Cleaner Stored Water - with silver-plated, UV-resistant 420D Oxford cloth
420D Oxford cloth with a silver-plated surface reduces light penetration and resists fading, while the fabric structure is thicker and tear-resistant. Waterproof coating prevents rain ingress and limits conditions that encourage algae growth.
Reduced algae growth keeps water clearer between uses, saving time on cleaning and filtration. Cleaner water is easier to use for gardening and reduces maintenance of taps and pumps.
Easy Access for Daily Use - thanks to a side cut-out and top opening
A purpose-made cut-out on one side aligns with the outlet tap, while a top opening allows direct refilling without removing the cover. Openings are sized for practical use without exposing the tank unnecessarily.
Direct access to the tap means draining can happen without lifting the cover, making routine use faster and less awkward. Quick top access makes topping up straightforward after rainfall or mains refill.
Simple Storage and Reuse - with a supplied storage bag
Cover folds down to fit into the included storage bag, keeping the fabric tidy when not in use. Lightweight and foldable design reduces space taken in garden sheds or garages.
Compact storage makes the cover seasonally convenient and reusable year after year. Having a dedicated bag helps protect the cover between uses and extends its serviceable life.
