Arctic Armor In-Ground Pool Winter Cover

No, the water tubes are not included. While the cover features integrated loops to hold them in place, you will need to purchase the appropriate number of water tubes separately to secure the perimeter.

The 5-foot overlap is designed to provide extra material beyond the pool's dimensions, ensuring the cover can drape securely over the edge and accommodate different water levels or pool shapes without pulling taut.

The black underside is specifically designed to block sunlight from reaching the water. By preventing photosynthesis, it significantly inhibits algae growth, which makes your pool much easier to clean when you open it in the spring.

No, this specific model is engineered exclusively for in-ground pools. It relies on water tubes and corner grommets for anchoring, which are not compatible with the cable-and-winch systems typically used for above-ground pools.

The scrim count refers to the density of the weave within the polyethylene material. A 14x14 count indicates a high-density weave, which provides superior tear resistance and structural strength compared to covers with lower thread counts.

Yes, the reinforced corner grommets are essential for securing the cover properly. They provide extra stability at the corners, which are the points most susceptible to wind lift and wear during the winter months.
