Armor ball is the spherical floating-cover format. In the EuroCover catalog, the Armor Ball AQUA product is the AWTT-manufactured sphere EuroCover supplies for small and irregularly-shaped water bodies — where modular tessellation isn’t justified.

Spherical floating covers self-ballast via partial water fill on deployment. Coverage ratio at full deployment is typically 70–80%, which makes them the alternative when geometry permits — on most EU industrial reservoirs over 1,000 m², the hexagonal modular covers (Hexprotect® AQUA, Hexofloat®) deliver higher coverage and longer design life.
