Pool Winter Pillow — key benefits and features Why you need it Protects pool liners from cracking, splitting, and stretching caused by ice pressure. Acts as a reliable ice compensator so freezes are absorbed by the pillow, not your liner. Reduces unexpected spring maintenance by preventing freeze damage during winter months, saving time and costs. Stable, longterm performance that also doubles as a comfortable, buoyant cushion for seasonal water use. Main features Ice compensator function: Designed to take ice expansion and shifting, protecting liner seams and walls during freeze cycles. Coldresistant construction: Made from quality, weatherproof PVC for seasonlong durability and resistance to low temperatures. Leakresistant stability: Built to maintain pressure and buoyancy without frequent reinflation across extended seasonal use. Double valve system: Two valves enable fast inflation and deflation, moving air up to 10x faster for quick setup, removal, and storage. Compact and foldable: Deflates flat and folds for compact storage between seasons. Easy installation: Ropecentering method and corner sealing rings simplify placement and keep the pillow centered across the pool surface. Accessible cleaning: Design positions debris so it remains reachable for skimming or vacuuming, minimizing time spent on maintenance. Material and performance Construction: quality PVC with a coldresistant structure for reliable performance in freezing conditions. Function: Absorbs ice movement and pressure; maintains buoyancy and shape through seasonal temperature changes. Usability: Quick inflation/deflation and compact storage make seasonal preparation straightforward and efficient. Practical use scenarios Winter pool protection: Place the pillow on the water surface before a freeze to compensate for ice expansion, keeping the liner and walls safe until thaw. Offseason storage and maintenance: Inflate for winterizing, then deflate and fold for compact storage; use the double valves to speed the process after the season ends. Seasonal relaxation: During milder weather, the pillow provides stable buoyancy for comfortable lounging on the water while retaining protective capability when temperatures drop. What to expect Simple setup with ropecentering and corner rings; no special tools required. Faster inflation and deflation using the double valves for efficient seasonal switching. Durable, weatherproof material built to resist cold and maintain a secure seal throughout the winter. Note: Designed specifically to function as a pool winter pillow and ice compensator. Follow standard poolwinterizing practices for results.
