SWIMLINE HYDROTOOLS 51050 Advanced Resin Solar Reel System For Inground Pools | Retractable Wheels | Straps & Hardware | Heavy Duty | Pinch Roller Bearings | Tilt Resistant | TUBE KIT NOT INCLUDED

Bought this product a year ago and finally got the gumption to put it in. Mounted their hardware to a 4 x 4 post which I put down into the ground 3 feet used their pole kit as well which came with all the clips and Velcro tape. By adding a noodle that I zip tied onto the end of the Solar cover and now it’s very easy to get the cover on and off. I’ll most likely remove most of the plastic pieces except for the main mount tubes for the fall and winter. Great product for my above ground 12’ pool!

We needed replacement ends for our solar cover reel. These are pretty close to what we already had. The plastic is a touch thinner than our old ones, but it still feels sturdy. Assembled easily and rolls nicely. It doesn't come with the pole, but I knew that from reading the description.

I really like this product. Installation instructions have serious flaws. The only screws that are SS are the ones that mount the real to the deck. All the other screws that attach to the pole are not SS and could rust with a salt water pool. I used only SS screws. Helpful hint: mount the two outer straps to the pole a few inches more toward the pool edge then where they mount to the solar cover. This causes the outer straps to pull the solar cover tight resulting in a smoother tighter fold around the pole.

Fast Fast Fast!!!!!

The title says Reel System, yet it is only the handle ends. A reel "system" should include everything- mounts, straps and attachments for the solar cover, the bar to attach the cover to, hardware, etc. I have returned the item, as it was not what I intended for my mother's gift. My father informed me that it states in the package or contents that he needs to buy the pole kit and the diameters are different for each size pool, so he could end up with poles that don't fit the handle/ends and the poles are an additional $200 - $300. Very disappointing.

Our pool is 20x40; I needed a way to take the solar cover off by myself & didn’t like it piled up to the side. I was very excited about the commercial quality & that the cover would be neatly out of the way when not in use. My research suggested 3 or 4” tubes sag, so I bought the 5”. It was difficult to put together, the sections didn’t ‘lock’, lining up to drill the holes took some time. It is impossible to roll up myself (I couldn’t roll 3/4 of it without help). It sags. Although the leg supports are adjustable (was hoping to go over diving board) but were not strong enough & tipped when trying to roll along pavers so I had to move to a lower setting & roll off to the side. We’ve had a heat wave, so I haven’t bothered to use the cover and am not looking forward to it when I need it. What a waste of time and money.

It took some time, but I installed this reel system with their recommended pole. I mounted the actual reel system on two 4' x 4' five foot high pressure treated wooden posts, as I have an INTEX ultraframe pool, and cannot mount to an edge. These posts are at the end of the pool, 2 feet away, where I can still reach the solar blanket to pull it over the pool. I drilled holes in the base of the reel mechanism and then screwed these reels to a wood platform that then goes on top of the 4 x 4 post. Turn handles are screwed to the collar that holds the actual pole, so that nothing moves, then the pole is screwed to that collar. So there is definitely no wobbling or shifting. It took careful measuring to get the length of the poles correct. You need to drill holes in the poles to keep in place together, and for the end keeper plates and straps for the solar blanket-measuring for these also. I did not use their end predrilled plates to hold down the reels. I may put rubber bushings on my reels' bottoms where I drilled and screwed- so that they do not crack on the wood platform I made for each. These reels move beautifully! No struggle whatsoever rolling out the solar blanket onto the pool, or rolling it back up onto the pole again. After taking the time to configure my own pool situation, I am very happy with this product!

Worked perfectly on the roller for the solar cover! Easy to install & adjust.

I purchased this kit for my existing solar reel and it worked perfectly. Recommend
