After you drain your in-ground pool’s plumbing and equipment, it’s time to add the insurance policy, a.k.a. Swimming Pool Anti-Freeze. This non-toxic solution is specifically designed for swimming pools and will protect the plumbing down to -40° F. Now, that’s cold!

There is nothing little about the peace of mind provided from the Little Giant Cover Pump. This product not only removes heavy weight on your cover caused by water accumulation, but does it automatically in 2” of water. Just place the unit on your pool cover and watch the Little Giant Pool Cover Pump do all the work.
Air Pillows
Air Pillows were developed to keep your Above Ground pool’s structure safe during the harsh winter months. These products serve two important functions: 1) Absorb freezing water pressure and 2) Provide protection from rain, snow and leaves that fall on your winter cover. Make sure to add an Air Pillow under the Winter Cover when closing your pool for the off-season.

One of the most important accessories for any in-ground pool owner, the Air Supply Liner Vac makes winterizing your pool’s plumbing a blast…literally! It’s as easy as: opening up the plumbing valve that you would like to clear, insert the Liner Vac hose, turn it on and watch this product go to work! After clearing your pool’s plumbing, remember to add Pool Anti-Freeze to prevent your pipes from freezing and cracking during the cold off-season.
Double Water Tubes
These heavy-duty water tubes will tightly secure the winter cover to protect your in-ground pool against inclement weather. One word can describe Water Tubes: EASY. Easy installation. Easy storage.

Have you ever experienced issues with wind getting under your winter cover and exposing your pool to the elements? Not only can this impact the water chemistry, but can significantly increase wear and tear on your cover. The simple and proven solution to avoid this problem is by wrapping the perimeter of your winter cover with the Polarshield Winter Seal. Similar to plastic wrap, this product tightly seals your pool all winter-long.

Protect your pool water with this eco-friendly, but powerful, product!
