Blue Wave water tubes add weight along the perimeter to help hold an in-ground cover in place through the off-season. Their flexible shape suits straight and curved pool edges, making them useful for kidney-shaped, freeform and rectangular pools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat are Blue Wave double water tubes designed to do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey anchor in-ground pool covers by spreading water weight along the pool edge. A securely held cover resists wind lift and shifting, helping limit debris buildup and reducing the risk of slips and accidental falls around the pool area.

Each tube covers up to 8 ft (2.44 m) of pool perimeter, and the five-pack contains five tubes.

Fill each tube to three-quarters full, leaving room for water expansion if it freezes.
