Features 9

  • Heavy-Duty Winter Protection: This heavy-duty pool cover is built from tear-resistant 10x12 scrim woven polyethylene that handles harsh off-season weather
  • Extends Cover Life, Blocks Sunlight: Built with heat-sealed seams, this swimming 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
  • Fits 18x36-ft In-Ground Pools: This rectangular pool cover features a 5 ft overlap that extends beyond the pool edge on every side for steady, even coverage
  • Stays Secure in Wind and Snow: The sewn loops every 4 ft around the inground pool cover allow you to secure it with water tubes (sold separately) for a snugger fit, with no deck anchors required

Description

Closing an in-ground pool for winter should not mean a green pool or hours of cleanup in spring. The Blue Wave Arctic Armor 18x36-ft Rectangular In-Ground Pool Cover is a heavy-duty solid pool tarp cover built to handle what the off- season brings, so the pool opens cleaner when it is time to reopen. It’s made with a 10x12 scrim count woven polyethylene, a dense material that forms a solid barrier against leaves, twigs, rain, and snow. The reinforced, heat- sealed seams run across the cover to lock out water, resist splitting, and help block moisture and debris. Because the panel is solid rather than mesh, water collects on top instead of draining through, and the black underside limits sunlight through the off-season to help slow dirt buildup and reduce cleanup at opening. This swimming pool cover is sized for 18x36-ft rectangular in-ground pools, with an extra 5-ft overlap that extends beyond the pool edge on every side. The grommets every 2 ft accept the included vinyl-coated cable and metal winch to cinch the cover down, and sewn water tube loops every 4 ft around the perimeter allow you to anchor the cover with water tubes (sold separately) for a snug, steady fit without deck anchors. A second person 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. A layer of water on top is normal and helps hold the cover in place against wind; a cover pump (sold separately) can clear excess after heavy snow. Backed by Blue Wave’s 12-year limited warranty (full coverage in year 1 and prorated coverage in years 2 through 12), plus U.S.-based customer support and over 35 years of pool industry experience.

Good quality

Good quality and excellent value

Fits, but a little small
Size: 20 by 40-Feet
This product states that it’s the right size for a 20 x 40 pool however I only have about a foot overlap. On my last tarp, I had at least 2 to 3 feet overlap on a 20 x 40 tarp

Great buy!

We bought this pool cover and it was delivered fast and fit great. So much easier than having to go out to the stores . I was given free shipping so that made it even better!

So far, so good.

This is my first pool cover so I can't compare to others. Correct size. We shall see how many years it lasts.

Did not hold up for even one season
Size: 20 by 40-Feet
Placed the cover over the pool and the mesh acted like a fully opened sieve and lost hundreds (if not thousands) of gallons from the pool water below that leaked upward and ended up on top of the cover. The company had too severe of a return policy that it was going cost us almost the same price as we would receive for it to mail it back. ... show more

Ecomonical and seems to work well
Size: 20 by 40-Feet
It's pictured with water tubes that aren't included, but I bought those separately and it went on easily and supported the weight of my 10 pound puppies when they jumped on it. It was wide enough to go around my permanent ladder and we used clamps on the bars to hold it in place. Big tree limbs have fallen on it from storms, but it seems to be holding up. The cost compared to paying for service through winter is well worth it. I don't know if it will last longer than a year or what it will take to get the pool ready when spring comes around, but I'm optimistic and happy that all of the bugs that are on top won't be in there. ... show more
