An Economical Option to Solar Cover Storage

The HV-1 is a quality solar cover reel option for in-ground pools at an affordable price. This reel’s triangular design and open base allows wind to pass right through, preventing tipping and sliding. Its oversized bearings let the reel roll easily when taking the solar cover on or off the pool, and its hand crank allows for use by just one person.

Using all stainless steel hardware and heavy-duty 4-inch tubing, the HV-1 won’t sag and can be adjusted to pool widths up to 20 feet wide. This solar cover reel only requires 17 inches of clearance, allowing it to fit under most diving boards. Built to be a stationary addition to your pool deck and hold your solar cover securely in place, this solar cover reel helps prevent wear and tear to your solar blanket. The cover can also be quickly released off the reel using the attachment kit.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Manhappenin from A little flimsy I should have spent the extra money to upgrade to something a little more robust. It was purchased for a pool with 16' width. By the time 2 people (required to operate) roll it up, the center rod sags from the weight. There was also a terrible discoloration on the fake chrome colored barrel after the first time I used it and it will not come out.

Rated 5 out of 5 by TBake from The reel was easy to put together. I'm glad I bought this product. With the solar cover, it will heat up much quicker.

Rated 1 out of 5 by jessie123 from so so when I bought this it worked ok for about two seasons then the bearings started giving me problems, took it apart to find they were made of really cheap plastic and disintegrated causing the real to jam constantly. the screws that held the reel bar together rusted really bad and the Velcro tape let loose and wouldn't hold the straps. the idea was good just the cheaply made ness of it leaves something to be desired. like quality.
