Pros: ? Cons: Did not work with our 2007 model
"We have a 2007 18x33 above ground from Watson's. The hanging brackets would not work with our rails because they have a raised criss cross pattern underneath. The brackets were too large to fit into the spaces. Rails need to be flat underneath or this product will not work. If there is an alternative hanging method, or a way to deal with this issue, it was not listed in the installation directions."

What a perfect saver, in so many ways!,
September 13, 2007
By Siesta
Pros: Very easy to install
"Our old solar cover had a lot of wear -and- tear from constantly taking it on and off of our pool. So, we purchased a new solar cover from In The Swim. In the process of putting it on our pool we realized that it weighed much more than our old cover did and would be more difficult to remove. This solar cover holder is the answer to our problem. It not only saves wear-and-tear on our new cover but it saves us a lot of energy and time."

saved the solar cover,
August 28, 2007
By lajenglishteacher
Pros: one person can use it, inexpensive, useful Cons: takes a little practice to use
"Before the solar saddle, we were bunching up our cover on the tiny deck or throwing it in the grass. We have a very large pool, and this product allowed us to inexpensively store our cover while we are swimming. It also is easy to pull back onto the pool when finished."

Nice Alternative to the Reels,
August 24, 2007
By PoolBetty
Pros: Easy to install and Use Cons: You have to get the spacing just right
"We have used a solar reel for about 3 years prior. Everyone in the family hated it! Nobody wanted to be first in the pool or last out. There was always complications. I found this on line and decided it couldn't hurt to try. Wow! The whole family agrees how much easier it is! No more fighting with a big heavy reel and having the stupid blanket get stuck. It is simply: fold and over the edge! The only downfall was installation. It took a few attempts to get the saddles where they needed to be for proper storage of the blanket."

I love the solor panel and hook!!!,
August 22, 2007
By soldierswife1105from Clarkrange TN
Pros: Keeps the pool cleans of debris, helps to warm the water, the hooks keep it off of the ground! Cons: a little hard the keep it on the edges of the pool. I thought about placing magnets on it, they won't stick!
"We live in the Appalician Mts. so the water temp drops dramatically EVERY night. Since we have had the panel to pull over it, the pool is much more comfortable to swim in. It is easy on and off. My 11 and 12 year old can accomplish it with out my help. I beleieve the solor panel is the greatest invention since peanutbutter! I strongly recommend the use of a solor panel, especially if you are like me and do not like cold water. Try it it works."

Good Product,
August 22, 2007
By LarryinWV
Pros: Easy to install Cons: not sure how long it will last
"The 'cradle' part is just PVC pipe. You probably could do this yoruself, but so far I am happy with the product. Mine installed very easily with no problems. It holds my cover easily (28' cover) and helps keep the cover clean and off the grass. My oldest son is 13 and he can remove and replace the cover by himself."

Easy to use,
August 22, 2007
By Lori
Pros: Easy to use and store Cons: Difficult to attach supports
"Easy way to take the cover on and off, and store, by yourself. I have an older pool, and had some difficulty installing the supports, and still have some difficulty with them not being stable, but I am extremely happy with the product."
