SwimlineHYDROTOOLS 52000 Premium Solar Reel System For Above Ground Swimming Pools | Durable | Non-Corrosive | Socket Mountable | With Straps & Hardware | Easy Cranking | TUBE KIT NOT INCLUDED

Muy bueno

Everything work great. Better than the one I bought at my pool supplier

It was a quality product. Exactly was was required for my existing cover and pole and delivered on time

Owned 1 week. Also purchased the hydrotool pole (54000).Received defective product at first (plastic was molded out of shape not allowing reel to roll). Amazon was great replacing with 1 day shipping.Replacement worked perfect. The instructions aren't great, but installed within 2 hours. I have a 21' round pool so installed right down the center. Rolling the cover up is incredibly easy (about 20 seconds). I love how the reel swivels right and left and open at the top so you can lift the pole up to remove it completely. Cranks on both ends will be useful if someone else wanted to help, but it's easy to roll by myself. Any debris on top of the cover goes in the water when you roll it up, but that's with any solar reel on a round pool. It's too early to speak to the durability of the resin/plastic, but it seems strong; doesn't bend as I crank the cover on/off.Putting the cover back on is not so easy. With the pole in the middle, the cover should unroll on both sides. Instead, the cover sticks to the other side and both sides roll out to just the right. I use my skimmer pole to separate, but it's easier to be in the pool when you start unrolling it. Once you get it started, it's goes pretty smooth. It takes me about 3-5 mins to get the cover back on by myself.I've noticed my cholrine is lasting longer compared to when I didn't use my solar cover.Overall, worth the money and I'm now using my solar cover all the time (I used to not ever want to mess with it). This will definitely give me more swimming time in the season.

Perfect fit for my solar blanket reel, looks and works great!!
