Bubble cover or pool bar cover, which to choose?

Bâche à bulles ou bâche à barres piscine, que choisir ?

The choice between a bubble cover and a bar cover depends on your specific needs. If your goal is to retain heat in the water, opt for the bubble cover. However, if you want to ensure the safety of your pool, the bar cover will be more appropriate. We will explain in depth how to make your choice based on your requirements.

Selecting the type of cover according to your needs

The choice between a bar cover and a bubble cover depends on your expectations. These two types of covers have different functions. We offer you a comparative table to help you decide.

If you already have a security system in place and you are looking for a cover to heat the water during summer, the bubble cover is preferable, as that’s its primary function. If safety and year-round protection is what you want, the bar cover will be more suitable.

Heating your pool with a bubble cover

The bubble cover is specifically designed for thermal insulation. The bubbles capture heat and help maintain water temperature, especially in sunny weather.

Lightweight and easy to handle, it can be stored on a specific roller. However, it is important to note that it does not in any way constitute a safety measure for the pool and does not prevent accidental falls. Consult our guide to learn more about choosing a bubble cover.

Protect your pool with a bar cover

Designed to ensure pool safety, the bar cover is built to support the weight of a person, making it a safety cover. More resistant than a bubble cover, it provides optimal protection for the pool and is made to withstand bad weather.
