Winter Air Pillows

Vinyl air pillow are a must for aboveground pools in climates where water in the pool can freeze. These vinyl pillows are inflated with air from a vacuum cleaner and secured to the middle of your pool. We have grommetts in two corners for you to secure in pool center. Your pool cover goes over the pillow. The purpose of the air pillow or ice equalizer is to allow for some ice expansion inside the pool. When water freezes it expands. The pillow compresses relieving pressure on the metal pool wall. Without a pillow your pool may burst. Small round pools use a 4' x 4' pillow. Larger round pools use a 4'x8' pillow. All ovals use a 4.5' x 15' pillow. Pillows give you a secondary benefit of keeping the center of the pool cover elevated so the water and winter debris collects on the outer ring of the pool. Some in-ground pool owners use a pillow or two because they like the way the elevated cover makes it easier to get the water and debris off in the spring.

Take the pressure off your aboveground pool with our inflatable pillows. Made of sturdy PVC, they hold up your aboveground pool wintercover and inhibit the buildup of snow, ice, and debris during the winter months.
