Abstract: A pool cover support consisting of a base, vertical member and support member. The base has a bottom, with vertical dividers rising perpendicularly therefrom. The vertical dividers form a plurality of cavities in which weights are placed to anchor the base to the pool floor. The base also has a vertical tube which is slightly larger than the vertical member disposed therein. Atop the vertical member is disposed the support member, which supports the pool cover above the water level of the pool. The height of the pool cover support can be adjusted either at the base or the support member, so that the invention may be used in a variety of swimming pools or tubs having different depths.
