The Blue Wave Arctic Armor winter cover uses a dense 10x12 scrim woven polyethylene fabric and reinforced, heat-sealed seams to create a watertight barrier that keeps debris and precipitation out while the black underside limits sunlight exposure. Included aluminum grommets, a vinyl-coated cable, and a metal winch make securing this cover straightforward so it remains snug through wind and snow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow well does this cover block debris and moisture?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe solid polyethylene panel prevents leaves, sticks, and most precipitation from passing into the pool, reducing the amount of organic material that settles in over winter.
