Weatherproof protection – Thanks to 420D Oxford fabric with silver-coated surface
420D Oxford is a tightly woven polyester known for strength and tear resistance, while the silver-coated surface reflects sunlight and reduces fabric fade under UV exposure. The material is treated to resist water penetration and abrasion.
Tough fabric keeps stored water dry and tank hardware shielded from the elements, extending service life and reducing repair needs.
Secure fit and easy access – With click-close straps, buckles, drawstring and a side zipper
Four bottom buckles and an adjustable drawstring lock the base, while click-close straps add extra fixation. A zipper on one side and a Velcro top panel allow the lid to open without removing the whole cover.
Quick installation and stable anchoring prevent slippage in wind, while the zip and Velcro make routine checks and maintenance straightforward.
Cleaner water, less maintenance – Thanks to transparent panel and UV-blocking design
A transparent section on the lid permits liquid-level checks without removing the cover, and the silver-coated fabric blocks solar radiation that encourages algae growth.
Visible levels cut down on unnecessary handling and the sun-blocking surface helps keep stored water clearer for longer.
