Aqua Blocks

December 1st, 2005 · 1 Comment

We closed our in ground pool this past weekend. Instead of using
those blue water bags, we bought Aqua Blocks. They are a plastic box
with a lid that you fill with water. Our hope is that they will last
longer than those blue water bags and be easier to clean up in the
spring.
My question is: Are they everything we hoped for? I am concerned
that the water will evaporate and leave them useless. They do
include a piece of plastic film that you put on top of the water
before closing the lid.
Also, they did not come with instructions, so I just filled them to a
line on the side. They are quite full, but the lid is domed, so will
that allow for freeze expansion?
I always enjoy the comments and advice I get here and want to thank
those folks who always seem to be the ones who respond.

    Has anyone here ever had any luck getting through to this company? I
    bought these for my pool and felt good that they were warrented.
    However, when one cracked over the winter, I contacted the company via
    phone to request a replacement. All I ever get is a recording saying
    that they will get back to me. They never do.
