This cover is constructed from a dense 7x7 scrim woven polyethylene with reinforced, heat-sealed seams to block debris and limit sunlight penetration. Its solid panel design prevents debris from passing through while the black underside reduces light, helping the pool stay cleaner until reopening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this cover keep out leaves, rain and snow?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Arctic Armor uses a tightly woven 7x7 scrim polyethylene panel with welded seams that create a continuous barrier across the pool. Because the fabric is solid rather than mesh, debris rests on top and cannot fall into the water, and the underside’s dark color reduces sunlight exposure that can accelerate grime buildup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7x7 scrim woven polyethylene resists tearing and punctures\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeat-sealed seams prevent seam splitting and block moisture entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid panel design retains debris on top for easier removal at opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack underside limits sunlight to slow dirt and algae-prone conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat hardware and fastening options are included and recommended?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover ships with a vinyl-coated cable and a metal winch that thread through grommets spaced every 2 feet for a tight fit. For added stability, sewn water-tube loops are spaced every 4 feet so you can use water tubes (sold separately) instead of deck anchors, making the cover secure without drilling into the deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrommets every 2 ft accept supplied cable and winch for tensioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSewn loops every 4 ft for water tube attachment (water tubes not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtra 5 ft overlap on all sides for easier anchoring and coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo people recommended for faster, safer installation on this size pool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I care for and maintain the cover over winter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause this is a solid debris cover, water and snow will collect on top; a small amount of standing water helps hold it down in wind. Remove heavy snow with a soft-bristle broom and, if excessive water accumulates, use a cover pump (sold separately) to clear it before spring to avoid strain on the fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrush off heavy snow with a soft-bristle broom to protect seams\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse a cover pump after storms to remove excess standing water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDo not walk on the cover or place weight on it—this is not a safety cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInspect tension and cables periodically and retighten if needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat warranty and support come with this pool cover?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlue Wave backs the Arctic Armor with an 8-year limited warranty that provides full coverage in year one and prorated protection through year eight.

Pool owners with a 14 x 28 ft rectangular in-ground pool who want a robust, solid winter debris cover that limits sunlight and keeps leaves, twigs and precipitation out of their pool. It’s ideal for those who prefer a durable, low-maintenance barrier over the winter months and are willing to use a cover pump or broom to manage surface water. Note that this product is a debris cover, not a safety cover—do not allow foot traffic or support weight on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Is this cover safe to walk on?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. This is a debris cover, not a safety cover.
