“Beyond Microns: What Really Matters”

Generic pool covers are still compared using “micron thickness” — but this is no longer a reliable measure of quality.

Micron only refers to thickness. Modern pool covers are designed differently, with performance depending more on material composition, UV protection, and bubble design.

A thicker cover is not necessarily a better cover.

At Aussie Pool Covers, we focus on ongoing improvements in material design, with an emphasis on lighter = easier to handle material, heat retention, and lifespan — rather than outdated thickness ratings.

Compare your options in our buying guide table below to find the best pool cover for durability, and to add safety and value to your pool.

Alex from Aussie Pool Covers has been absolutely incredible to work with. We needed a custom spa cover for our investment property and had to organise everything remotely. I had loads of questions as our spa wasn’t a standard size, but Alex made the whole process so easy from start to finish. The cover was fully customised, installed perfectly, and looks so professional. We couldn’t be happier - competitive pricing and such great service. Highly recommend and thank you again!

Just like to thank Martin and Alex for the best service ever and professional approach. They took the time to explain all about their products, also being able to go to their factory and have a look at the materials and pool roller I was purchasing The beauty of all there products is they are made in Australia. All there covers and rollers are made on their premises in Landsdale From the time I ordered the cover and roller and delivery was only 3 days Alex installed my pool cover and roller and I must say his expertise was incredible to watch After installation he explained the best ways to use the cover and roll it out and roll it back We found out how wrong we had been doing it in the past. I would highly recommend this company to everybody looking for any pool cover or roller There price was superb, service was superb and everything was explained in full details. Thanks once again Len Bowman
