Authentic Original NSF/ANSI food-grade FDA-compliant formulations available EU Water Framework Directive compatible
For EU buyers, Hexprotect® AQUA is the cover EuroCover stocks for industrial reservoirs where validated long design life and high wind certification are the deciding procurement criteria. EuroCover Water Systems supplies the authentic AWTT-manufactured product with full EU provenance documentation.
What you buy
Hexprotect® AQUA is supplied via EuroCover Water Systems’ EU distribution network. Every order ships with material certificate, batch identification, and warranty registration to the manufacturer of record — AWTT.
EuroCover only supplies authentic AWTT-manufactured Hexprotect® AQUA. The hexagonal form factor has been widely copied; the engineered geometry, plastic grade, and field-validated wind threshold of the AWTT product have not. Provenance documentation is issued with the quotation.
For the engineering reference — geometry, ballast mechanics, wind dissipation, evolution from the original Hexprotect® — see the technology microsite at pond-cover.com/hexprotect-aqua.
Use cases EuroCover quotes for in the EU
- Industrial reservoirs across the EU drinking-water network (specify NSF/ANSI food-grade option).
- Mining tailings ponds in Spain, Portugal, Scandinavia.
- Wastewater plant digestate storage (odor / emissions).
- Anaerobic digester heat retention.
- Agricultural irrigation storage (Mediterranean drought regions).
- Hurricane-exposed sites (specify the wind rating in the RFP).
Compatibility
Compatible with existing reservoir geometries; deployable on water bodies with irregular shorelines, inflows, and outflows. Removable for cleaning, inspection, or relocation. Stackable for transport.
Lead time
Typically 2–8 weeks for EU delivery, depending on whether the order ships from EU stock or US manufacture. Larger custom orders sit at the upper end of that range.
