Unibad Automatic Pool Cover: Buoyancy and Thermal Insulation

In simple terms: when something is placed in water, it experiences an upward force that tends to push it back to the surface.

The Unibad Submerged Automatic Cover: How Does It Work?

The Unibad pool cover system harnesses this buoyancy principle perfectly. Each slat of the cover is designed to trap air inside. This trapped air keeps the slats light and allows them to float naturally on the pool’s surface.

– Natural Buoyancy: The air inside the slats creates a floating effect that lets the cover rise effortlessly to the water’s surface. This ensures easy installation and everyday convenience, without needing external force to bring the cover up.

– Ease of Use: This natural buoyancy makes the cover extremely easy to operate. It floats back up smoothly, making opening and closing the pool cover simple and stress-free.

One might wonder: if the cover floats so easily, how does it submerge when opening the pool? The answer lies in Unibad’s motorized system, which gently counteracts the buoyancy during retraction, allowing the cover to roll around its submerged axis.

The Air Inside the Slats: One of the Top 3 Thermal Insulators

Besides buoyancy, the air trapped inside the slats also serves as a thermal barrier. Air ranks among the top three best thermal insulators—alongside argon and krypton.

– Thermal Insulation: When the cover is closed, the air within the slats helps retain heat, limiting heat exchange between the pool water and the outside air. This helps maintain a stable water temperature, even during cooler nights. It also reduces the need for heating, extending your swimming season and optimizing energy efficiency.

Float, Insulate, Save Energy

By applying Archimedes’ principle, Unibad pool covers provide a simple yet highly effective solution for protecting your pool.

Thanks to the air pockets within the slats, our covers:
– Float naturally,
– Are easy to handle,
– Offer superior thermal insulation,
– Help you save energy and reduce heating costs.

This smart combination of efficiency, simplicity, and energy savings makes Unibad automatic pool covers the ideal choice for any pool owner.
