The UltraDome story

The UltraDome story

Daisy’s search for the perfect bubble

ONCE UPON A TIME, Aussie families had no other choice but to use pool covers that used to fail badly and leave little pool cover circles in the pool when they came to the end of their life. This pre-UltraDome bubble shape created unwanted weak points causing premature disintegration of their entire pool covers.

Australia’s favourite pool cover, Daisy, knew something had to change. In search of the perfect bubble size, shape and material, Daisy underwent years of pool cover modelling, testing and analysis.

Some years later Daisy introduced the award-winning UltraDome bubble!

The special UltraDome bubble shape gave the ultimate material flow during manufacture and consistent thickness throughout the bubble and also eliminated the weak points. With 1/3 of total material in the top layer and 2/3 in the bottom layer, these covers were stronger and lasted much longer than other standard ones.

Even though Aussie families were satisfied with the performance of their pool cover bubbles, Daisy came to realise how important it was in allowing the sun’s energy to pass easily through the cover to enter the water. “Ah huh! With less energy being used to pass through, the more energy there would be available to warm the water,” mused Daisy.

With this, Daisy went back to the workshop to invent a new transparent bubble to maximise heat and retention. After much toil, the very latest in pool cover technology was brought to the industry by Daisy this year with the launch of UltraDome+. The differencehttps://commercial.daisypoolcovers.com.au/cover/s8-sb-silver-backed/ being that both top and bottom layers could allow maximum sun energy to pass through without interruption.

UltraDome+ was a winning layer combination as only UltraDome+ bubbles showcased a unique clear top and a specially formulated translucent bottom. These pool covers complemented contemporary backyard landscapes and now continue to be a premium choice for Aussie pool owners. And to this day, the UltraDome+ Titanium range has been a hot seller with huge demand. Daisy loved seeing the photos of happy customers with their new Titanium pool cover installations being posted on Facebook and positive feedback being emailed directly. Aussie pools were transformed with the new bubble technology and everyone lived happily ever after. THE END!

Latest updates

Read here for more on the latest Daisy pool cover range changes:

S8 SB Silver Back: as this range has become obsolete it has been discontinued due to huge demand for the latest UltraDome+ Titanium range.

S8 Green: The standard Series 8 Green has been superseded and is now being supplied as Titanium Green.

S8 SS Solar Screen: With the UltraDome+ Titanium technology, Daisy is currently designing and testing a product upgrade of this solar screen range.

Advances with this new non-heating technology are:

  • a new non-heating opaque material
  • with evaporation and a unique cooling control
  • a new desirable appearance for the warmer climates; or for Aussies who just want to keep their pool cooler, or even to have a better external heating control over the pool temperature.

This S8 SS Solar Screen product upgrade should be available to your customers soon. Stay tuned for more details, or feel free to catch up with your Daisy Area Manager for updates.

Help your customers conquer their high leaf or debris problem

Help your customers conquer their high leaf or debris problem

Sell them a WinterKleen cover – Black, Blue or Green!

It may be summer when our customers are typically spending more time entertaining friends by the pool however there are many who are experiencing a continuous debris problem around their pools. And, without pointing blame, generally the source of this problem tends to be from the next door neighbour’s tree (wink – nudge)!

For our customers enduring a high leaf or debris load there is an easy solution. The WinterKleen is the ideal product range for them all year round. What’s new with our WinterKleen covers?

The New Black

Don’t cringe with us using this cliché line (because we’re going to use it anyway)… due to customer demand, Daisy has produced a brand new WinterKleen Black.

The new WinterKleen Black has been specifically designed and developed for our customers who prefer a clean, sleek, unobtrusive and natural look in their backyards rather than introducing a blue or green colour into the mix.

WinterKleen Black also offers the All Year Round solution by keeping all the dust and debris out of the pool while still allowing the water to pass through. The Black is the same weight and the same cost as the standard WinterKleen Blue or Green – refer to Daisy Yearbook on page 21 or via our Get a Quote tool.

The WinterKleen Black is available now!

Simply specify the colour when you order… Black, Blue or Green.

Latest All Year Round brochure

The new Daisy All Year Round brochure is now available and is updated with current information and real reasons why many people love having both a summer solar pool cover and a winter debris protection cover to make their year round enjoyment of their pool a pleasure.

With an abundance of thick leafy backyards in Australia there are lots of customers who have conquered their high debris problem with their WinterKleen! WinterKleen pool covers make looking after pools a lot easier. Be your customer’s hero and introduce them to the WinterKleen pool cover range – available now in Black, Blue and Green.

If you have any questions or feedback on this new cover please get in touch with us directly or contact your Daisy Area Manager anytime. We’re here to listen, help and take care of the little things .

Titanium Blue or Green?

