Arctic Armor Pool Cover
Best heavy duty protection for pool owners in snowy climates.
This heavy-duty cover is the ultimate insurance policy for your pool’s off-season. By combining a light-blocking black underside with a generous overlap, it effectively starves algae of the sunlight it needs to thrive. You sacrifice a bit of setup time for a significantly cleaner, stress-free spring opening.
