A floating cover design that maintains stability and resists wind drift without external anchors, using element geometry or partial water fill alone.
Self-ballasting means the floating cover stays in place without external anchors or cables — useful for sites with dynamic water levels and irregular shorelines, where anchor design adds cost and complexity.
In EuroCover’s catalog this matters because both hexagonal modular products (Hexprotect® AQUA and Hexofloat®) and the spherical Armor Ball AQUA deploy anchorlessly — the EU install crews do not need to specify, supply, or service a perimeter anchor system.
For the engineering reference — the original 2010 self-ballasting Hexprotect® patent, the lateral-motion wind-dissipation principle, the evolution to the pre-ballasted AQUA — see pond-cover.com/self-ballasting-cover.
