Discover the new Alveolar

A new alveolar technology, exclusive to CF group.

CF group innovates with the DEL Premium alveolar cover. The result of research work by CF group’s R&D teams, this bubble cover offers improved insulation and mechanical resistance compared to the rest of the DEL brand range.

Two references of covers available according to the needs: Blue translucent or Black. The covers are all made with a welded all-round border for aesthetic appeal and durability.

This innovative isothermal cover has several advantages:

  • superior insulation performance, which reduces energy consumption by maintaining the water temperature and reducing the need to heat the pool.
  • increased heating power, especially for the translucent blue version which transmits more than 80%* of the sun’s UV radiation to the water thanks to its two transparent layers, thus reducing the energy consumption needed to heat the water.
  • protection of the water from external debris and pollution. This reduces the need for treatment and maintenance as well as filtration time.
  • French manufacture: the alveolar covers are made in Brittany, in the CF Group factory in Brécé.
  • a blockage of evaporation greater than 99%* when the cover is on the water, which allows a saving of 180 litres* on the 200 litres evaporated over a day with 2 hours of swimming.
