Pool Solar Covers / Reels / and Hot Boxes???
I moved into a house with a 24 foot above ground pool. I just purchased a solar cover and hate taking the thing off on and off every time I want to use it. I do have a reel but would need to purchase the strap kit to attach it to the cover. I worry about this because 24 feet is long distance to extend the reel…I will really bend with the cover wrapped around it.
My other thought was to cut the cover in half and only have to put one side on at a time. What are your thoughts on removal of the cover?
Finally, he former owner used heavy hose attached to the filter and ran it throught the gutters of his roof. The water filtered through the hose, which was being heated by the sun, and back into the pool. Is this bad for the pump…because it would have to pump the water through all those tubes. I think it works like a hotbox? Any thoughts on this?
If you have the time to respond to this….I really appreciate it. Thank you.

My parents have a 24′ above ground pool, I am the one who set it up and cared for it for about 4 years. The solar cover we had the same problem my mother had a hard time rolling it up it was heavy, just not for her. A couple of years ago we dragged home approx. 300 feet of black hose. we attached the hose as it came out of the filter and ran it up on the roof of the house, the other end of the hose went back into the retun line. we put valves on the hose to regulate the amout of water and to be able to turn it off at night when it was cool outside. This process works very well, this summer when we opened the pool the water was around 64 degrees the first day, within a week the water was around 90 degrees. The pump has been working fine and I believe it puts no extra stress on it. The pool is warm and it works very well. hope this helps, any other questions email me at jessejo69@yahoo.com
