The COCHIE air pillow provides a cushion that directs ice growth away from pool sides, helps distribute force evenly, and keeps a cover from sagging under snow or rain. Built from reinforced PVC with a double-sealed edge and a fast dual Boston valve, this pillow is made for low temperatures and straightforward seasonal use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this pillow protect my pool during freezing conditions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe COCHIE pillow creates a controlled expansion point in the pool’s center so ice forms there first rather than against the walls. That reduces lateral pressure on the pool liner and frame. The design also prevents cover collapse that can concentrate water and debris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlaces ice expansion toward the center to lower wall stress\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStops cover sagging by filling the gap beneath the cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHelps shed snow and rain from the cover to avoid pooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials and cold-weather specs should I expect?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pillow uses 0.3 mm cold-tolerant PVC and reinforced double-sealed seams for extra durability in frigid climates. It’s tested to perform in very low temperatures and resist tears from ice movement. After inflation the pillow’s working footprint and height provide a predictable buffer for winter expansion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.3 mm cold-resistant PVC construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDouble-sealed edges to minimize leaks and punctures\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for temperatures down to about -10°F (-25°C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePost-inflation approximate size: 4' diameter and 2.8' height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow easy is it to install, secure, and remove?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSetup is simple: partially inflate, center in the pool, and anchor with the included fixing rope so the pillow stays put as ice forms. The dual Boston valve speeds both inflation and deflation and accepts standard electric pumps.
