Cubex Guard
The Cubex Guard cover system (patent pending) hybrid cover was designed and manufactured by Coverhex to combine the advantages of the Shield Ball and Enviro-Hex covers, without any of the inconvenience. With two sizes available, the Cubex Guard cover system was designed to improve insulation where heat loss prevention is critical.
It offers highly effective solutions to problematic liquid storage systems such as municipal and industrial wastewater, treatment processing plants, metal and petrochemical plants, leachate ponds, airports, raw water reservoirs and other applications for heat retention, photosynthesis prevention and or a wildlife deterrent.
The Cubex Guard system ensures coverage of up to 99%. The resulting thermal insulation barrier combines the insulation factor of the air held in each part with the poor heat conductivity of plastic. The substantial air pocket (4.5” for the Cubex Guard 66 and 8.25” for the Cubex Guard 189) dramatically reduces heat loss and VOCs.
Symmetrical in all direction by design, the Cubex Guard does not leave any gap in between elements. This is our best cover for evaporation reductions (up to 99%). The flat faces of the Cubex Guard ensure a very tight packing even in strong winds. And contrary to other thin edges covers, it does stack or overlap.
The Cubex Guard barrier, contrary to standard covers, does not represent an obstacle to static, moving or dipping equipment. The elements can be easily pushed aside and the cover reforms itself as the basin and obstacles change configuration, as in a clarifier. In fact, the elements will keep up with liquid level, rising, lowering and reforming the cover as needed.
Cubex Guard are also an effective wildlife deterrent. When entirely covered, the body of water becomes unattractive to waterfowl and other wildlife such as deer. They simply don’t recognize it as water.
Compared to netting, Cubex Guard are not sensitive to ice or snow damage and do not require any kind of support. Cubex Guard are produced with high quality high density polyethylene. The expected life time is 25 years.
