Wonderful purchase, November 27, 2008
By babs from Cincinnati, OH

Pros: easy to roll
Cons: tricky to unroll

"This reel system is the best. It is easy for one person to use, especially to roll up the solar cover onto the reel because of the locking mechanism. It does not sag and the wheels make it very easy to roll out of the way. The only tricky part is to unroll the cover by yourself. It requires a little practice."

This is a great product, August 8, 2008
By swimmerette from Michigan

Pros: reels in nicely--even odd shaped pool covers
Cons: Difficult to install

"We really like the reel, but it took us over 8 hours on 3 different days to set it up--and we are not complete idiots. (We had all the tools including cement drill bits.) The self-tapping screws are not self tapping. Now that the reel is in operation we swim more frequently."

Just about a complete winner, August 9, 2007
By Louie

Pros: Strong and much more durable than past covers.
Cons: only one side of cover has a seamed edge.

"Works well and provides good heat retention. in order to un- roll from take up reel, you must grab both sides and pull off reel. One side has a seamed edge and the other does not, which could lead to popping and damage to side of cover. Our pool is 16 x 32 and maybe this lack of edge is for this size only."

Rocky's 3A reel, May 26, 2007
By antiviking

Pros: durable, easy to install, doesn't sag

"I purchased a cheap plastic reel 3 years ago and my neighbor purchased a Rocky's - I was penny wise and dollar foolish. I recently purchased a Rocky's from In The Swim and I'm very happy with it. It even holds up well outside in our harsh Wisconsin winters."
