Rarely the cheapest. Always worth the price.

Let’s be honest: we’re not the cheapest option. But thin profiles, cheap colour pigments, glued end caps and short warranty periods only seem to pay off in the short term — and will be a source of frustration for years to come.

The comparison

What really matters.

Point by point — ROLLO SOLAR versus the market standard.

Saving energy
Less heat loss, less evaporation.

A cover placed over the pool reduces evaporation and heat loss. The solar panels from Design Cover PC can transfer additional heat into the pool water when there is sufficient sunlight.

The extent of the potential savings depends on the specific pool, its location and how it is used. We offer a bespoke model calculation Energy Check.

Solar heat gainwhen there is sufficient sunlight — without requiring any additional heating energy to generate this heat
Less evaporationwhen the cover is closed — day and night
Long-term useReduced heat loss can extend the swimming season
A safe pool cover as emergency protection
Safety

Safety that floats with you.

The closed cover is designed to withstand a total load of up to 100 kg and, when fitted with a suitable surrounding support or handrail, enhances accident prevention. The pool cover is not a walkable surface and does not replace the duty of supervision.

  • ✓Increases protection against falling in
  • ✓No open water whilst away
  • ✓Locked via radio control or key switch

Important: A cover increases safety, but does not replace the duty of supervision.

Tip: For added safety, make sure you include a ledge or a handrail in your plans.
