PC vs. PVC —
What is the difference?
Free heating
with solar energy.
The Solar variants of Design Cover PC & PVC harness the principle of the greenhouse effect: solar rays pass through the transparent upper profile, are absorbed by the dark underside and heat the pool water by up to 3 °C per day — entirely without energy costs.
