• No water retention: With the XXL pool cushion and the correct tensioning of the cover, you can optimally prevent water pockets.
• Only ONE pillow: Instead of many small pool cushions, you only need one large XXL pool cushion. This way you don't have any more water pockets between the many individual cushions.
• Winterproof: Weather influences, leaves, ice and snow are simply evenly diverted to the side by the large dome and no longer make you work. 
• Better weight distribution: XXL pool cushions are larger and therefore provide better weight distribution than many small cushions. This distributes the weight of snow and ice more evenly on the pool cover and reduces the likelihood of damage.

First of all, you should know the dimensions of your pool. To do this, measure the diameter or the length and width of the upper boundary for which the pool cushion must fit. Then you can find our recommendation for the right pool cushion in the size chart. Click here for the overview.

Ovale Pools sind in ihren Maßen sehr unterschiedlich.  Orientiere dich am besten an den eckigen Poolpolstern und überprüfe welches Maß am besten zu deinem Pool passt. In unserer Size chart findest du einen eigenen Abschnitt zu ovalen Pools mit hilfreichen Grafiken.

It is not important that the pool cushion completely fills your pool. It is more important that the pool cover is tightly stretched with a downward pull. You can find more information about this at the PoolBelts.

Achtform Pools sind sehr unterschiedlich gebaut. Wenn die „Einbuchtung“ in der Mitte sehr eng ist, kannst du mit zwei runden Poolkissen arbeiten. Wenn die Engstelle nicht sehr ausgeprägt ist, kannst du auf ein großes eckiges Poolpolster zurück greifen.

Achte in jedem Fall darauf, dass das Poolkissen ca. 20 cm Abstand zum Poolrand hat um Schäden am Polster zu vermeiden. Und bedenke: Es kommt nicht darauf an, dass das Polster deinen Pool komplett ausfüllt. Wichtiger ist das straffe Abspannen der Abdeckplane mit Zug nach unten. So kannst du Pfützen auf der Abdeckplane vermeiden.

For filling the pool cushion we recommend our Battery air pump, which is available in the store and includes the appropriate filling adapter for the valve built into the pool cushion.

Du kannst auch eine eigene elektrische Luftpumpe verwenden. Bitte beachte dann, dass du es nicht in Wassernähe befüllst.

The pool cushion also has a second valve that allows for quick deflation. This allows the cushion to be easily dismantled, folded and stored after the winter.

The height varies depending on the pool cushion and of course also depends on how bulging you inflate the cushion. The height varies depending on the pool cushion size from about 1 m to 2 m. Look at our Size chart an, dort findest du alle Maße und Infos.

In the fall, most pool owners dismantle the filter system to prevent frost damage. This usually requires draining some water to remove the hoses. The draining height varies depending on the pool, but for most pools it is about 50 to 60 cm, measured from the top of the pool.

Physical Cause:

• Temperature fluctuations: During the winter months, large temperature fluctuations can occur that affect the air pressure inside the pool cushion. When the temperature drops, the air in the pool cushion becomes cooler and the pressure in the cushion decreases. When the temperature rises, the air warms and expands, which can result in higher air pressure inside the cushion.
• Solution: Fill your pool cushion on a rather cold day. You don't have to worry about it getting too much internal pressure on a sunny day. It's durable enough to withstand that without damage. 

Damage to the pool cushion:

• Check valves: Check whether the filling valve and, if necessary, the venting valve are closed properly.
• Search for damage: Inspect the pool cushion for holes or other damage.
• Check pool edge: If the pool cushion is chosen too large and therefore too close to the pool edge, damage could occur due to sharp edges on the pool.
• SolutionIf you find damage, use the included repair kit to patch the hole in no time. 

1. If necessary, cut the repair patch to size 
2. Roughen the surface around the damaged area and the repair patch with sandpaper.
3. Coat both completely with the adhesive
4. Allow adhesive to dry slightly for a short time
5. Press the repair patch
6. With an object weigh down the place for several hours

• Step 1: Drain the water to the first inlet. This will allow you to dismantle your filter system and store it in a frost-proof location.
• Step 2: Place the inflated XXL pool cushion on the water surface. It is best to fully inflate the cushion, as this will prevent it from being pushed to the side by wind pressure.
• Step 3: Attach the cords supplied to the eyelets of the pool cushion and connect them to the pool frame or tie it down to the ground. Make sure that your pool cushion is approx. 20 cm from the edge of the pool. This prevents it from rubbing against the edge of the pool and being damaged in strong winds.
• Step 4: Place the cover over your XXL pool cushion (preferably in pairs). Then stretch it tightly and pull it downwards. Our recommendation for tensioning: The CoverMio fixing set for pool covers.
