It may well break it. Solar reels made out of plastic have plastic roller bearing, not proper ball bearings or metal caged roller bearings, so they get torn up with usage.
An 8 mil SC is pretty light, and you'll get 2, maybe 3 seasons out of it before it will need replacement. A 12 mil will last 3-4, max, and a 16 mil won't last any better. However the heavier covers do insulate better, IMHE.
So your choices are pretty straight forward: Get a metal solar reel, or, get an 8 mil SC, or don't worry about the warranty and use what you want.
