TAKE THE FUSS OUT OF USING YOUR SOLAR BLANKET! This single-person deluxe reel features a needle-bearing race at both ends for effortless removal of your solar blanket. The unique “lift-off and swing” feature allows the reel to be pivoted out of the way by one person. The reel is anchored by rugged mounting brackets that are permanently installed on your pool’s top rail (rail must be at least 6”). These mounting brackets allow you to remove your reel in the fall and install your winter cover without obstruction. The hand cranks and bases are constructed of durable non-corroding polymer material that will last and last. Our reel will fit either oval or round pools.
