Blue Wave Arctic Armor 20x40-ft Mesh Inground Pool Cover, Rugged Drainable Winter Cover, 8-Year Warranty

The Blue Wave Arctic Armor 20x40-ft Rugged Mesh Inground Pool Cover is a heavy-duty woven polyethylene winter cover that blocks leaves and debris while letting rain and melting snow drain through for easier spring openings.

Keep your inground pool cleaner all winter with a cover built to resist snow, ice and wind without trapping surface water. Designed for 20 ft x 40 ft rectangular pools with an extra 5 ft overlap, this Arctic Armor cover uses a fine mesh weave and reinforced hems so it stays lightweight for handling yet rugged enough to endure freeze/thaw cycles. Backed by Blue Wave’s 8-year limited warranty and decades of pool experience, it reduces post-winter cleanup and limits the need for cover pumps.

How does this mesh cover prevent water pooling and reduce winter maintenance?

The tightly woven mesh allows rain and melting snow to pass through to the pool rather than collecting on top, so you won’t need to run a pump or manually bail standing water. At the same time the weave keeps leaves, sticks and larger debris from entering the pool, lowering the amount of vacuuming and chemical adjustments at spring opening.

• Fine woven polyethylene mesh sheds surface water into the pool.
• Blocks common winter debris like leaves and twigs.
• Eliminates routine use of a cover pump for standing water.
• Leaves the pool cleaner at reopening, reducing cleanup time.

Will this cover hold up against winter weather and repeated use?

Yes — the cover combines double-stitched hems with triple reinforcement and a durable woven construction to resist tearing from snow, ice and wind. The design balances strength with manageable weight so you can install and remove it without excessive strain, while reinforced corner grommets and water tube loops secure it through storms.

• Double-stitched, triple-reinforced hems for long-lasting durability.
• Woven polyethylene resists rips yet stays lightweight.
• Reinforced grommets and tube loops anchor the cover in windy conditions.
• Engineered to withstand multiple freeze/thaw seasons.

How does sizing and installation work for a 20x40 rectangular pool?

This cover is made specifically for 20 ft by 40 ft rectangular inground pools and includes an extra 5 ft overlap to ensure a secure fit around coping and deck edges. Water tubes (sold separately) thread through the loops and attach at reinforced grommets; combined with proper tensioning, they keep the cover taut and prevent wind from lifting the tarp.

• Sized for 20 ft x 40 ft rectangular inground pools with 5 ft overlap.
• Water tube loops and reinforced corner grommets for anchoring.
• Water tubes are not included and must be purchased separately.
• Lightweight construction simplifies installation and removal.

• 8-year limited warranty (year 1 full coverage, years 2–8 prorated).
