Durabilaty of water tubes, December 14, 2008
By Lorrie from I am a retired upstate New York state resident.

Pros: In the harsh winters near Canada, the durability of these tubes place a sense of confidence in the company!
Cons: None at this time

"The water tubes for stablizing the winter cover for my inground pool were priced reasonably, easy to place and very durable. Heavy rains fell before the snow season, and the tubes held well. None of the tubes broke down as others I have had did. Accolades to your company from a satisfied customer!"

Pros: Stays in place when one side fails
Cons: Not very durable

Very Helpful, November 28, 2008
By DannyM4 from Rockland County, NY

Pros: holds cover down
Cons: hard to get the tabs open

Great deal, November 27, 2008
By cmscrapper from Nashville Tn

Pros: Love the quality of the water tubes
Cons: did not like the longer tubes

"This is the 2nd order of water tubes since I have
had my inground pool and I love the quality. This time I decided the longer tubes would be a better deal but after getting them in place decided I liked the 6 ft water tubes better than the 10 ft tubes.
I was able to work with my winter cover better with
the shorter tubes."

Water tubes, October 7, 2008
By windowman from West Chester, PA

Pros: Work great for keeping leaves out from under cover, I am on a hill with lots of trees and occasionally high wind
Cons: Birds & squirrels peck holes in a few each year so I replace 3-4 each year out of 12

"I have purchased tubes from other sources in the past. they do not hold up as well as those from In the swim. Have been a satisfied customer for many purchases"

Great Service and Product too!!, November 29, 2007
By CandyOh from Huntsville, AL

Pros: Fast service, quality product, great help
Cons: One was improperly manufactured, packing made it hard

"These tubes were exactly what I was looking for. I have used these tubes for years and they work perfectly for my pool closing. The delivery time was unbelievable. The tubes were on my front door step in no time at all. I ordered 8 tubes and one was manufactured incorrectly. I contacted customer service and a replacement was here within 2 days. Now that's service! I do wish the individuals who pack the tubes would be more careful to not crimp the red rubber stopper for filling. The crimps made the initial connection difficult but the next time the holes will be re-formed and should be no problem."

These are VERY poor quality, November 25, 2007
By Diane from Portland, OR

"I bought 12 of these and was very careful to avoid abrasion with the concrete. Seven of them had failures in both tubes and two of them in one leaving me with only three functioning. I now have to deal with the shipping and return process (assuming they will be refunded) and find another solution."

By Poolesville from Poolesvville, MD

Pros: Easy to use, durable

Wont be buying these again, October 4, 2007
By PoolMan55

Pros: Cheap
Cons: 3 out of 6 bags had leaks out of the box

"These bags were not what I had in mind when I purchased 16 gauge bags. Out of the box I had 3 out of 6 that were bad. I think I will spend a little more on my bags next time."

Not so good!, September 24, 2007
By PoolLover

Pros: cheap price compared to others
Cons: they break very easy

"I have owned my home (pool) now for only 6 years and I have replaced all of these double water tubes 3x and now I am looking for another solution as this is getting costly, however the pricing is much cheaper than the plastic blocks...as they are only 3 feet, so you're required to have twice as many! UGH!"
