Description
Arctic Armor 10-Year Solid Winter Cover for 24' x 40' In-Ground Pools
Solid off-season protection for in-ground pools.
The Arctic Armor 10-Year Solid Winter Cover for 24' x 40' in-ground pools (model WC425-4, SKU PST-WC425-4) keeps leaves, dirt and branches out of the water from closing day until you open in spring. The finished cover measures 29' x 45', which builds in a 5' total overlap that leaves about 2 to 2-1/2 feet of material on each side once it is centered, and it is sized for water lowered up to 18" below the deck. It is gray woven polyethylene with a 9x9 scrim, heat-sealed seams and a black underside, backed by a 10-year limited warranty with the first two years full.
Why PST Customers Pick This
Solid Woven Polyethylene
Gray woven polyethylene with a 9x9 scrim and heat-sealed seams. Leaves, dirt and branches stay on top of the cover all winter instead of settling into the water.
UV Inhibitors, Black Underside
The woven polyethylene strands are treated with UV inhibitors against sunlight degradation, and the black underside is there to prevent algae growth.
Water Tube Loops Every 4'
Loops sewn every 4' around the edge hold your water tubes in place along the deck. Water tubes are sold separately.
5' Total Overlap
The cover is cut 5' longer and 5' wider than the pool it is listed for, so a centered cover leaves about 2 to 2-1/2 feet on every side to secure.
Let the Rain Sit on Top
The cover is made to collect rainwater all winter without harm. Do not pump it off in the fall: that water holds the cover in place and protects it from wind damage.
Sized to Your Water Level
Built for water lowered up to 18" below the deck. If you usually drop the water further than that when you close, choose a larger cover size.
Not a Safety Cover
This winter cover protects a closed pool from the elements. It is not designed or intended as a safety cover. Stay off the cover at all times, keep everyone else off it, and never leave children unsupervised near the pool, covered or uncovered.
Specifications
Frequently Asked Questions
What size cover do I order?
Order by your pool size, not the cover size. This cover is listed for 24' x 40' in-ground pools and measures 29' x 45', so the 5' total overlap is already added. It is sized for water up to 18" below the deck; if you drop the water further than that at closing, go up a size. Never stretch a cover that comes up short to make it reach.
How do I hold the cover down?
With water tubes, sold separately, set in the loops sewn every 4' around the edge. Skip sharp blocks and other makeshift weights: sharp blocks cut and scuff the cover, and the warranty treats makeshift hold-downs as improper installation.
Which Arctic Armor in-ground cover should I choose?
The three solid lines install the same way and all have a black underside. The 10-Year is gray with the first two years full, the 12-Year is green with the first two years full, and the 15-Year is blue with the first three years full, each pro-rated through the year in its name. Rugged Mesh is a black mesh cover that lets rain and snowmelt drain through, with the first year full and pro-rating through year 8. A Leaf Net goes on top of your winter cover to catch falling leaves.
Can I put the cover on myself?
Yes, and one or two helpers make it faster. Tape over any exposed sharp edges first, and pad coping or other rough spots the cover will rub against. Spread the cover evenly so the overlap is the same on all four sides, because an off-center cover can malfunction and voids the warranty. Then set your water tubes in the loops.
How does the 10-year warranty work?
It is a 10-year limited warranty. The first two years are unconditional on fabric and workmanship; after that, material degradation is pro-rated as a credit toward a new winter cover. A purchase receipt is required for every claim, and the purchaser pays handling and shipping on the replacement. Improper installation voids the coverage. Damage from wind, snow and heavy rain is not covered.
