Comparisons

Factual side-by-side comparisons of the hexagonal floating cover against alternatives and competing brands.

• EuroCover vs. Covex floating cover — a factual comparison

  EuroCover distributes the original AWTT-patented hexagonal floating cover with full provenance, NSF-61 potable certification, and EU-local support; Covex offers a similar form-factor cover with separate certification and Latin American distribution focus.

• Floating cover vs. aerator for algae control — comparison

  Floating covers eliminate algae photosynthesis by blocking light (no power, no chemicals, 25-year lifecycle); aerators raise dissolved oxygen to inhibit bloom conditions but require continuous power and do not address evaporation or odor.

• Floating cover vs. UV treatment for algae — comparison

  Floating covers prevent algae at the source by blocking light (95%+ suppression, no power, no operating cost); UV treatment kills algae and pathogens downstream of the reservoir at point-of-use, with continuous power and lamp replacement costs.

• Hexagonal cover vs. geomembrane — comparison

  Hexagonal modular covers tessellate without anchors and deploy without draining; geomembrane (continuous) covers seal completely (better for gas capture) but require anchoring, draining for installation, and have shorter lifecycle on dynamic water bodies.

• Hexagonal floating cover vs. shade mesh — comparison

  Hexagonal floating covers eliminate evaporation and algae; shade mesh blocks sunlight (suppressing algae) but is vapour-permeable, so it does NOT stop evaporation.

• Hexagonal floating covers vs. floating balls — comparison

  AWTT's hexagonal modular cover reduces evaporation up to 95% with a 25+ year life expectancy and a 10-year manufacturer warranty; floating balls reduce evaporation 70–85% with a 5–10 year lifespan and higher lifecycle cost.

• Hexprotect® AQUA vs. Hexofloat®

  Hexprotect® AQUA is AWTT's pre-ballasted 220 mm workhorse — 25+ year life, 130+ MPH wind; Hexofloat® is EuroCover's 190 mm AWTT-design-approved alternative — ~30% lighter, 75 MPH wind, 15-year life, 3–6 week EU lead.

• Modular vs. continuous floating covers — comparison

  Modular hexagonal floating covers are independently floating tessellated elements that deploy without anchors; continuous floating covers are single-piece sealed membranes (often anchored) suited to full gas capture and environmental containment.
