Here is an update on our project: we bought a solar cover reel strap kit from Amazon to fasten the pole to the middle. Our cover is thicker, so I ended up drilling through the clips and holding them them together with a stainless bolt, lock washer, and nut. We trimmed the edges of the cover so...

We may have finally gotten somewhere. Used 4 2 inch PVC pipes cut to 9 foot length for 36 feet total. To help strengthen the joints, I slid in 4 feet of 1 1/2 inch pvc and then bolted it all together with stainless 3 1/2" carriage bolts. My concern was that the coupler was just a little too...

We have had a 33 foot round for about 6 years, and the solar cover has been the biggest PITA of the whole thing. The cover reel was just something that the salesperson forgot to mention when he sold the pool to my wife... Here is what we have tried: -Put on the whole thing in one piece - way...

I am in the same shape as Tonya. Here are the specs: 33' ABG with 25000 gal, swimpro voyager sand filter with a 2hp 2 speed voyager sp1520 pump. I can't find the gpm pumping. Thanks.

My filter is not running - due to my electrician being unavailable. It is a newly started 33' above ground 54" Sentinelle. What emergency plan should I put in place to keep this thing from turning into green jello before I can get the pump running. Thanks for the advice in advance - this site...
