The tubes are filled with water on site and laid either through the cover straps or along the top of the cover edge. Their weight is what keeps the cover from shifting, lifting in the wind or letting leaves and dirt work their way underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy the double chamber matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA plain round tube rolls. Wind gets under the cover, the tube turns, and by January it has walked away from the edge it was holding down. This tube is built as two chambers side by side, which gives it a flat stance that will not roll, and that matters most in exposed yards and on sloped decks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFilling them\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDo not fill to the top. Water expands as it freezes, and a tube filled solid is a tube that splits before spring. Leave some air, and the same tubes come back out year after year.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pooltux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48633370706132,"sku":"WTB-70-1001","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_299eeb09-a772-42de-a0e1-3da57ed98bf2.jpg?v=1788798577","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/1x8-16-gauge-double-pool-cover-water-tubes","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
