| | | | Dear Pool Owner
As summer continues, we'd like to turn to the topic of sustainability and how adding a pool cover will fast track your route to becoming a more conscious homeowner with a pool that has been optimised from an environmental aspect. This means a pool that uses less electricity, less water and less chemicals. Backing up the argument is the math. Below you will find the latest scientific insight into how a pool can be not just lighter on resources but actually carbon negative with the use of a GeoBubble cover. There has been a broad range of testing on pools in various conditions to back this claim. It really does mark a new era in the development of smarter, data-based pool cover material.
Not sure which GeoBubble cover to choose for your ongoing green journey? In short, EnergyGuard GeoBubble gives you the maximum savings on electricity while also heating the pool. Thermal GeoBubble is a slightly lower spec cover that significantly reduces maintenance while saving water, electricity and chemicals. Chat to our sales team for a more in-depth comparison. As always, if you have small kids and pets to keep safe, the PowerPlastics Solid Safety Cover is your go-to pool cover for peace of mind. This cover also gives you environmental benefits.
So make this the summer you got sustainable. The summer you got covered!

Managing Director | | | GeoBubble covers proven carbon negative
After undertaking an independently verified Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), we can proudly announce the first of our carbon negative products - EnergyGuard™ Selective Transmission, and Thermal GeoBubble. Alongside efforts made within the production and distribution processes to reduce carbon emissions, GeoBubble products can also work to save carbon emissions when in use on a pool. EnergyGuard™ Selective Transmission's unique benefits offer energy and resource savings that have a direct impact in reducing both the cost and environmental impact of running the pool.
... and here's the math!
Within its 6+yr lifespan an average EnergyGuard™ Selective Transmission cover will save 1,091KgCO2e in energy related carbon emissions.
The cover's ability to inhibit algae growth and act as a physical barrier to dirt and debris contamination can reduce the chemical consumption of a pool by up to 60%.
Saving 34kg CO2e per m² over the lifespan of the product, the EnergyGuard™ Selective Transmission is a proven carbon negative material. | | | | | Shop now! Join thousands of pool owners who are going carbon negative with EnergyGuard and, in so doing, making a real difference to sustainability.

"I had used PowerPlastics Pool Covers in the past for my EnergyGuard GeoBubble cover and was really impressed with their service and product. The time came to upgrade from our old pool net (standard safety netting) to a PowerPlastics Solid Safety Cover and wow, have I been even MORE impressed with Power Plastics' service! The quality of the product not only feels lux and expensive, it looks pretty posh too! The understated Stone-Grey colour has really elevated my pool area's decor - I feel like I am living in a hotel, instead of my house! I am very impressed with the functionality of the product - I am able to remove it way easier than my previous netting (no troublesome hooks!!!); and I find that the design keeps the pool much cleaner (the old net was always catching little bits of leaves and dust underneath it.) I have lived in my home for 14 years and have never swam on my own - it had always seemed a schlep to take the existing net off by myself. Since the installation of my Power Plastics Solid Safety Cover, I have used my pool more this summer than in all the years before! Ashley and his installation team were excellent and very patient in showing me how to use the ratchets - I am a Power Plastics customer for life! Can highly recommend this product & company!

An appeal for charity sponsorship Roger Bester, our managing director, and his son Alex have signed up for Calling Cape Town, the extreme triathlon challenge to raise funds for an ambitious low cost, high quality school in Stellenbosch. Participants swim from Robben Island to Sea Point on the day of the Cape Town cycle tour, then ride in the race and round the day off with a run of the three peaks (Devil's Peak, Maclear's Peak and Lion's Head). We're talking a mere 167km with over 4000 metres of vertical elevation gain.
Roger is appealing for sponsorship for this amazing initiative. If you would like to support him, please drop him a line on roger@powerplastics.co.za. For a bit of fun, try to guess what Roger and Alex's finished times will be. The closest prediction wins a discount of R3000 off your next pool cover order.
