Air cushion for pool 4′ × 8′ – Winterization

The 4′ × 8′ air cushion (≈ 1.22 × 2.44 m) fits in the center of the pool, under the winter cover. It creates a slight slope that channels rainwater and meltwater toward the edges instead of pooling in the middle. Result: fewer water pockets, less load on the cover and structure, and a faster season start.
Designed for above-ground pools (round or oval), it installs in minutes and can be used season after season. Available in multiple sizes to fit your pool.

Key points

• Size: 4′ × 8′ (≈ 1.22 × 2.44 m)

• Reduces water and snow accumulation in the center of the cover

• Reduces freeze pressure on the cover and walls

• Helps drainage toward the perimeter for easier maintenance

• Quick installation and reusable

• Ideal for above-ground pools (round/oval)

• Other sizes available (see options)

Usage (quick)

1. Inflate to ~60–70%: the cushion should remain compressible to absorb freezing.

2. Place it in the center of the pool (attachments/cords if needed).

3. Deploy the winter cover over it and secure.

4. Periodically check alignment and air level during the season.

Pro tips

• Avoid over-inflation: an overly rigid cushion absorbs expansion less effectively.

• Add a cover pump or a siphon to drain water off the cover.

• For large pools, use two cushions or choose a larger size.

Compatibility

• Above-ground pools.

• Works with most winter covers and cable/winch systems.
