Heatsavr Liquid Pool Cover - An Interview

Bob White (Heatsaver Distribution) describes coming across Heatsavr as his ‘Eureka’ moment. The innovative liquid pool cover product has moved on now to be in it’s 6th energy saving year.“Having been involved with energy conservation equipment for swimming pools embracing subjects as solar heating, heat pumps, environmental control, heat recovery etc., I was excited by the prospects with such a simple product as Heatsavr could offer.

I knew from my understanding of energy requirements, particularly with regard to indoor pools, that if Heatsavr worked it had to be a winner. Heatsavr had been on the North American market for 11 years and no one had attempted to introduce it to the European market. Initially it was difficult to get Heatsavr taken seriously. Liquid cover - whatever next!! Can’t see or detect it in water -sounds too good to be true!



What is Heatsavr?
Heatsavr is a flexible cover that forms a transparent monomolecular surface layer whenever the water surface is not too disturbed. This layer reduces evaporation, which saves on water heating but, with indoor pools, can reduce the cost of air heating and humidity control.

“This is the best energy saving product that I have been involved with. It’s simple to use, has a low capital outlay and running costs that should provide a 400 to 600% return on investment!”
