- are a very effective heat-retaining and humidity-reducing covers that are completely unique. We have installed dozens over the years
For over fifty years, scientists have known that a mono-layer (one molecule thick) spread across the surface of a liquid can dramatically reduce evaporation and energy loss
Heatsaver is a patented product developed over 16 years ago by Flexible Solutions of Canada, an AMEX quoted company which is in the forefront of evaporation control technology
Unlike a conventional pool cover which has to be removed from the pool for swimming, Heatsaver breaks apart whenever the water is sufficiently disturbed but the mono-layer reforms whenever the water becomes calm again
Consequently Heatsavr adjusts perfectly to changing activity levels in the pool throughout the day. A variable and flexible cover that automatically works whenever and wherever the pool surface is calm

Heatsavr Benefits
- The most cost-effective solution to pool-water evaporation
- Proven energy savings of over 50%
- Reduces heat loss by two-thirds or more
- Completely hassle free - just enjoy your pool
- Dramatically extends the swim-season
- Reduces water-loss
- Extends the life of your pool-water
- Transparent - it's much safer to be able to see all of your pool
- No roller to clutter up the pool area
- Harmless, non-toxic and biodegradable
- Fits any size or shape of pool - exactly
- Reduces humidity on indoor pools, therby reducing energy bills
- Works with saltwater pools, Chlorine pools, etc.

Simple and inexpensive to install
Heatsaver is filter friendly, does not affect the chemical balance (pH, sanitizer, alkalinity) of the water, will not damage vinyl liners or any other pool surfaces and is absolutely harmless to skin contact
An automatic dosing system ensures that the correct dose of liquid is added to the pool, at the same time each day
Fully programmable to suit pool size and hours of operation, it only requires a periodic check - to top up or replace the 2 litre bottle of Heatsavr liquid (Larger reservoirs are available)
Does it heat the pool?
Not exactly. A pool warms up in the Spring by storing heat energy. The water gets warmer because of the longer hours of sunshine and higher air temperatures
Meanwhile, 24 hours a day, the pool loses heat through the sides and floor (10%) and from the surface (90%), so it does not warm up very quickly. When heat-loss is reduced the pool warms faster
Heatsavr prevents about 75% of surface heat-loss - more than two-thirds of overall heat-loss
How It Works
Non-technical version
The very special, transparent and non-toxic liquid spreads, very thinly, right across the pool and stops water evaporating. It is the evaporating water that cools the pool - just like when you wear a wet tee-shirt
Heatsavr is a bio-degradable liquid, which forms a transparent monomolecular layer over the surface of a swimming pool whenever it is calm. This layer significantly reduces evaporation, which not only saves on water heating but with indoor pools can reduce the cost of humidity control and air heating requirements

Technical version
Heatsavr is a bio-degradable liquid, which forms a transparent mono-molecular layer over the surface of a swimming pool whenever it is calm
For decades, scientists have known that a monolayer (one molecule thick) spread across the surface of a liquid dramatically reduces evaporation and energy loss
Heatsavr is a mixture of carefully chosen ingredients which automatically float to the surface. The particles of the liquid are attracted to each other and they always try to form a perfect, very thin layer over the whole pool surface
They are individually microscopic - 500 times smaller than the spaces in a high-quality DE Filter
Unlike a conventional pool cover, which has to be removed from the pool for swimming, Heatsavr breaks apart when the water is sufficiently disturbed but the monolayer reforms when the water becomes calm again
Consequently Heatsaver adjusts perfectly to changing activity levels in the pool, 24 hours a day
A variable and flexible cover that automatically works whenever and wherever the pool surface is calm
For the more technically minded – the properties of Heatsaver include a unique spreading mechanism which forms a monomolecular layer by making use of the repulsive forces generated by dissociation of ionic compounds when dissolved in water. Negative ions repel each other, as do positive ions and quickly spread the film-forming agents
Heatsavr's especially tailored molecules: -
- Prefer their feet in water
- Prefer their heads in the air
- Once they are spread out, resist climbing on top of each other
- Have side-chains (arms?) that interlock, like riot police, to keep the water molecules controlled
- Are short lived; biodegrading to air and water within 5 days
