AWTT INC.’s Armor Balls® AQUA shade ball cover systems deliver an elegant, zero-maintenance solution for industrial liquid management. Our floating cover technology effectively reduces heat loss, evaporation, algae proliferation, and odor emissions.

The self-arranging balls achieve optimal surface coverage of up to 91%, creating a sophisticated thermal barrier. This advanced insulation system combines three key elements: the trapped air within each ball, the thermally resistant plastic construction, and the natural air pockets formed between balls. Together, these components form a highly effective barrier that significantly minimizes both heat transfer and light penetration.

The Armor Ball® AQUA floating cover system represents advanced engineering in water surface management. These precision-manufactured polyethylene spheres measure 100mm (4 inches) in diameter, with carefully calibrated weights between 120g and 275g to suit specific applications. Their engineered design incorporates an internal ballasting system that maintains 30% to 50% submersion, ensuring exceptional wind resistance and positional stability. The manufacturing process employs proprietary techniques to create hermetically sealed units, while specialized HDPE formulation and UV stabilizers provide superior protection against solar degradation.

Unlike traditional rigid covers, the Armor Ball® AQUA system offers unparalleled operational flexibility in water treatment facilities. The spherical elements accommodate equipment movement seamlessly, allowing maintenance activities to proceed without cover removal. This adaptive capability proves particularly valuable in dynamic environments such as clarifiers, where the cover automatically adjusts to changing water levels and basin configurations through natural self-leveling properties.

The system delivers additional value through its proven effectiveness as a wildlife deterrent. When deployed to full coverage, the uniform surface creates a visual barrier that renders the water body unrecognizable to waterfowl and terrestrial wildlife, including deer. This solution offers distinct advantages over conventional netting systems, demonstrating superior resilience to winter conditions and eliminating the need for structural support infrastructure.
