AquaBubble Cristal 500-Micron Thermal Blanket

AquaBubble Cristal is a solar thermal cover manufactured in Europe from fully recyclable polyethylene. Its transparent finish allows solar radiation to penetrate directly into the water, maximizing heat gain, while its bubble structure—which is nearly uniform in thickness and inspired by the shape of a water droplet—makes it more durable than a standard bubble cover of the same thickness.

Standard Blanket vs. AquaBubble Cristal

Same function, different long-term behavior.

Standard Bubble

—Thin corners that weaken before the rest of the material —Smaller sealing area between bubbles —Lower initial cost, shorter service life —It gradually loses its resistance

AquaBubble® Crystal

＋Transparent: maximum direct solar gain for the water ＋Nearly uniform thickness, longer service life of the material ＋Extra-strong seals between bubbles ＋Additives that slow down the aging of the material

Why Choose AquaBubble Cristal

The Cristal version is the best choice when the main goal is to heat the water as much as possible by harnessing solar radiation. Because it is transparent, it lets in more light than any opaque color, transferring that light directly to the water. If you’re also looking for algae control, we recommend our EnergyGuard cover.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does AquaBubble Cristal differ from the Blue version?

The bubble technology is the same in both models. The difference is the color: the Crystal version is transparent and maximizes solar heat absorption by allowing radiation to pass directly into the water. The Blue version offers a better balance between heat absorption and aesthetics. If your priority is to heat the water as much as possible, the Crystal version is the way to go.
