WHY COVER YOUR POOL?
You Already Paid for the Water in Your Pool.
Don’t pay for it twice.
Every day your pool sits uncovered in the sun and wind, water quietly
evaporates — and every litre that disappears is a litre you have to
buy again to top it back up. You also lose heat and unbalance your
pool chemistry in the process. A cover is the simplest way to stop
paying for the same water over and over.
Keep Your Water
Aqua-Net bubble pool covers cut evaporation up to 95%
while the pool is covered — fewer top-ups, less water bought
back that you already paid for once.
Keep More Heat
Aqua-Dome and Aqua-Bubble use solar energy to raise pool
temperature, while all four options help retain the heat
you’ve already got.
Use Fewer Chemicals
Less evaporation means less chemical loss and fewer chemicals to
replace. Enviro-Bubble also blocks sunlight, cutting algae growth
significantly.

Built for the Western Cape’s Water Reality
Cape Town’s dam levels are already running below where they’d normally
sit at this time of year, and the province’s own water authority has
confirmed a restrictions decision is coming in November 2026. Nobody
knows yet exactly what that decision will mean for pool owners —
but a covered pool is one less thing to worry about either way.
Think of it the same way you’d think about backup power during
load-shedding: you don’t wait for the crisis to get ready for it.
A full, covered, clean pool is water you already have — keep it that way.
Aqua-Net supplies and fits custom solar pool covers across Cape Town
and the wider Western Cape, from the City Bowl and Southern Suburbs
to Stellenbosch, Somerset West and the Winelands.
Independently tested. Keep the water you already have.
Less water lost means less to replace under restrictions.
Solar heating of up to approximately 8°C.
No standard-size guesswork — cut to your exact dimensions.

WHY AQUA-NET?
Buy Your Pool Cover From a Specialist
A pool blanket isn’t simply a sheet of plastic cut to size.
Material, UV resistance, fit, heating performance and warranty all
affect how well it actually protects your water over time.
Custom-Made Covers
Made for your pool rather than relying on standard retail sizes
that leave gaps evaporation can escape through.
500-Micron Materials
Reduce pool-water loss in South Africa’s hot, dry and windy conditions. Compare our 4 covers and request a custom quote.
Meaningful Warranties
Choose from reducing warranties of 1, 4, 5 or 7 years depending on the cover.
Why Not Simply Buy the Cheapest Pool Blanket?
Two pool covers can look identical online and still perform very
differently. Material thickness, UV stabilisation, fit, heating
ability and warranty all decide how much water and heat you actually
end up keeping.
The cheapest price per square metre isn’t always the cheapest cover to own.
A cover that fits badly or breaks down after one summer isn’t
saving you water — or money. Choose based on what you want from
your pool, not just the lowest number on the screen.

Solar Pool Cover Questions
How long does it take?
Lead time is 5–10 days.
Do you deliver?
Yes. Delivery fee: R300. Aqua-Net delivers within a 50km radius, and we use a courier for 50–150km. For 150km+, customers arrange their own courier.
Is there a Black Friday special?
Yes. 10% off the solar blanket price. The discount doesn’t apply to the R300 delivery fee.
Where do I send my order?
Orders go to Ronel: online@aquanet.co.za
Will a pool cover help if Cape Town brings in water restrictions?
Yes. Restrictions typically limit how much water you can use to top up, not how much you already have. A covered pool loses far less water to evaporation in the first place, so you need to top up less often — which matters a lot more once every top-up is limited.
Can I still use my pool under water restrictions?
In most cases, yes — restrictions generally target hosing, refilling and new filling rather than swimming in water you already have. Rules vary by municipality and by restriction level, so always check the City of Cape Town’s current guidance directly. A cover simply means you have more of your existing water left to use.
How much water could I actually save by covering my pool?
Independent testing shows solid and bubble-style pool covers cut evaporation by around 95%, and can reduce the amount of make-up water you need to add by 30–50% over a season. The exact figure depends on your pool size, local wind and how often it’s covered — but for most Western Cape homes it adds up to thousands of litres over a summer.
How do I measure my pool?
Measure the maximum length and maximum width of the water surface. Approximate measurements are enough to calculate an initial price.
Which solar pool cover should I choose?
Choose Aqua-Dome for maximum heating, Aqua-Bubble for a balance of heating and value, and Enviro-Bubble for water saving, algae control and the lowest maintenance.
Will a solar pool cover make my pool warmer?
Aqua-Dome can increase temperature by up to approximately 8°C, while Aqua-Bubble typically provides approximately 4–6°C. Enviro-Bubble does not provide solar heating.
What if my pool has an unusual shape?
Enter the maximum length and width to get started. Aqua-Net can confirm final shape and measurement requirements where necessary.
What warranties do the covers have?
Aqua-Dome has a 7-year reducing warranty, Aqua-Bubble a 4-year reducing warranty, Enviro-Bubble a 5-year reducing warranty and Tri-Bubble a 1-year guarantee.
Are these safety pool covers?
No. Solar and bubble pool covers are not safety covers and must not be relied on for child or pet safety.
Can I order my pool cover online?
Yes. Enter your pool dimensions, compare the four options and add your preferred cover to the cart.
