Blue Wave Arctic Armor Above Ground Pool Winter Cover

The mesh is designed to block leaves, sticks, and larger debris from entering your pool. However, because it allows water to pass through, it does not block sunlight, so you will still need to use a winterizing chemical kit to prevent algae growth.

No, that is the primary advantage of this cover. Because the material is porous, rainwater and melting snow drain directly through the mesh into the pool, eliminating the need for a cover pump to remove standing water.

This cover is specifically sized for an 18 ft x 38 ft oval pool. It is designed to have enough overlap to secure properly, so if your pool dimensions differ significantly, it will not fit correctly and may not stay secure during high winds.

The material is UV-resistant, which helps prevent the fabric from becoming brittle, cracking, or fading under prolonged sun exposure during the off-season.

The polypropylene mesh is lightweight, making it much easier to handle and position than traditional solid vinyl covers. While it is manageable for one person, having a second pair of hands makes the initial unfolding and securing process faster.

This cover features triple-reinforced, double-stitched hems. These stress points are where most covers fail, so this added reinforcement significantly increases the cover's ability to withstand harsh winter winds and heavy snow loads.
