Built for the Perth Sun
Perth summers are the harshest in Australia on a pool blanket: the strongest UV and the highest evaporation of any capital city.
Our Australian-made covers contain higher levels of UV stabilisers and antioxidants than typical imported covers, providing stronger long-term protection against damage from the sun and pool chemicals. — see our guide to Australian-made vs imported covers

Pool Cover Benefits
One Pool Cover - Many Benefits
A cover will offer all pool owners multiple benefits. The durability of our covers means you can enjoy these benefits for years to come.
A summary of the main benefits will include those shown below:
To enjoy those benefits you will need a good and reliable roller in order to deal with the cover on a daily basis. We offer a range of well designed and thoroughly tested roller models to suit various pool sizes and design style preferences.
- A longer and more enjoyable swimming Season
The gain in average water temperature can transform how your pool is used. You can start swimming much earlier in the swimming season (and also much later).
You will also be tempted to use your pool much more often during the regular swimming season.
- Almost total elimination of evaporation water loss
Most Australian pools suffer serious daily water loss from evaporation, especially during summer.
A good cover will almost eliminate evaporative water loss altogether (by around 98%). This not only saves cost, it saves work and stress having to constantly monitor the pool’s water level during dry periods.
- Less work with leaves - You can even use a garden blower
A pool cover can make a dramatic difference to the work of dealing with leaves. A pool cover will keep leaves “above the pool” and out of the water.
If leaves do not just later “blow away” in the next strong wind, you might just “blast these away” occasionally with a garden blower. Not even an option without a cover.
- Reduced chemical and treament expenses
You can expect a cover to eventually pay for itself from savings on other pool costs. Putting a cover on a pool is one-step away from having an indoor pool.
With care, you can certainly reduce filter running times, chlorine dosage and other chemical requirements.
How does a pool actually lose heat?
Your pool will gain significant heating from the effect of sunlight simply striking our pool cover. But further heat gain benefits result from the ability to “retain heat”.
Most pool owners do not realise how much pools can “chill” every day (and especially overnight) by heat lost from evaporation alone.
Worsening the situation – the warmer you pool gets, the greater the evaporation and heat loss. Water temperatures far lower than ideal are the natural result.
Why Quality Matters
Don't Waste Work & Money
- Wasted, Early, and Repeated Expenses
Experienced pool owners agree: Investing in a high-quality pool cover is a smart decision.
- While cheaper options may need replacement every 18-36 months, superior covers can last nearly a decade. This longevity not only saves money in the long run but also spares pool owners the frequent hassle of purchasing and installing new covers.

- This longevity not only saves money in the long run but also spares pool owners the frequent hassle of purchasing and installing new covers.
Cover Quality - How Other Covers Fail Early:
- Poor Quality Ingredients - Covers Damaged Quickly by UV and Pool Chemicals
- Poor Quality Ingredients - Covers Damaged by UV and Pool Chemicals
While various pool covers may appear similar, such as “blue plastic bubbles,” they can be made from substantially different ingredients. This significantly impacts the cover’s performance and durability.
Our covers utilize an optimal combination of anti-oxidants (to resist damage from pool chemicals) and UV inhibitors (for years of protection in outdoor sunlight).
- Poor Design From the Start
Each brand of pool covers has its own distinctive bubble profile, which plays a crucial role in determining its lifespan.
Our bubble design is optimized for performance and maximum durability, a level of detail often overlooked by other manufacturers.
- Rapid, Poor Quality Manufacture
To save costs, inferior covers often employ overly rapid manufacturing techniques and pay little attention to quality control. This compromise typically leads to lower cover quality and durability.
The material formulation of our covers, particularly the anti-oxidants, results in a high-quality and consistent product after the high-temperature molding and formation process.
- Australian Covers Universally Better than Imports
Based on our experience, all Australian-made pool covers are significantly more reliable than imported covers, which are primarily sourced from China and available online through forums such as eBay, Temu and Catch.
Of course, there is nothing inherently wrong with products made in China. However, when it comes to pool covers, these products are manufactured at the lowest possible expense, resulting in severely compromised quality. Such covers should be treated as “semi-disposable,” requiring frequent replacement, accompanied by substantial work and mess each time.

Perth Pool Cover Guide
Choosing a Pool Cover for the Perth Sun
Start by choosing a micron grade — under the Perth sun, the grade decides how long your cover lasts, and the pro-rata warranty tells you honestly what to expect.
GradeWarranty
Pro-rataTypically
Used For
As a guide, our Australian-made solar covers run from $14 per square metre (250 micron) to $25 per square metre (600 micron top-of-range) — your exact price depends on your pool’s shape and size. Our Pool Cover Wizard gives you an instant figure in under a minute. Compare those rates with any pool shop retail quote and you’ll see how we offer both better value and advice.
Also available: 5 mm foam thermal covers from $39/m² — Our solar covers already provide excellent insulation and help retain pool heat. Our thermal covers take this a step further. They are most often used on pools heated by a heat pump, where reducing overnight heat loss is more important than gaining heat from direct sunlight.
A pool cover pays for itself fastest in Perth
Perth has the longest, hottest and driest summer of any Australian capital — and the highest pool-evaporation rates in the country. Left uncovered through the dry months, a backyard pool can lose several centimetres of water a week: for a typical 8 × 4 m pool that’s around 1.6 kL, and over 30 kL across a Perth summer.
What makes that expensive is WA’s tiered water pricing. The Water Corporation charges more per kilolitre the more your household uses — currently $2.11/kL up to 150 kL, $2.81/kL to 500 kL, and $5.26/kL beyond that. Topping up an uncovered pool is exactly the kind of usage that tips a household into the top tier.
A floating cover changes the equation: a near-impermeable layer on the water surface cuts evaporation by 97%+, keeps your water up to 8°C warmer, and — because far less top-up water enters the pool — your chemicals go further too.
How long does a solar cover last in the Perth sun?
It depends almost entirely on the grade. Cheap imported blankets are notorious in Perth conditions for going brittle and shedding bubbles within a couple of summers. Ours are Australian-made with UV stabilisers matched to Australian conditions. Our plastics formula is designed to help resist damage from pool chemicals. The pro-rata warranties — from 3 years for our entry-level cover to 12 years for the 600 and 610 micron ranges — are an honest indication of the service life each grade is built to deliver, provided the cover is properly used and the pool is not harshly over-treated with chemicals.
If you want a cover that shrugs off the Perth sun for a decade, choose 550 micron or above.
Warranty & Peace of Mind
Every cover carries a pro-rata warranty matched to its grade — 3, 5, 8, 10 or 12 years — backed directly by Pool Express: no store visits, our own team handles every claim.
Pool Express is by far Australia’s leading retailer of ABGAL pool covers — Australian-made, and the same brand WA pool shops themselves stock.
