around 95%, which means less water loss, lower chemical use, and reduced topping up. Chemical consumption can be reduced by up to 50%, and if you are running an electric pool heater or heat pump, the savings on power can be substantial.

Heat Guard is manufactured using a double reinforced 5mm multi layered construction, combining a waterproof closed cell polyethylene foam core with an impermeable base layer for excellent thermal performance and chemical resistance. This gives the blanket its durability, insulating properties, and long-term reliability in demanding pool environments.

For domestic pools, Heat Guard carries an 8 year pro rata warranty against UV degradation and a 12 month warranty against delamination.

Benefits include:

- Cut heat loss by 75%.
- Reducing total heating (solar, electric, gas, ) costs by 35%.
- Cut evaporation by 95% reducing your chemical consumption by up to 50%.
- Eliminates most corrosive condensation that forms with indoor pools.
- Better insulating properties than a bubble
- Ideal for all heated pools Caring for your solar pool cover

A new solar cover is very easy to look after, but there are a few key things that are important if you want to protect its life and performance.

Always use an over-cover when the blanket is rolled up or folded off the pool.
This is one of the most important steps. If the cover is left exposed while rolled up, it can overheat very quickly and cause what is commonly known as roller burn.

Keep your chlorine levels under control.
Chlorine should never exceed 3ppm. High chlorine levels can damage the blanket, reduce its lifespan, and may void your warranty.

Reduce your chlorinator output once the cover is installed.
If you have an automatic chlorinator, including salt or magnesium systems, the output should generally be reduced by around 50% once a pool cover is fitted. If your system is already on its lowest setting, reduce the running time instead. It is important to test your water regularly and make sure chlorine levels stay in the correct range.

Make sure the cover system is set up correctly.
If you are using a roller system, the blanket should sit and roll correctly so it does not drag unnecessarily across pavers, coping, or rough surfaces, as this can cause avoidable wear and tear.

A quality solar cover will do a great job of reducing evaporation, holding heat, and lowering running costs, but like any pool product, a little care goes a long way.
