📋 How it works

Lo-Chlor Solar Shield is a liquid pool blanket that forms an ultra-thin, invisible barrier across the water surface — reducing evaporation by up to 30% and retaining heat without the hassle of a physical pool cover.

Unlike traditional pool blankets, Solar Shield requires no rolling, no storage, and poses no entanglement risk for children or pets. It's fully certified under the SPASA AustralianClimate Care program — independently verified for energy and water savings.

Lo-Chlor Solar Shield details

  • Forms an ultra-thin invisible barrier that reduces evaporation and heat loss
  • SPASA AustralianClimate Care Certified — independently verified performance
  • Safe alternative to physical pool covers — no entanglement risk for children or pets
  • Once-a-month application — 250ml treats 50,000L for up to 30 days
  • 1L bottle provides 4 months of treatment for a standard 50,000L pool
  • Compatible with all pool surfaces, sanitiser types and automatic pool cleaners
  • Does not affect water chemistry or chlorine levels

Solar Shield pairs naturally with Lo-Chlor Winteriser Algaecide at pool close — together they reduce both heat loss and algae risk over winter with minimal maintenance effort.

❓ FAQ
How does a liquid blanket actually work?
Solar Shield contains a very thin layer of isopropyl alcohol-based compounds that spread across the water surface and form a monomolecular film — effectively a barrier one molecule thick. This film slows the rate at which water molecules escape into the air (evaporation) and reduces the rate at which heat radiates from the water surface. It's invisible, breaks apart when you swim, and reforms within minutes.
Does it replace a physical pool cover entirely?
For most pool owners in temperate climates, yes — Solar Shield's evaporation and heat retention performance is significant. However, a physical pool cover prevents debris entry and achieves slightly better overnight heat retention in very cold climates. Think of Solar Shield as the low-maintenance alternative, not an inferior one.
Will it affect my automatic pool cleaner?
No — Solar Shield's efficiency is not affected by automatic pool cleaners. The film reforms quickly after disturbance.
Is it safe for children and pets?
Yes — Solar Shield is non-toxic and SPASA certified. The invisible barrier poses no entanglement or drowning risk, which is a meaningful safety advantage over physical pool covers.
How much water and energy will I actually save?
Results vary by climate, pool size and conditions, but independently certified data shows up to 30% reduction in evaporation and measurable improvement in heat retention. For a heated pool, the savings on gas or electricity costs typically offset the product cost within the first season.
