How To Attach Your Above-Ground Pool Solar Cover To A Pool Solar Cover Reel
Your recipe for successfully mounting your above ground pool solar cover
to a
solar cover reel involves one post, some clips, and your
solar cover and small amount of your time.
Set Up Requirements For An Above Ground Pool Solar Cover
An above ground pool solar cover is not made differently than an in ground pool solar cover, but it is set up differently.
With an above ground pool cover, you'll need to get it set up to a pool solar cover reel that's actually a tad bit away from the pool.
If You're Using A Wooden Post As Support For The Tube, Make Sure That The Ground Is Dry And That It's On A Leveled Land And Not On A Hill.
When it's on a hill, there's an increased chance that it will fall over easily.
If you have no choice but to have it on a hill, make sure you somehow dig the area a bit to get it flattened and if water is present of if it's wet for some reason, you'll need to wait until it's dry.
There are even supports that you can buy to make sure the wood/medal posts stays in place, though the supports are expensive.
Once You Have The Posts Up And The Tube In Place, You'll Need To Get A Few Tarp Clips And Clip The Above Ground Pool Solar Cover Onto The Pool Solar Cover Reel.
- Some of the packages may have tarp clips that come with them and some many not.
- Either way you may still need to purchase some clips just to have an extra backup incase something fails.
- Always buy clips that match the post more than the cover.
Some People Tend To Buy Clips That Will Match The Cover, Which Is Fine, But It Can Give It An Odd Look.
- If there are no colors that match either the above ground pool solar cover or the posts, then just go with black.
- Clipping them onto the covers shouldn't be a hassle, and indeed you can punch a few holes into the cover if they didn't come with any.
Unwrapping The Above Ground Pool Solar Cover Is Easy, But You Can't Unwrap It So Fast Or Else It May Get Jammed.
- Just slowly try to cover the pool.
- Usually this can just be done by one person since it's easy and not that heavy.
Wrapping the pool can be a bit of a job for you'll need to slowly turn the wheel and make sure that the cover stays inline within being wrapped or else it may get off track.
You may need to stop a few times to fix it, because it'll always somehow get off track a little - but just enough to have it difficult to unwrap for future use.
