Manufactured from heavy-gauge vinyl and treated with UV inhibitors plus anti-bacterial and anti-fungus additives, these water bags are designed to deliver reliable performance season after season.

Built to withstand extreme sub-zero winter temperatures, PTL Direct water bags resist cracking, splitting, and leaking when properly filled. Their flexible construction allows room for ice expansion, helping maintain even weight distribution around your pool cover to prevent wind lift, debris intrusion, and cover shifting.

Single tubes are perfect for covers with water bag loops, ensuring a snug, consistent hold around the pool perimeter.
