Blue WaveBlue Wave 4-ft x 4-ft Air Pillow for Above Ground Pool

Get these for my 15 x30 oval above ground pool cover. 1 in the center is good for the winter. Get 2 or 3 winters out of one before they leak.

I was told to weight down the cover with a little water, as to keep the cover from flapping around.I tied this product to the centre of my pool.The weight of the ice around it must have been too much, as it was popped two days later.Maybe i would suggest having some slack in your lines to prevent this from happening.I only rated this 4-stars, because how quickly it died. Should be a bit more durable for the price.

Is easy to use and works great ,plus helps keep pool cover up so water doesn’t sag the cover.

I had high hopes for this product but ended up disappointed. I did a great deal of research on air pillows for use in winterizing our above ground pool and felt that if I used this correctly it should work fine. It arrived in a timely manner (so far so good) and looked relatively well made. Nothing fancy but its not meant to be. I inflated it to the point I could place my foot in the middle and touch the ground. Can't recall if it came with the instructions for inflating but I read them in a previous review and watched several videos on line. The valve had an outer plug and an inner flap (that isn't a technical term but seems appropriate) and looked like it would hold securely. Didn't hear any air leaks so we positioned it in the middle of the pool and put on the winter cover. Easy peasy. It was late in the day so we waited to put on the pool wrap until the next morning. Good thing we did because when I went out to show a friend the ingenious pool pillow I was met by a flat cover and no pillow to be seen. What?!?! Yes, the pillow deflated overnight. Off with the cover and there was the flaccid pillow. Insert confused, annoyed face here. We removed the pillow and the valve seemed secure and there was no obvious reason for the deflation. I suppose we could have taken the time to find the air leak and try to repair it but it hardly seemed worth the effort. My husband has suggested using a large play ball that our granddaughter had long since forgotten after it blew into the barn during a storm the summer before. That $2,99 ball soon had a strap around it and was secured in the middle of the pool. Cover back on and winterizing wrap applied shortly after. Approximately two months later and that makeshift solution is still inflated and doing the job of keeping rain water to the sides so its easy to pump out. Lesson learned, husband feeling smug and wallet a few bucks lighter.Save yourself the headache and wasted money and buy a play ball at your local discount store. I gave it two stars because the shipping was timely and some people seem to have had a better experience, plus hate is a really strong word.

So far works good wish it had holes on all four corners to tie in place cause as water gets on pool cover it will push the pillow to one side. Definitely tie all four corners to pool, i didnt at first but then had to lift cover and tie the other ends down ( just tied them around the corners cause no holes) as the pillow kept moving to one side

Some have said this does not hold air. I've had no problems. However, I think the reason some don't hold air is because you have to be REALLY meticulous when seating the cap. It has two seals on it, and if you don't get it pressed down just right, air will leak. A little extra effort and there shouldn't be a problem. Also, when inflating it, I couldn't get the flap to open up...almost like it was sealed shut. Just push around the edges of the flap with a rounded tip object and go in a circle, and eventually it will open. Oh, and don't even try to inflate this by mouth. I used an air compressor and it still took a while. I inflated it almost to capacity and then deflated it a little to allow some room for expansion and contraction. Has been fine so far.

It serves its purpose. My pool is only 14’ so it’s good. Only disliked was that there are only holes in two corners to tie off so putting a cover on shifts it from the center of the pool. Had there been a hole in each corner it would’ve made life easier when putting the cover on

This air pillow is perfect for my Intex, 12 foot, above ground pool that I’ve needed to cover when heading out of town for work. It’s a4’ X 4’ square pillow that I’m simply using to keep the cover off of the water so the top side won’t fill with too much rain water while I’m away.The price for the pillow was very reasonable. My one concern might be that the grommets are not metal, but are made with the material of the pillow and an maybe an additional thin rubber ring. Doesn’t seem like it would hold up for very long; however, it has made it through 2 closings so far.

Really impressed with this. I use this in a 12 foot pool between the solar cover and debris cover to stop rain collecting in middle of pool and weighing down the covers. Previous years I’ve used our large inflatable swim rings but they have never lasted as the constant weight of the water when it rains make them pop.

I’d of given this zero stars if it allowed me. Terrible quality, used this item to close my pool and go under the cover. I might of well used a kids pool floaty. Noticed after a few days that it was deflated and sunk down into water before pool even froze over. Don’t waste your money. Seller won’t even replace or refund either. Hard no for this waste of money

At some point through the night last tonight this burst. It's December in Southern Ontario so it's not even that cold yet. There is a layer of ice and water on the tarp so I don't think I can get another one underneath now. I'm just crossing my fingers now that my pool survives the winter.Don't buy this product.

J'en ai reçu un qui définirait en 24 heures ,j'ai fait une demande de remplacement et celui que j'ai reçu en remplacement , je ne pouvais pas le gonflé. Donc ne faites pas cet article ça ne vaut rien.

Pillow blew up fine but weight of cover tore All 4 rope loops off and only few weeks being on. I wouldn’t recommend little wind and cover moves easily tire them right off.
