An Introduction To The Deceptively Simple Solar Cover Roller

The term ‘Solar Cover Roller’ may seem fairly self-explanatory, especially to those who have long owned a swimming pool and realised the value of such an essential piece of pool equipment through their own day-to-day use.

Nonetheless, it’s worth reminding ourselves of the crucial role that solar cover rollers play in taking much of the stress out of the process of handling a pool’s solar cover.

A bit of kit that you can scarcely do without

A solar cover roller is hardly the most glamorous item that you could possibly buy for your swimming pool, but it’s possibly the piece of pool equipment you will be most relieved for having bought.

As the name suggests, a solar cover roller – also sometimes known as a solar cover reel – is a reel system that enables you to quickly and easily roll your solar cover onto the pool, as well as take it off the pool when you’re in the mood for a swim.

Having to move around a bulky solar cover without a solar cover roller is a recipe for back strain, plenty of good old-fashioned British swearing and a heightened risk of inadvertent damage to your precious solar cover. So even if you think you can ‘get away with’ not purchasing a solar cover roller, you’re highly likely to regret such a scrimping attitude.

Almost everything to do with solar cover rollers is available from us

As you might imagine, we stock a comprehensive selection of solar cover rollers here at Pool Warehouse to suit various practical requirements – not least pool size.

That means we can bring you A Relatively ‘traditional’ Solar Cover Roller incorporating the likes of stainless steel end supports, hand wheels at both ends, a brake to prevent the cover accidentally unrolling, a strap set for connecting the cover to the roller, and even large lawn wheels that allow you to conveniently move the reel system away from the pool.

But we can also offer you all manner of similar systems, such as a post system with two post ends that allow it to be fixed to the pool surround, or a swivel system with a hinged end. The latter feature means that the pool roller can be easily lifted and turned away from the pool edge.

We can even give you electric, motorised and solar-powered options for your next pool roller, and a Pool Reel Cover too, so that you can protect your reel system from the ravages of adverse weather conditions.

What you should most know when buying a solar cover roller

In short, you should realise that solar cover rollers can vary hugely in their design and specifications, which is why you should think carefully about the product that would best suit your requirements for your own pool.

The central purpose of such a reel system may be pretty simple, but the range of options available through generously stocked online stores like Pool Warehouse can often be anything but!
