The 3 Custom Pool Covers We Offer
Whether your priority is slashing commercial energy bills by 40%, preventing pool water evaporation, or securing an ASTM-certified child safety barrier, we custom-fit the perfect cover for your pool.
Spectrum Custom Thermal Pool Covers & Reel Systems
Approximately 70% of total pool heat loss is due to evaporation. Covering an indoor or outdoor pool when not in use immediately provides 50% to 70% energy savings, reduces annual make-up water by 30% to 50%, and delivers $5,000 to $7,000 in annual chemical savings on commercial pools.
12×12 woven HDPE fabric with 3.0 mil UV protection, flame-laminated to 1/8" irradiated closed-cell PE foam.
Butt-welded seams withstand ~320 lbs/in tensile force with zero needle perforations, preventing water absorption.
- Weighted Tubular HDPE Edging: Contains flow holes to hold cover securely in desert winds with zero cracking
- Building & HVAC Protection: Reduces humidity, condensation, and corrosion on exposed metals and beams
- Custom Trimmed: Reinforced cutouts for stairs, ladders, grab rails, and spas
- Warranty Options: Available in 3-Year, 5-Year, 6-Year, and 7-Year Welded Warranty options
Dual flame-laminated layers of 3.0 mil UV-stabilized polyethylene encapsulating an irradiated cross-linked EVA foam core—engineered to lock in water temperatures and eliminate up to 70% of evaporative heat loss in Arizona's extreme climate.

How We Custom Measure Your Pool
No pool is too complex. From Olympic 50-meter lap lanes to intricate freeform resort lagoons with zero-entry beach ramps and swim-outs, our engineering process ensures an exact fit.
Regular & Geometric Pools
For standard rectangular, Roman, or Grecian pools, we measure overall length, width, and precisely document every rail, ladder, and stair protrusion offset.
A-B Triangulation Method
For curved and irregular freeform perimeters, we establish a fixed 20'+ baseline ("A-B line") and record dual triangulation distance points every 2–3 feet with diagonal cross-checks.
Precision Custom Templating
For intricate custom spas and rock features, 1:1 physical sheet templating and digital grid modeling ensure a millimeter-perfect fit for any contour.
