Pool Mate’s 8 ft. water bags come in a 10-pack and use a dual-chamber construction and extra-heavy vinyl so you can fill them easily with a garden hose, position them around the cover edge, and trust they’ll stay put through freeze-thaw cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow are these water bags filled and installed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach bag has a leak-proof valve for fast filling with a standard garden hose; you slide the bag through your cover’s water bag loops and position the chambers across the perimeter.
