A swimming pool is more than a leisure facility. In a water-stressed climate, it's also a water-storage asset.

Across Europe, millions of swimming pools contain thousands of litres of water each.

And every uncovered pool is exposed to evaporation.

In hot, dry climates, that can represent a significant ongoing water loss — particularly across the long summer season.

A well-designed pool cover can dramatically reduce that loss.

Our high-performance materials can reduce evaporation by up to 98%, while also helping retain heat and reduce the energy required to heat the pool.

That's why pool covers are about more than convenience.

They're a simple example of a much wider principle:

If we're going to store water, we should think about how we keep it there.

As Europe works towards greater water resilience, even everyday water uses have a role to play.

For parts of Europe, water scarcity isn't a future problem. It's already here. ☀️💧

Southern Europe in particular faces persistent seasonal water stress, putting pressure on agriculture, tourism, communities and ecosystems.

But drought doesn't just mean less rainfall.

Hotter conditions also mean greater evaporative losses from exposed water.

So when water is stored for irrigation, agriculture, industry or recreation, protecting that water becomes increasingly important.

Evaporation covers can help.

💧 Reduce water loss
🌱 Preserve stored water for agriculture
🏭 Improve water-storage efficiency
🧪 Help reduce contamination
⚡ Reduce energy demand in swimming pools

Our high-performance covering materials can reduce evaporative water loss by up to 98%.

Water resilience isn't only about finding new sources.

It's about making every source work harder.

When we talk about water scarcity, we usually talk about consumption.

How much are we using?

How much can we reduce?

How can we make our homes, businesses and agriculture more water-efficient?

But there's another question:

How much water are we losing without ever using it?

☀️ Evaporation from reservoirs
🌱 Evaporation from agricultural storage
🏭 Evaporation from industrial water systems
🏊 Evaporation from swimming pools

Water scarcity isn't only a problem of demand.

It's also a problem of retention.

Covering exposed water surfaces can dramatically reduce evaporation — with high-performance covers capable of reducing evaporative losses by up to 98%.

As we face increasingly frequent periods of drought and water stress, every litre retained is a litre that doesn't need to be replaced.

The solution to water scarcity won't be one single technology.

But perhaps "use less and lose less" should be part of the conversation.

Today marks the final day of Rob's (aka Bobby's) placement year with us before he returns to the University of Surrey to complete his final year.

To celebrate, he helped harvest the very first crop from our R&D team's greenhouse project – a fitting way to round off a year of hard work and innovation.

It's been fantastic having him as part of the team, and we'd like to thank him for all his contributions over the past year.

Wishing you every success for your final year and whatever comes next, Bobby!