Find out which colour is most popular

We have continued to receive fantastic feedback on the new UltraDome+ Titanium range and customers are enjoying choosing from the new sophisticated blue and green colour set that they come in.

Blue or Green?! (Drum roll please…)

With overwhelming market approval for the latest Titanium Green (S8+ TG) pool covers, we have discontinued the old Series 8 Green product and now only supply the new Titanium Green.

With this latest evolution and our ongoing commitment to improving our products, we have also made new Green Eyelets to suit the unique Titanium Green material.

TG-eyelet

New Green Eyelets – Item Code #225

The new green eyelet has been colour matched with the Pantone colour chart to give us the closest possible colour, and it looks great!

This new eyelet is used for all green eyelets and is Item Code #225. The old style green eyelet will be discontinued moving forward.

 

Expert Tip:

We will do our best to make sure we supply the new green eyelets for all rollers and refit kits that are ordered with a Titanium Green pool cover.

To help ensure we get it right every time you order a new roller or refit kit for a Titanium Green pool cover, please note on the order the Item code number #225, or write ‘with green eyelets’ and we will make sure the eyelets suit your customer’s beautiful new pool cover.

5 features of the perfect pool cover bubble

Pool cover technology has come a long way from the early days of modified bubble wrap when the bubbles were flimsy and weaker. Today, we have the trademarked UltraDome design which offers consistent thickness and now we have the clear and transparent layers of UltraDome+ which allows  even more warmth to be trapped.

It’s not all in the size! The shape counts! The smaller, rounder and more consistent the bubble, the warmer your customer’s pool will be… not to mention the longer they can spend enjoying their pool.

Learn about the five features that make the perfect pool cover bubble:

  1. Size

  • Smaller bubble size is more effective
  • Maximum insulation
  • Maximum bubbles density

  1. Shape

  • A rounder more consistent shape eliminates weak points

  1. Thickness

  • Consistent bubble thickness for greater durability
  • 1/3 of total material in the top layer and 2/3 in the bottom layer which is in contact with corrosive chemicals

  1. Transparency

  • Unique clear top layer
  • Maximum heat and energy into the pool, not into the pool cover
  • Specially formulated translucent bottom layer
  • Modern titanium colours looking better for longer

  1. Material

  • Total polyethylene material
  • UV absorbers across the entire cover for maximum lifespan
  • Eliminates 97% evaporation
  • Efficient insulators against heat loss by radiation, convection and evaporation
  • Material tougheners for longer life.

Industry leading 1st pool cover technology

The latest UltraDome+ Titanium range features all of the above and not only utilises the UltraDome bubble technology, it has been designed and tested to let the maximum amount of the sun’s energy through and less out. The UltraDome+ clear top and translucent bottom is a winning layer combination as both layers allow maximum sun energy to pass through without interruption. Read about the UltraDome story.

Don’t forget our new product upgrades – coming soon!

S8 Green: The standard Series 8 Green had been superseded and is now being supplied as the Titanium Green – S8+ TG.

S8 SB Silver Back: As this range is has become obsolete it has been discontinued due to huge demand for the latest UltraDome+ Titanium range. All Silverback orders will be supplied as Titanium Blue.

S8 SS Solar Screen: With the UltraDome+ Titanium technology, Daisy is currently designing and testing a product upgrade of this solar screen range.

Advances with the new non-heating technology are:

  • a new non-heating opaque material
  • with evaporation and a unique cooling control
  • a new desirable appearance for the warmer climates; or for Aussies who just want to keep their pool cooler, or even to have a better external heating control over the pool temperature.

This S8 SS Solar Screen product upgrade should be available to your customers by the New Year. Stay tuned for more details; or feel free to catch up with your Daisy Area Manager for updates.

New Dig Template sales tool for you!

Posted on

Take risk out of the equation for your new pool owners

Fibreglass pool installers find our Daisy Dig Templates useful in helping to accurately set out the pool location and mark out the dig on fibreglass pools.

Dig Templates are traditionally black in colour and made out of durable polyethylene (PE) material. As black is sometimes difficult to visualise as pool water, we’ve developed something new!

Sales Templates are now available in translucent blue PE material. The improved colour has been designed to make it easier for new pool owners to visualise the pool installed in their backyard. With the data collected from the pool shell we can make the templates the perfect sales tool while measuring up at a potential customer’s yard. They can even be used as the dig template to pre-cut to the pool’s exact shape.

Why Sales Templates are perfect for new pool owners?

  1. Visually inspiring translucent blue colour
  2. Takes the risk out of the process
  3. A perfect size and shape is guaranteed, saving time and costs.

Sales Templates are used to position the pool in the yard to get the sizing and positioning just right for your customer. It saves time and second guessing especially as mum will be able to see the pool from the lounge room window, and dad can also get a concept of where the fencing will need to go. The new translucent blue colour will help your customer visualise and make a speedier decision!
