Pool Mate 1-3748--02 Pool Pillows, 4 ft. x 8 ft., 2-Pack for Above Ground Pools

The Pool Mate Deluxe Winterizing Air Pillow serves as a stress absorber for ice accumulation in your pool. Instead of exerting pressure onto the pool walls, the expanding ice exerts pressure onto the pillow. These ice equalizer pillows are essential for safeguarding your pool during the winter months. The pillow will burst before any ice damage occurs to your pool. Additionally, the ice equalizer pillows help reduce the accumulation of rainwater, leaves, and snow on your winter cover. Simply inflate the pillow and place it under the cover for the duration of winter. It is important not to overinflate the pillow, as this may cause the valve to pop out during the winter months (it is recommended to fill the pillow halfway to two-thirds full). For round pools, smaller equalizer pillows are suggested, while oval pools require larger pillows. Using multiple pillows can provide extra protection in the event that one fails, but it may necessitate a larger pool cover size than initially expected. The 2-Pack 4 ft. x 8 ft. Pool Pillows are specifically designed for above ground pools. These pool pillows absorb the pressure caused by ice accumulation under the pool cover, thereby preventing damage to the pool walls. They effectively force debris from the center of the pool towards the sides, making cleaning easier. Furthermore, these pillows raise the pool cover to prevent water from seeping through. To prevent premature popping, it is best to fill the pillows halfway to two-thirds full. If you encounter difficulty closing the valve, using a hair dryer to loosen it beforehand may assist.
