Saltwater Systems
Solar Blanket
Solar blankets utilize the heat from the sun to extend your season and raise the average temperature of your swimming pool with no ongoing costs.
Solar covers can raise and hold the temperature of your inground or above-ground swimming pool. Reducing the energy cost and minimizing the water evaporation.
Each solar blanket can be specified in one of two options:
Upgraded – Your solar cover is factory trimmed, edge bound, and has re-inforced reel eyelets, boom pocket, and pull-out ropes. Upgrade features make our solar blanket more durable, easier to use and more attractive.
Site Trim – An oversized sheet of bubble plastic is supplied and trimmed to shape your pool. It is left with a raw edge. The cover is connected to the reel using cords and plastic butterfly clips. This option requires significantly less factory labor, so provides an entry-level option for those on a tighter budget.
Soltetgo solar blanket covers have a thermal resistance (R) value of 0.067 and virtually eliminate evaporation. This enables solar blanket covers to save up to 70% of the pool heating energy requirements
Thermal Blankets
Thermal Blankets are the ultimate heat retention option. They retain heat, and they do it very well. If you are serious about heating your pool with a desire for higher temperatures and a long swim season then in New Zealand the bulk of your heat will be coming down the pipe from an external heat source.
Duokote Thermal Blanket has superior heat retention capabilities to keep expensive heat in the pool. If you want a heated pool, a Duokote cover translates into huge energy savings.
Duokote has a thermal resistance (R) value of 0.094 sqm K/W and virtually eliminates evaporation. This enables a Duokote cover to significantly reduce pool heating energy requirements.

Saltwater & Mineral Systems
How Salt Water Chlorinators Work
Salt water chlorinators sanitize your swimming pool by using electrolysis and turning salt into chlorine, amazing as it sounds but it’s been around for years, yes you still have a chlorine pool but a much healthier alternative to chlorine tablets.
Having a Salt Chlorinator continually producing chlorine reduces the risks of waterborne infections such as Crypto, E. Coli, and Giardia making it a much safer swimming experience.
The salt and minerals stay in the body water and will only need topping up after heavy rainfall or filling the pool with your garden hose, it’s a continuous cycle.
Salt and minerals, In more pleasant to swim in
That means those using your pool will be less likely to suffer from skin irritations, red eyes, and respiratory issues due to the reduction of irritating chloramines.
A saltwater chlorinator makes it much easier to control the chlorine level in your pool compared to tablets, making it a safer swim and a natural product. It leaves the water softer for a more luxurious swim.
Another big factor with salt systems is that you can also control your sunscreen / cyanuric levels compared to chlorine tablet systems.
How they work
- A saltwater system uses electrolysis to separate salt and water molecules
- The process creates chlorine, which sanitizes the water
- Saltwater systems may require less maintenance than chlorine systems
Benefits
- Softer water
- Lower maintenance costs
- Healthier swimming experience automatic sanitization of water
- Fewer chloramines are produced, which cause itching skin and a chlorine smell
- Lower overall cost compared to traditional chlorine
