Part # PL0194
Place this sturdy air pillow under your above ground pool cover to protect your pool from the pressure caused by freezing water. As water freezes, it expands and presses against pool walls but an air pillow will absorb some of this pressure and help to protect your pool throughout the winter. By lifting up the center of the winter cover, this 4' x 4' pillow will also help reduce the amount of rain, snow and debris that collects on top. Made of strong 16-gauge vinyl with plastic grommets on two corners. Easy to secure with either rope or string (not included).

I have an above ground pool and I've been told that I need to use an air pillow underneath my winter pool cover. What does the air pillow do?
Reply
An air pillow helps to attract freezing water as it expands and relieves the pool walls from the stress of water expansion.Air pillows also help reduce excess water, leaves, debris and snow on your winter cover.

Every year we use the pillows under our cover and every year some of them deflate even thought the plugs are closed tightly. How can we prevent this from happening. It seems like money wasted if they are not going to stay inflated. Should we duct tape the plugs shut?

Hello, Lori. Sorry to hear about the difficulties with the Air Pillow. Make sure you haven't over inflated the pillow. Inflate the pillow to only 60% to 80% of its capacity to allow for compression and center the pillow in the middle of the pool.

(5 out of 5 stars) Exactly what my pool cover needed!
Reviewed By: Inyo Customer ()
Pillows were reasonably priced and appear durable. They arrived quickly and were easy to inflate with a pump (I don't suggest trying to manually blow them up!!). They installed under my pool cover in seconds... no more holding water! I'm very happy.

Didn't hold air so cover was flat before the snow even came. Ended up filling with water and had to cut it to get it out of the pool.

First time using an air pillow. Positioned easily using the heavy duty grommets. Only challenge is getting the cover across the pool and over the pillow.

This unit when blown up is very big. The material seems to be fairly thick and i believe should last a few years with no problem.The only thing that i wish it had was 2 more tie down points, other than that would highly recommend at this point
