Description

Heavy Duty Blue Double Water Tube 10 ft

Water tubes are an essential component for effectively winterizing your swimming pool, providing a reliable solution for securing winter covers. Designed to be filled with water, these tubes act as weights to hold down the edges and corners of your pool cover, ensuring it remains securely in place throughout the winter months. By preventing the cover from shifting or blowing away in strong winds, water tubes help protect your pool from debris, dirt, and harsh weather conditions, ultimately preserving the cleanliness and integrity of your pool.

The importance of using water tubes cannot be understated, as they play a vital role in maintaining the condition of your pool during the off-season. By keeping the cover taut and in place, water tubes help prevent leaves, twigs, and other debris from entering the pool, reducing the need for extensive cleaning when it's time to reopen. Additionally, they help prevent water from pooling on top of the cover, which can lead to sagging and potential damage. By investing in water tubes, pool owners can enjoy peace of mind knowing that their pool is well-protected and ready for use when warmer weather returns.

When using water tubes, it's important to fill them only 1/2 to 3/4 full, as water expands when it freezes and can rupture the tubes if overfilled. For added protection against freeze damage, consider adding a small amount of non-toxic pool antifreeze. When installing, place the tubes around the perimeter of the pool cover, approximately 18 inches apart. In windy areas, positioning the tubes end to end can provide additional stability. Always use water tubes or winter cover blocks instead of sharp or abrasive items like bricks or cinder blocks, which can cause rips and tears in the cover. For convenience, water tubes can be filled using a standard garden hose, and it's recommended to ensure the filler caps are facing upwards during installation. By following these tips, you can maximize the effectiveness of your water tubes and keep your pool in excellent condition all winter long.

    Works Great

    They are water tubes... you fill them and they anchor the pool cover. Simply put.
