There are lots of benefits to using a solar pool blanket, but the fact is, if the pool blanket is hard to put on and take off the pool, you’re not likely to use it as much as you should. A solar reel (sometimes called a pool cover roller) makes using a pool blanket much easier. In most cases, the blanket can be taken off or put back onto the pool by one person, in just a couple of minutes. All ABGAL reels come with an attachment kit and white, reflective over-cover to protect your solar blanket from 'roller burn'.
ABGAL have a range of reels to suit any type of pool – reels that attach directly to the frame of an above ground pool and reels that sit on the pool coping or deck surrounds.

How long does a pool reel system last?
Rollers from the HydroTools™ Endurance Range have a 5 year pro-rata warranty, and the HydroTools™ Advanced Range have a 3 year pro-rata warranty.
You may find similar looking reels online at cheaper prices, but be aware these will not be Hydrotools brand, and will be a different quality - many have only a 12 month warranty, and others offer as little as 30 days. Cheap blanket reels generally don't come with an overcover either. All Hydrotools reels are supplied with an overcover.
Regardless of which reel or which solar cover you have, when your pool cover is rolled up on the reel, you should always use a protective overcover. The overcover stops the solar blanket from overheating and getting roller burn.
The protective overcover supplied with the Hydrotools Reels is white on top, and silver underneath, and comes with eyelets fitted, and bungee cord to secure it to the roller. If you do not have an overcover, you can purchase one separately, or use a reflective tarp to keep the sun off the rolled up cover.
