The Arctic Armor cover from Blue Wave uses a 14x14 laminated scrim polyethylene fabric with heat-sealed seams and a black underside to block debris, prevent sunlight penetration, and reduce evaporation. The package includes rust-resistant grommets, a vinyl-coated steel cable, and a ratcheting winch so you have everything needed to secure the cover tightly for the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this cover protect my pool from winter debris and weather?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe solid laminated scrim creates a continuous barrier that keeps leaves, branches, and heavy precipitation off the water. Reinforced, heat-sealed seams strengthen the panel and help stop rips from spreading, while the water-blocking solid surface prevents standing water from dripping through into the pool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e14x14 laminated scrim polyethylene resists tears and punctures\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeat-sealed seams form a watertight bond across the cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid panel prevents debris and rain from entering the pool\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack underside reduces sunlight exposure and limits algae-promoting light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it stay secure in wind, snow, and heavy weather?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the cover is designed with grommets placed every two feet and supplied with a vinyl-coated steel cable and ratcheting winch to tension the cover evenly.
