Heavy Duty In-Ground Pool Cover Water Tubes
Heavy Duty In Ground Pool Cover Water Tubes

Heavy Duty In-Ground Pool Cover Water Tubes

18-ga. Will Not Split Like Lighter Weight Pool Cover Water Bags!
Our rugged water tubes will not split like thinner 14- or 16-gauge water bags. Our water bags are up to 33% heavier than other pool cover water bags. Quality Halkey Roberts(r) no-leak valves are easily filled with a hose.

To help determine how many water tubes are needed for your pool, refer to our Water Tube Chart (on the right). You can space your water tubes 4-6" apart on your pool cover. Bags should be placed near the edge of the cover, at least 18 inches from the inside edge.

Adding a little swimming pool antifreeze to the bags can help prevent freeze damage, and placing a small bucket of water near the pool may keep thirsty birds and squirrels from poking your water bags to drink.

The Absolute Single Water Tubes feature heat sealed perimeter edges and are treated with UV inhibitors to provide years of dependable usage.
