Swimline RipStopper 15' x 30' Oval Above-Ground Winter Pool Cover, 19' x 34', Green/Black | RIG1530
Heavy-Duty Winter Protection for 15' x 30' Oval Above-Ground Pools
The Swimline HydroTools RipStopper RIG1530 is a premium solid winter cover designed for 15' x 30' oval above-ground swimming pools. With an actual cover size of approximately 19' x 34', the RipStopper provides generous overlap around the pool while its reinforced woven polyethylene construction helps protect against snow, ice, leaves, dirt and harsh winter weather.
What is the Swimline RIG1530?
The Swimline RIG1530 RipStopper is a heavy-duty solid winter pool cover for 15-foot by 30-foot oval above-ground pools. The actual cover measures approximately 19' x 34' to provide extra material around the pool perimeter, and it includes the cable and winch hardware needed for a traditional above-ground winter cover installation.
Replacing a Discontinued GLI 15' x 30' Oval Cover?
The Swimline RIG1530 is an excellent current winter-cover alternative for customers replacing discontinued GLI 45-1530OV-ESM-3-BX and other 15' x 30' oval above-ground winter covers.
Important: This is not an exact material replacement. The discontinued GLI Estate model used a drain-through mesh design, while the Swimline RipStopper is a solid winter cover. Both are designed around a 15' x 30' oval above-ground pool, but water does not drain through the RipStopper fabric, so accumulated rainwater and snowmelt should be managed with an appropriate cover pump.
Why Choose the RipStopper RIG1530?
Swimline's RipStopper series is engineered as its heavy-duty winter-cover option. The reinforced interlocking weave is designed to resist tearing and punctures while providing dependable seasonal protection for above-ground pools. Its solid construction helps keep unwanted debris and precipitation out of the pool during winter shutdown.
Important Pool Cover Sizing Information
15' x 30' is the intended pool size, not the physical size of the winter cover.
The RIG1530 cover itself measures approximately 19' x 34', providing additional material around the pool so the cover can extend over the top rails and be properly secured.

Product Details
Swimline developed its RipStopper series for pool owners looking for a stronger, more durable seasonal winter cover. Reinforced interlocking woven construction helps resist punctures and tearing while the solid material creates a barrier between the pool water and winter debris.
The RIG1530 is specifically sized for standard 15' x 30' oval above-ground pools.
Installation & Winterization
Position the cover over the pool so excess material is distributed around the perimeter. Route the included steel cable through the cover's perimeter grommets and secure it with the included winch according to Swimline's installation instructions.
Because the RipStopper is a solid cover, rainwater and melted snow can collect on its surface. Use an appropriate pool-cover pump and follow proper winter-cover maintenance procedures throughout the season.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size pool does the Swimline RIG1530 fit?
It is designed for a standard 15' x 30' oval above-ground swimming pool.
What are the actual dimensions of the RIG1530?
The finished winter cover measures approximately 19' x 34', providing additional material
beyond the pool dimensions for installation.
Is the RIG1530 a mesh or solid cover?
RIG1530 is a solid woven-polyethylene winter cover. Rainwater does not freely drain through
the cover like it does through a mesh cover.
Does the Swimline RIG1530 include installation hardware?
Yes. The cover includes perimeter grommets, a steel cable and a winch for securing it around
an above-ground pool.
Can RIG1530 replace GLI 45-1530OV-ESM-3-BX?
It can be used as an alternative winter cover for the same 15' x 30' oval above-ground
pool size. However, the products are not identical: the discontinued GLI Estate model was
mesh, while the Swimline RipStopper is solid.
Is this a safety cover?
No. RIG1530 is a traditional above-ground winter pool cover and is not an anchored,
load-bearing safety cover. Never walk or stand on the cover.
What warranty does the Swimline RipStopper include?
Swimline currently lists the RipStopper series with a 2-year full guarantee and
15-year prorated warranty. Manufacturer warranty terms and exclusions apply.
