Floating Water Cover Solutions

Open water storage, whether reservoirs, tanks, basins, or lagoons, face persistent challenges: evaporation loss, sunlight-driven algae growth, unwanted sunlight-driven chemical changes, vapor and odor emissions, unwanted wildlife interactions, and other operational challenges.

EnviroBalls™ by Global Environmental Solutions (GES) provides a versatile floating surface coverage solution trusted by municipal utilities, industrial facilities, and commercial water systems.

Built on decades of expertise in engineered hollow plastic balls, EnviroBalls™ form a high-coverage floating barrier that automatically adjusts with changing water levels and delivers proven performance where it matters most.

Water Coverage Benefits

• Reliable Surface Coverage

  EnviroBalls™ naturally arrange themselves into a dense, tight-packed blanket across the water surface, providing up to ~91% coverage regardless of ball size, which significantly reduces mass and heat transfer between the water and air.
• Evaporation Reduction & Water Conservation
  By limiting direct exposure to air and sunlight, EnviroBalls™ dramatically reduce evaporation and water loss, a critical benefit for water-tight budgets and drought-prone regions.
• Algae & UV Control

  The floating cover blocks excessive ultraviolet light from entering the water, helping slow algae growth, reduce treatment demand, and protect water quality.
• Odor, Vapor, & Wildlife Management

  EnviroBalls™ create a physical barrier that suppresses vapor emissions and odors, while also detering waterfowl and wildlife from landing on water surfaces, reducing contamination risk and wildlife welfare concerns.
• Durable & Low-Maintenance

  Constructed from engineered HDPE or other polymers with UV stabilizers, EnviroBalls are built for long life in exposed environments, require minimal maintenance, and can be reconfigured or relocated as needs change.

Typical Floating Water Coverage Applications

EnviroBalls serve a wide range of systems and sectors, including:

• Municipal Drinking Water Reservoirs & Storage Tanks for water loss mitigation and UV protection.
• Wastewater & Treatment Basins, for odor control, wildlife deterrence, and surface protection.
• Industrial Process Water & Cooling Ponds, for thermal insulation and vapor suppression.
• Stormwater & Retention Ponds, Provides algae control and evaporation reduction.
• Irrigation & Agricultural Reservoirs, water conservation.

Built for Performance and Adaptability

EnviroBalls™ are designed to rise and fall with water levels without mechanical assistance, forming a continuous protection layer that doesn’t interfere with pumps, diffusers, bridges, or access points. Their self-adjusting nature and broad range of material options make them suitable for new builds, retrofits, and seasonal coverage strategies.

Common EnviroBalls™ Sizes

EnviroBalls™ are available in multiple diameters to meet different coverage, performance, and operational requirements. Each size is engineered for durability, consistent floating behavior, and modular surface coverage.

• EnviroBalls™ 4.0

  Designed for large reservoirs, ponds, and open basins where long-term durability, stability, and ease of deployment are priorities. EnviroBalls™ 4.0 are 4” balls that are ideal for municipal and large industrial water storage applications.
• EnviroBalls™ 2.0
  A versatile, mid-size option providing excellent surface coverage and adaptability across a wide range of tanks, basins, and process water systems.
• EnviroBalls™ 1.5

  Optimized for tighter geometries, complex infrastructure, and applications requiring higher packing density and finer surface conformity.

GES works with each customer to recommend the appropriate EnviroBalls™ size, or combination of sizes, based on water body geometry, operating conditions, and performance objectives.
