Doheny's Deluxe Above Ground Solar Reel System

The Doheny's Deluxe Above Ground Solar Reel System is designed to make covering and uncovering your above-ground pool with a solar cover easier and more convenient. This system helps to extend the swimming season by retaining heat and reducing evaporation, while also simplifying the storage and deployment of your solar cover.

Function Description

The primary function of the Solar Reel System is to provide a mechanism for easily rolling up and unrolling a solar cover from your above-ground pool. This eliminates the need to manually fold or drag the cover, which can be cumbersome and potentially damage the cover. When the cover is not in use, it is neatly stored on the reel, keeping it clean and out of the way. When it's time to cover the pool, the reel allows for smooth and quick deployment of the solar cover across the water's surface.

Maintenance Features

  • Remove Reel System at the end of each season: This suggests that the system should be stored away during the off-season to protect it from harsh winter conditions and prolong its lifespan.
  • Clean wheels, hubs, yokes, bearings, and bases with warm soapy water: Regular cleaning helps to remove dirt and debris, ensuring smooth operation and preventing wear and tear.
  • Always store the Reel System in a safe place: Proper storage protects the components from damage and extends the life of the system.
