Solar Cover Reel

[Watermom]

As long as my return jet is aimed downward, it does not move the cover. If it is aimed at the surface of the water where I would normally keep it to push floating debris into the skimmer, then it does push the cover.

I have the same size pool as you did then. Do you remember how long each pipe was? Thanks!

Each of the pieces of pvc was 10 feet long.

This thread is a few years old. There is actually another thread started this week where someone was asking the same question ----- how to manage a large round solar cover on an AG pool.

I used the system explained in this thread for quite a few years and it worked well. But, last year, I ran across a product called a Solar Roller Cover Stick that I now use instead. Here is a link to the product in case someone missed that other thread and is interested in this product.

Bumping this up so one of our new members can find it easier.

Where did you get your cover from? Also, the mil of the cover?
Getting so excited to swim and play in our pool.

I got it from Lowe's. I have no idea what the mil is. I think this is my third year with this one.

What great idea! I bought a solar cover for my 15x30 oval AG pool. Have used it once because it is such a bear. I guess this would work for my cover too. Going to try it!

Thanks

Which idea are you referring to? There are a couple of different ones in this thread.
