Swimline Deluxe Winter Pool Cover – 12 ft x 24 ft Oval Above Ground (PCO81628)
The Swimline PCO81628 is a durable solid winter pool cover designed to protect 12′ x 24′ oval above-ground pools through the off-season. Its tightly woven polyethylene construction helps keep leaves, dirt, and winter debris out of the pool while the black underside helps reduce sunlight penetration for a cleaner spring opening.

Installation Notes
- Complete closing steps first (clean pool, balance water, lower water level as needed, and winterize plumbing).
- Center the cover so overlap is even around the pool.
- Thread the cable through the grommets and tighten evenly so the cover sits snug against the pool wall.
- In windy areas, consider adding above-ground cover clips (optional) for extra security.
- If the cover rubs against the top rail, add protective padding to reduce abrasion.

Maintenance Tips
- Remove heavy leaf piles periodically to reduce stress on the cover and grommets.
- If water collects on top, use a winter cover pump to reduce standing-water weight.
- Check cable tension after major wind events and temperature swings; re-tighten if needed.
- In spring, rinse the cover clean and let it dry completely before folding and storing in a cool, dry place.
