MacBall Heat Saver Thermal Pool Covers & Reel Systems

Thermal Pool Covers 

The MacBall Heat Saver Pool Covers are high-quality, made-to-measure thermal pool covers for your Residential, Spa, Commercial, or School swimming pool.  Coombes Aquatics Limited has been custom-making these durable thermal pool covers in their Christchurch workshop for over 35 years, with many customers on their 2nd and 3rd pool blankets.    

Features of Every Blanket:

  • Tailor-made: Custom-fitted to your pool dimensions.   
  • Durable Material: Made with a UV-resistant polyethylene Blue outer and crosslinked polyethylene foam core. 
  • Heat Retention:  Traps in the days generated heat.  
  • Reduce evaporation:  Saves valuable water and minimises chemical loss.   
  • Weighted Edging: Prevents covers from blowing away in the wind. 
  • Warranty: Comes with a 3-year manufacturer warranty.
  • Watermark Approved: Meets Australian Standards for quality and performance

The thermal efficiency of the MacBall covers results in an approximate  2-3 year payback cycle for a cover lifecycle of 7-10 years,  depending on the climate.  Coombes Aquatics manufactures the MacBall thermal pool cover for the New Zealand market in our Christchurch workshop and distributes them in the Australian market.
