We’re the sole fabricator of Suncap solar blankets in Adelaide with the cheapest price because you’re not paying interstate freight.
Proudly made in Australia
We’re locally based in Adelaide and have had the same family owners and management for over 30 years. Suncap is an Australian made material and suited to Australian conditions.
Long lasting quality
We offer a range of gauges - 300, 400 or 500 micron that will last for YEARS, imported bubble will NOT.
Digitally measured and cut
We are the only Adelaide Company that can digitally measure and computer cut blankets to shape.
- Suncap Raises The Water Temperature
Suncap raises the water temperature by up to 8 deg.C. Correctly fitted, a Suncap Solar Blanket converts your pool into a giant solar collector, absorbing maximum energy and temperature through the day and preventing heat loss as the outside temperature falls overnight. - Suncap Lowers Heating Costs
Lower pool heating costs by up to 75% - Suncap Solar Pool Blankets reduce evaporative heat loss, putting paid to rapidly rising energy costs. - Suncap Lowers Chemical Costs
During the hot summer months, evaporation can cause the average household pool to lose up to 10,000 litres of water per month. By keeping this loss to an absolute minimum, Suncap Solar Pool Blankets substantially reduce the topping up required to maintain the pool's correct chemical balance. - Suncap Lowers Maintenance
With a Suncap Solar Pool Blanket fitted to your pool, leaves and debris are quickly hosed off the surface of the blanket to be collected in the skimmer box, saving hours each year in time consuming vacuuming and cleaning.
How Does it Work?
The Suncap Solar Pool Blanket retains the heat. Short wavelength solar energy passes easily through the Suncap blanket. Heat retained in the water, which radiates at longer wavelengths, is restricted by the special design of the blanket so it can't readily dissipate into the surrounding atmosphere. Suncap Solar Pool Blankets suit virtually every above ground or in-ground pool, regardless of their shape. Matching Solar Reels are available in a wide range of standard sizes and custom sizes can be fabricated to special order.

Reducing Heat Loss
Walco solar blankets provide your pool with thermal insulating properties that maintain your pool's temperature for longer. The blanket reduces evaporative heat loss by up to 75%. This will substantially save you money on heating bills and help save valuable energy resources.
The Walco solar blanket is designed to allow short wavelength solar energy to pass easily through its surface. The heat, which radiates at longer wavelengths, is then maintained under the surface by the unique design of the blanket.
How to measure your pool
Pool size: length (B) x width (A) (+ step area). Take into account if your pool is indoors or outdoors. Do you need more or less heat, or have leaf debris problem. Remember your pool roller adds years to the life of the blanket. Does your pool have non-standard features? These are some determining facts you need to discuss with us.
