The weight is what does the work: it stops the cover shifting, stops wind from lifting it off the pool, and closes the gap that lets leaves and dirt blow underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the 16 gauge vinyl\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGauge is the wall thickness of the vinyl. At 16 gauge this is a heavier tube than the lightweight versions that tend to split over one winter, which matters most where the tube sits on coping or a rough deck edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is sold as a single tube. A full pool perimeter takes several, so count the edge before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pooltux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48634847199444,"sku":"WTB-70-1000","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_900df051-25a5-4e9c-a7b0-2423cb38a2d9.jpg?v=1788837954","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/1-x-8-single-water-tube-16-gauge","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
