Poolstyle 1′ x 10′ Single Water Tube, 20 Gauge, WTB-1006

The Poolstyle WTB-1006 is a single chamber water tube measuring one foot by ten feet in 20 gauge. Water tubes are what hold a winter cover down along the edge of the pool.

Single chamber, ten feet

One chamber runs the full length of the tube. A ten foot tube covers a long stretch of cover edge in one piece, which leaves fewer gaps between tubes for wind to lift the cover through. 20 gauge is the heavier of the two gauges normally sold for winter use.

Filling

Tubes arrive empty and are filled where they will sit, because a filled tube is too heavy to move any distance. Do not fill to the top. Water expands as it freezes, and a tube filled solid has nowhere to put that expansion, which is how seams split over the winter. Leave a few inches of air.
