THERMAL BLANKETS & ROLLERSDESIGN CRITERIA & TECHNICAL DETAILS When heated pools are left uncovered, the water temperature can drop by as much as 6 degrees C overnight. User experience indicates that the Swimplex thermal blanket reduces this drop to approximately 1 degree or less. By reducing these losses you create a more comfortable environment for bathers which can result in increased patronage. 
SWIMPLEX TRANSTHERMAL POOL COVER RESISTANCE TO WIND LIFT
The Swimplex thermal blanket employs a unique wind retention skirt system as an option. That consists of a flexible weighted rope contained in a UV stabilised polyester webbing double stitched the full length of the blanket edge. The webbing itself is heavier than water and when combined with the weighted rope it hangs down causing partial submersion of the blanket outer edge, preventing wind lift and drifting into scum gutters or onto wetdecks. ADVANTAGES OF FOAM SANDWICH BLANKETS OVER AIR BUBBLE TYPE.
The foam sandwich blanket has a better thermal coefficient value than the air bubble- type resulting in better heat retention performance. The foam blanket has a slick under side which allows it float on and off the pool without carrying excess water. This allows the blanket to be deployed and retracted with greater ease. It is not critical that the foam blanket be stored under cover. As it is not transparent it will not over heat like the air bubble type when left stored on the roller in direct sunlight. LIFE EXPECTANCY OF COMPONENTS
It is estimate that the life expectancy of the components will be as follows.
• Blankets 5 - 10 years
• Rollers 15 years. SUPPLY AND INSTALLATION TIME
The supply and installation time can be expected to be 3 - 5 weeks from placement of order. Transthermal Blankets & Rollers(jpg) |
