Solar Cover Reel

FYI -- I edited my post #6 above to include pics. The reason for this reply is to bump it up to show a new post because simply editing a thread does not make it reappear as an unread post. If you are interested, scroll back up to post #6 to see the pics.

It looks like the system works quite well. I especially like the clips you made for it. Good job. I'm still debating how to do it. Since mine is only 18', I'm considering just cutting it in half first and giving that a try.

What happens when you turn on the pump? My cover is still in one piece and the return line from the pump blows it all to one side once in a while.

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.

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.
