Pool Winterizing Cushion for AboveGround Pools 1 Piece without Cord Keep your aboveground pool liner and walls protected during freezing months with a simple, effective inflatable cushion. Designed to sit in the center of the pool, this winterizing floater helps absorb ice pressure and reduce stress on the pool structure while remaining easy to use and store. Key benefits Protects pool liner and walls by absorbing upward ice pressure and reducing direct contact between expanding ice and the pool edge. Simple to install and remove: inflate, center in the pool, and let it float. Deflate for compact storage in spring. Onepiece design without cord reduces installation complexity and snag points on the pool cover or wall. Lightweight and portable for easy handling, transport, and seasonal storage. What it does and why you need it Acts as a buffer in freezing conditions to minimize liner stretching and splitting when ice forms. Using a cushion is a loweffort way to reduce the likelihood of costly repairs to aboveground pools left installed over winter. Keeps the pool center elevated slightly so fluctuating ice and water movement do not concentrate pressure along the pool walls. Key attributes Function: Inflatable winterizing cushion intended to float at the pool center and absorb ice pressure. Compatibility: Intended for aboveground pools and compatible with common pool liners and wall types. Suitable for pools that remain partially filled for winter. Quantity: Sold as 1 piece, without a cord. Construction: Inflatable singleunit design for easy inflation and deflation, handling, and storage. Performance: Provides stable flotation and pressure distribution when properly centered and inflated. Practical use scenarios Seasonal winterizing: Place the inflated cushion in the center before as temperatures drop and ice begins to form to reduce liner stress during freezing cycles. Midwinter maintenance: Use while leaving the pool partially filled and covered to maintain a buffer between ice and pool walls during thaw and refreeze periods. Temporary protection during unexpected freezes: Quickly inflate and deploy the cushion when a sudden cold snap is forecast to protect the pool until more thorough winterization is completed. How to use Inflate the cushion to firm but not overinflated. Center it in the pool and allow it to float . Cover the pool as usual. Remove, deflate, and store when reopening the pool.
