We do not carry above ground pool winter covers with a built-in drain. We do not recommend using winter covers with drains for above ground pools, as they require extra plumbing and added labor to install and maintain properly.
Instead, all of our above ground pool winter covers feature heat-sealed seams that completely prevent water from passing through. To manage rain and melting ice, we highly recommend using a cover pump. This minimizes excess weight on the cover and prevents it from sinking into your pool. You can find our selection of winter cover pumps here.
A solid cover with a cover pump gives you 100% control over your pool's winter environment. Winter covers with drains can compromise your pool's water clarity, invite algae, create clog risks, and strain your pool structure, potentially creating more work for you in the spring.
