Finally here it is! BLUE / BLACK 500u - F KASABubble Technology!! Guaranteed to heat your pool quicker compared to cheaper blue 400u - F standard bubble covers. If it’s not KASABubble technology then it’s not KASABubble What is KASABubble technology? It is a innovative bubble 500μ - F ( Not 400μ - F ) that has been scientifically designed to increase the expected lifespan of swimming pool bubble cover material by up to 25%*. The science behind KASABubble technology Swimming pool covers are exposed to high Ultra Violet (UV) radiation and chemical attack. KASABubble material has been designed specifically for use in this environment to help make it resistant against these attacks. A traditional bubble cover materials original design was developed from the packaging industry, which is a high volume, low quality packaging bubble material which only has a short life-span. Because of this, traditional bubbles have several inherent weaknesses in their material size, including thin points and high residual stress. Thin points in a bubble design are weak points which are quickly broken down by UV and chemical attack. The degradation process is accelerated in areas of high stress, as these areas are under constant strain. These factors result in the bubble material breaking down, and ultimately, premature failure of the swimming pool cover. Blue-black cover features a blue top layer and a black bottom layer that provides a discreet look while the color BLACK is maximising the absorption capabilities from sun’s warming rays in the shortest time, and then transferring absorbed heat back into the pool. This results in quicker heat up. What makes KASABubble materials unique? Extra large 500μ - F Materials ( Not 400μ - F ) The material contains less stress due to the smooth interconnected curves The overall thickness of the KASA design is more than a tradititional 400u - F bubble Increased resilience against UV and chemical attack Why does the KASA shape have a large footprint? The design has a much larger footprint than most traditional bubble materials to allow for expansion of air in the bubble shape. The stiff waistline section makes the bubble strong enough to hold expanding air and will not stretch and burst under pressure. The large footprint also acts as an insulator, retaining heat in the pool, plus helps the cover stick to the water so it cannot be blown off the pool. What is a stabilisation package? Ultra Violet (UV) rays are emitted by the sun and are partly absorbed by the Ozone layer. UV light is destructive not only to the human skin but also to many manmade materials including polyethylene and plastic products. Unless such materials are specially treated, they become faded and brittle if exposed to UV light and chemicals. So the bubble design alone will not stop premature failure of a swimming pool cover. This package dramatically increases the lifespan of the swimming pool cover material by helping to make it more resistant to UV light and chemical attack. In combination with the unique KASA technology bubble, this radically increases the longevity of the product. How was the KASABubble design developed? The 500μ - F bubble design has been developed over many years in collaboration with many different manufacturers. This synergy between academic and industrial knowledge has enabled the design of the best swimming pool cover material available. Along with the bubble design research has also gone in to the use of the best additives, stabilisers, and anti oxidant package, with the aim to provide the best performing and longest lasting swimming pool bubble cover material on offer. “The new KASABubble design has been engineered to give increased stiffness to the form and increased life for the product. This has been done after careful analysis of the shape, material and manufacturing process. The final bubble form is attractive and also has more uniform wall thickness and much less internal stress” KASABubble Technologies Specifications 500 Micron Blue Black Solar Cover Colour Blue Up Black Down Size 5m*10m Polyethylene Film Dual Extruded U.V.
