Blue Wave Arctic Armor 14x28 ft Rectangular In-Ground Pool Winter Cover — Solid Debris Barrier, Heat-Sealed Seams

Blue Wave Arctic Armor 14x28-ft Rectangular In-Ground Pool Winter Cover is a heavy-duty solid debris cover that blocks leaves, rain, and snow to keep your pool cleaner through the off-season.

Closing your in-ground pool for winter shouldn’t mean fighting algae, clogged filters, or a long spring clean-up. The Arctic Armor solid winter cover uses a 14x14 laminated scrim woven polyethylene fabric and heat-sealed seams to form a durable barrier against debris and moisture. Its solid paneling prevents debris from passing through, while the black underside limits sunlight to slow organic growth on the pool surface beneath.

How does this cover protect my pool during winter?

The solid construction blocks leaves, twigs, and precipitation from entering the pool, reducing the amount of organic material and contaminants that reach the water. Heat-sealed seams reinforce the fabric to resist splitting and keep moisture out across the surface.

• 14x14 laminated scrim woven polyethylene panel resists tears and punctures
• Solid (not mesh) fabric keeps debris on top for easier removal
• Black underside reduces sunlight penetration to limit algae and grime buildup
• Heat-sealed seams lock out water and strengthen the cover

Will it stay secured over a 14x28-ft rectangular pool?

Yes — the cover is sized for 14x28-ft rectangular in-ground pools and includes an extra 5-foot overlap on every side for full edge coverage. Multiple anchoring options help keep the cover taut and stable even in windy or snowy conditions.

• Metal grommets spaced every 2 feet accept the included vinyl-coated steel cable
• Ratcheting winch included to cinch the cover tight around the pool perimeter
• Sewn water tube loops every 4 feet let you secure the cover with water tubes (sold separately)
• Extra 5-ft overlap ensures full edge protection and easier attachment

How do I install, maintain, and remove the cover properly?

Installation is straightforward but easier with two people for a 14x28 pool. The cover is meant to be a debris barrier, not a weight-bearing safety device — avoid walking on it and use a cover pump or gently remove heavy snow buildup when needed.

• Spread the cover over the pool, align overlap evenly, and thread cable through grommets
• Use the included ratcheting winch to tighten cable; add water tubes in loops for extra hold
• Do not walk on the cover; remove excess snow with a soft-bristle broom or cover pump (sold separately)
• Clean pool edges after heavy snow to prevent ice damage; store cover dry when not in use
