Commercial Reel System
For In Ground
Solar Pool Covers
1. Congratulation on your purchase of our Swimline Hydrotools Commercial Quality Solar Reel™ for In Ground Pools.
Please follow the instructions carefully so as to not void our warranty.
2. Please use your solar blanket and reel assembly in the manner it was intended for:
a. Your solar blanket is not a safety cover
b. Remove the solar blanket and Solar Reel™ assembly from the pool completely
before swimming use.
c. Do not store the solar blanket on the ground in direct sunlight, as it will burn the lawn
3. Preparation & Assembly: Check inventory of all items and assemble as illustrated below:
4. Depending upon the size of your pool you will also require one of the following pole sets:
5. Positioning Your Solar Reel:
For Rectangular pools, place Stands at either end of pool.
For Irregular shaped pools, place Stands at some convenient midway point. You will need to
fold Blanket and allow Blanket to unwind in two directions. (See Figure A below)
6. Trimming Your Solar Blanket:
• Lay your Solar Blanket (not provided) on top of water. IMPORTANT! Irregular Shaped Pools will need to have their solar covers
folded at point of placement of Stands! The cover will unroll left and right of Stands & cross pole. Please allow 6 inches more
material on length to allow for a fold where straps will be attached for wind onto reel system. (See Illustrations above)
• With scissors trim blanket to fit shape of pool. Be sure to clear pool edge coping.

2.745" and 2.920", the smaller size nesting into the larger size. The 12' and 20' Tube Kits Begin and End with Small Aluminum
Tube Inserts therefore requiring Small Aluminum Tube Inserts at either end. The 16' Tube Kit Begins with a Small Aluminum
Tube Insert and Ends with a Large Aluminum Tube Insert therefore requiring a Small Aluminum Tube Insert at one end and a
Large Aluminum Tube Insert at the other end. The Large Tube Plug is self-alligning. The small Aluminum Tube Insert requires

8. For 3 inch range pole sets, you will use a series of pre-drilled holes, spaced approximately 1-1/2" and 7-1/2" inches from
each end, to join the large tubing to the small tubing. These holes are space 120 degrees apart. At the appropriate time you will
secure with self-drilling and tapping SS screws. Also take note of large holes that pierce both end tubes. You will eventually use
these holes to anchor tubing to Crank Handles with Axle Bolts provided.
