This 4.5 x 15 ft Swimline air pillow is built for above-ground pools, combining a rugged construction with an easy-fill valve and a size that fits many standard pool shapes. The light-blue finish blends unobtrusively under covers while remaining durable enough to withstand repeated winter seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this air pillow protect my pool during freezing weather?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe air pillow acts as an ice compensator: it compresses and absorbs expansion forces from forming ice, lowering the likelihood of pressure-related damage to pool walls and the cover.
