Fabflame Pool Pillow for Above Ground Pools – 4ft Diameter, 0.6mm PVC, Ice Equalizer with 2 Ropes

Protect and prolong your pool this winter with the Fabflame Pool Pillow

When freezing weather arrives, the Fabflame Pool Pillow acts as an ice compensator, absorbing the pressure from expanding ice beneath your pool cover. By lifting and distributing forces more evenly, it helps guard the walls and liners of above ground pools, making it a practical component of any pool closing kit.

Built for harsh conditions, the pillow uses a 0.6 mm thick PVC shell that feels sturdy to the touch and resists punctures from wind and debris. It remains firm and leak-free even as temperatures plummet, giving you peace of mind through the coldest months.

• 0.6 mm thick, puncture-resistant PVC built for winter toughness
• Stays firm and leak-free down to -13°F / -25°C

Installation is designed for stability and ease. With four corner grommets and two long ropes, you can center the pillow reliably and keep the cover from sagging in the middle during snowfall or rain.

• Two 23 ft (7 m) ropes for secure anchoring
• Four corner grommets ensure stable center positioning

How you use it is simple. Inflate to about 70–80% capacity using any standard air pump, leaving enough space for ice to expand. In spring, deflate, wipe clean, and store for reuse next season.

Real-world use brings additional value. A centered pillow helps flatten the cover, reduces bulk and water pooling, and can contribute to a neater opening when the season returns. This makes winterizing less fiddly and more predictable.

Versatility and long-term value

Designed to fit most pool types, including above-ground, round, and rectangular configurations, the Fabflame pillow supports your cover and can extend its life. It complements other components of a Winter Kit and may lower maintenance tasks over time.

Care, storage, and smart decisions

Keep the pillow ready for multiple seasons by wiping it clean after use and storing it in a dry place. Regular inspection helps you catch wear early and plan replacements before you need them.

Every detail matters when closing a pool for winter. The heavy-duty construction provides tangible confidence during storms, and the included ropes adapt to different deck layouts where anchor points vary. The pillow’s round profile helps it sit within the cover’s ring rather than snag on the frame.

Practical benefits you may notice include flatter covers, less snow and water accumulation in the middle, and a more even distribution of stress across the cover. While results depend on climate and pool setup, many owners report smoother openings after consistent use of the pillow.

Tips for seasonal readiness

• Before closing, check that the cover is clean and the pillow is properly centered
• Keep ropes taut and grommets intact for best stability
• Store in a dry, cool place to extend the pillow’s life
