My post was not weather I should get a solar cover or what it does. The post was suggestions for a solar reel. It is so hard to put it on because it is so heavy and somewhat a hassle to take it off. I was asking for advise on a good reel to purchase. I have the cover and have to use it every night or my pool gets cold.

Because of all the post by others on how bad their reels were and how hard they were to turn after a year or so I wanted to get a good one. I am suspecting the bearings were cheap or were plastic or no bearings at all which caused them to go bad. I was asking other pool owners if they had purchased a good heavy duty one that they liked or would recommend.

Thank you
