T-Star Enterprises is the innovative development group responsible for the Energy Saver Insulated Pool Blanket System.
T-Star is the leader in producting energy blankets for the commercial
recreational water industry. Public safety, enjoyable use, and the
conservation of our precious natural resources for our future
generations, is and will continue to be, both their goal and ours
within the aquatic industry.
The Energy Saver product line supports:
- Conservation of the world's natural resources.
- Reduction in facility operating expense.
- Ensuring public safety and the enjoyment of all aquatic facilities.
T-Star Enterprises is the world's largest supplier of commercial swimming pool/spa Heat Saver Blankets and Storage Reel Systems.

The
process of fabric-to-foam flame lamination is an expensive operation
that is an art form, pioneered by MacBall Industries over 30 years ago.
Our dedication to the commercial aquatic industry and the in-house
manufacturing process allows us to achieve a standard of quality
unmatched by any other manufacturer. In-house manufacturing
capabilities also provide for our ability to react to increased demand
with readily available inventory. |
Laminate
- The manufacturing process consists of a two-step flame lamination
process. The buoyant laminate materials used in the fabrication of the
Heat Saver blankets are:
- Machine-woven, high-density polyethylene fabric.
- Tear-resistant, non-toxic, non-absorbent
- Treating with a UV inhibitor adds years to blanket life.
- Chemical resistant to all materials found in the aquatic environment.
Components - The
assembly technique and the various components that make up the Energy
Saver Blanket System are unique to our process. Our trained craftsmen
incorporate doubled polyethylene-woven fabric as an interlocking end
and edge treatment which retards blanket wear. They also provide
load-dispersion plates at all corner sections of the blanket,
non-corroding handling grommets, and naturally, the required safety
signage.
Stitching - All
sewing is done on machines specifically designed for the purpose of
joining flame-laminate materials. The synchronized stitching drive
systems ensure uniformity of stitch length and predictable seam
strength. The stitch employed is a double-locking chain stitch, which
utilizes an ultra-violet stabilized, chemically resistant, 100%
polyester thread. This allows for extreme flexibility between laminate
layers (seams). This flexibility makes the blanket easier to handle and
more resistant to tearing when the seams are stretched. The chain
stitch allows for repair of individual sections of the blanket. |

DESIGNED TO LAST A LIFETIME
Safety, strength, durability, field serviceability, and ease of
operation are the hallmark features of the T-Star
Storage Reel.
- Quality constructed end frames are welded structures
and are 1.5" x 1.5" type 304 stainless steel box beam - much stronger
than the conventional round tubing found in less expensive storage
reels.
- Side rails are bolted in place and are 1" x 2" type
304 stainless steel box beam - much stronger than the conventional
round tubing found in less expensive storage reels.
- Each storage reel tube is fitted with our exclusive self-aligning and self-lubricating composite bearing assemblies.
- Modular design allows for low transportation cost, field assembly, serviceability and component replacement.
- Heavy-duty, non-corroding, stainless steel casters that employ easy-to-maneuver 6" diameter polyurethane wheels.
- Self-leveling, screw-type floor lock brakes with replaceable polyethylene brake pads.
- Reels provided in single, double or triple storage reel tube configurations.
- Reel assemblies are available in two configurations: on-deck portable and space saver wall-mount.
- Lifetime structural warranty.
CONSERVATION
Some states have enacted laws, which now require the use of natural
resource conserving heat-saving insulated blankets on all new swimming
pool projects.
SMART INVESTMENT
The T-Star System provides an excellent return on investment. Most
systems pay for themselves within the first year and continue
generating savings.
More investment incentives - many utility companies offer rebates of up
to 50% of the cost of energy conservation systems. CES offers
a unique Rent-to-Own program which requires no up-front investment -
let monthly savings make the payments.
SAVINGS
Evaporation, conduction, convection and radiation are responsible for
90% of the energy losses attributed to commercial swimming pool and spa
facilities. These costs are substantially reduced through effective
insulation and evaporation control.
BLANKET PROTECTOR
The T-Star Blanket Protector provides an additional ultra-violet
stabilized layer to cover your blankets when stored on the reel. |
