Features

  • Heavy-Duty Winter Protection: This heavy-duty pool cover is built from 14x14 laminated scrim polyethylene with reinforced, heat-sealed seams; its dense, tear-resistant scrim handles harsh off-season weather
  • Stays Secure in Wind and Snow: The metal grommets every 2 ft and a 4-ft overlap hold this solid cover firmly over the oval above-ground pool, standing up to wind, rain, and snow
  • Extends Cover Life, Blocks Sunlight: Built with heat-sealed seams, this above ground pool cover ensures a watertight bond, blocking leaves, debris and rain while extending cover life; the black underside blocks sunlight to help inhibit dirt buildup
  • Minimizes Water Evaporation: This solid construction of this pool cover for above ground pool helps retain water by limiting exposure to air, reducing evaporation over winter
  • Simple Cable-and-Winch Installation: Thread the included vinyl-coated cable through the metal grommets, then tighten the ratcheting winch of the oval pool cover for a secure, wind-resistant fit
  • Easy Centering and Fit: The 4-ft overlap of this above ground pool tarp makes positioning straightforward; a second person speeds up centering for a snugger fit during installation
  • Proper Handling and Care: Simply clear the buildup from the pool edge with a soft-bristle broom after a heavy snow, or use a cover pump to remove standing water that collects on top of the pool winter cover after storms
  • Hardware Included: This heavy duty winter pool cover is sized for 12x24-ft oval above-ground pools; securing hardware such as the cable and winch are included
  • Reliable Quality from Blue Wave: Backed by a 15-year limited warranty (full coverage in year 1, prorated coverage in years 2 through 15), U.S.-based customer support, and over 35 years of pool industry experience
  • Pool size: 12 feet x 24 feet
  • Cover size: 16 feet x 28 feet
  • Protects against sun, snow, ice and wind
  • 4-feet overlap to fit most top rails
  • Heavy duty cable and winch tightener included

Description

Closing a pool for winter should not mean months of cleanup or a green pool in spring. The Blue Wave Arctic Armor 12x24-ft Oval Above Ground Pool Winter Cover is a heavy-duty solid pool tarp built to handle everything the off- season brings, so you can close up in fall and return to a cleaner pool when spring arrives. It’s made with a 14x14 laminated scrim polyethylene, a dense, tear-resistant material that forms a solid barrier against leaves, sticks, rain, and snow. The reinforced, heat-sealed seams form a watertight bond across the cover to block moisture and debris and help prevent rips. Because the panel is solid rather than mesh, it keeps water from passing through and limits evaporation over winter. The black underside blocks sunlight throughout the off-season to help limit dirt buildup in the pool, which reduces the maintenance work needed at opening time. Securing the cover is straightforward. The rust-resistant metal grommets spaced every 2 feet work with the included vinyl-coated steel cable and ratcheting winch to lock the cover down evenly, withstanding strong winds, rain, and snow. The 4-ft overlap extends well beyond the pool wall for a snug, wind-resistant fit, and a helper makes installation faster on a pool this size. This is a winter debris cover, not a safety cover. Do not walk on it or allow it to support weight. After a heavy snow, clear the buildup from the pool edge with a soft-bristle broom. To keep the pool cleaner, use a cover pump to remove standing water that collects on top of the cover after storms. Backed by Blue Wave’s 15-year limited warranty (full coverage in year 1 and prorated coverage in years 2 through 15), U.S.-based customer support and over 35 years of pool industry experience. This winter pool cover is sized for 12x24-ft oval pools only. Complete with securing hardware, including the winch and cable, so everything needed for installation is in the box.

  • Water passes through
Size: 15 by 30-Feet
We were noticing that we were losing water over time. I looked everywhere for a leak but found nothing. I have a little giant cover pump. I noticed that with no rain the pump was kicking on. Sure enough with the weight of the pump water was seeping through. In about a half hour there was enough to trigger the pump. Our cover is two years old. I guess we won't leave the pump on the cover. Which kind of defeats the purpose. ... show more

  • Too wide
Size: 16 by 32-Feet
We just put the cover on yesterday, so we’ll see how it holds up. The grommets were fine. The issue we had was that the cover was at least 2 feet too wide. I double checked what I ordered and I ordered the correct size of 16 x 32. I don’t know if I was shipped the wrong size or if what I got was what they call 16 x 32, but we have a lot of extra material. Hopefully it will be ok! ... show more

  • Great Fit
Size: 16 by 32-Feet
This pool cover had an excellent fit and was easy to put on the pool. It seems durable, but time will tell. We normally get 2 to 3 years from a cover so would be amazed if it would last 5 years, let alone the 15 years that the warranty states.

  • Great cover
Size: 12 by 20-Feet
This cover is working well so far, only thing I don’t like is the size. We have an odd sized pool so the closest fitting was this size cover which was still a few feet too big but we are making it work. It seems to be very strong and sturdy so far, we are about one month in to using it. Good value!

  • Cover is very thick and easy to install.

Used the cover for my pool and love the durability, size and how easy it was to install over the pool.

  • Fix your grommet machine.
Size: 12 by 20-Feet
They seem to be having a bit of a quality control issue. Half the grommets were poorly installed, many simply fell out. Some of the stitching also missed completely. Luckily, I have a grommet tool, so I could repair and get my pool covered.

  • The Most Amazing Pool Cover Ever
Size: 16 by 25-Feet
I have been purchasing pool covers for over 30 years and none of them have ever been made of the quality of this one. It's thick, solid and yet flexible enough to fall in place.

  • Heavy Duty
Size: 18 by 34-Feet
Great size (oversized and easy to install) and much more heavy duty than I thought it would be.
