This additional material is used to compensate for lower water levels, use of an air pillow and the swimming pool top rails. Secure this cover to your swimming pool with grommets placed every 2. Includes a vinyl coated cable and winch. DRAIN THE RAIN - Winter covers are designed to protect your swimming pool against rain, snow and high winds. It is highly-recommended that all excess water be removed from atop the cover during the off-season. This will elongate the longevity of the material and can be accomplished with use of a cover pump or siphon.

This lightweight cover has 10x10 scrim per square inch and is made from tough polyethylene fabric making it the toughest, most durable material available. Itll keep unwanted items from falling into your swimming pool while closing it up for the season, keeping it debris free until the spring. WINTER IS APPROACHING - The installation of a winter cover will likely require some assistance from friends, family or a friendly neighbor. In advance of seeking help, the water level should be lowered beneath the skimmer, winter plug inserted and the water winterized with closing chemicals.
