Arctic Armor Winter Cover

This cover includes a 5-foot overlap on all sides, which is standard for winter covers. This extra material allows the cover to drape over the pool edge and accommodate the water level, ensuring it can be properly secured with water bags or tie-downs.

Yes. The cover is constructed from a tight-weave, opaque polyethylene that blocks sunlight from entering the pool water. Since sunlight is a primary fuel for algae, keeping the pool dark helps maintain cleaner water throughout the off-season.

The cover features loops every four feet for securing water bags, which are the most common method for holding down winter covers. It also includes corner grommets if you need to use additional tie-downs for extra security in windy areas.

The warranty covers manufacturing defects in the material and seams for 8 years, with the first year being fully covered. After the first year, the replacement cost is pro-rated, meaning the manufacturer covers a decreasing percentage of the replacement value as the cover ages.

The seams are heat-sealed, which creates a stronger, more water-tight bond than standard stitching. While this adds significant durability, you should still ensure the cover is properly tensioned to prevent excessive pooling of water or ice, which can stress any cover material.
