The winter period can be challenging for pool owners. Rain, snow, and ice can accumulate on the pool cover, which can lead to damage and extra maintenance. An effective solution to prevent these problems is the use of a winter air pillow under the pool cover.
What is a winter air pillow?
A winter air pillow is an inflatable pillow that is placed in the center of the pool under the pool cover. It creates a raised point, allowing water, snow, and ice to run off toward the edges instead of accumulating on the cover. This prevents the cover from sagging or becoming damaged by the weight of accumulated water or snow.
Benefits of using a winter air pillow
- Prevents water accumulation: The pillow causes rainwater and melting snow to flow toward the edges, preventing accumulation on the cover.
- Protection against ice formation: The pillow helps prevent ice from forming on the cover, which can lead to tears or other damage.
- Easy to install: The pillow is easy to inflate and place, and can be securely fastened with ropes thanks to the grommets on the corners.
- Durable material: Made of strong PVC material, the pillow is resistant to various weather conditions and will last for multiple seasons.
Specifications
A common size for winter air pillows is 120 cm x 120 cm, with a height of 60 cm when fully inflated. This size is suitable for pools up to 30,000 liters. For larger pools, it is recommended to use multiple pillows to ensure optimal protection.
User experiences
Many users are satisfied with the effectiveness of the winter air pillow. For instance, one customer mentions that the pillow is sturdy and quick to inflate, and that rainwater now drains off the cover smoothly. Another user notes that the pillow is of very sturdy quality and ensures that virtually no water remains on the cover.
Conclusion
Investing in a winter air pillow for your pool is a smart move to protect your pool and cover during the winter months. It prevents the accumulation of water and snow, protects against ice formation, and extends the lifespan of your pool cover. With its easy installation and durable material, it is an essential accessory for any pool owner who wants to get through the winter worry-free.
