Euro-Matic proudly introduces the world’s first Self-Filling Cover Ball™—a patented innovation that revolutionizes traditional shade ball technology. Unlike conventional water-filled or air-filled balls, our hybrid design is supplied empty and intelligently self-fills with water upon deployment. This creates a stable, partially submerged ball without the logistics and transport costs of pre-filled alternatives.
Each Self-Filling Ball™ features a unique 2-piece construction:
Once the Self-filling Balls are placed on a water or liquid surface, the balls automatically settle to half their diameter, creating a tightly packed, floating layer that adapts with the surface level.
Reduces evaporation by up to 90%
Minimizes ice formation by up to 10°C
Cuts heating costs by up to 75%
Resists wind speeds over 147 km/h (48 m/s)
Self-adjusting with liquid levels
Quick, tool-free installation
Reusable, maintenance-free solution
10+ years life expectancy
Up to 80% lighter than traditional water-filled balls—significantly cheaper to ship
Whether you’re looking to deter birds near airports, reduce water loss in reservoirs, or stabilise temperature-sensitive tanks, the Self-Filling Cover Ball™ offers unmatched efficiency, long-term durability, sustainability, and measurable operational savings. It combines the lightweight handling of air-filled balls with the performance of water-filled solutions—automatically adapting to your application on-site.
