Hello all,
I'm looking for suggestion on a solar cover and reel, all I know about them is what I have read. Most of the stuff I have read is not good, how they only last 1 to 2 years, how they fall apart in your pool and leave pieces all over the place.
I have done some searches and see that they come in different thickness, different colors white or blue. I was wondering what makes a good solar cover thickness, color, specific company etc.
And I guess a reel is just a reel, no way you could go wrong choosing one ?
My pool is oddly shaped, it is a lazy "L" 20 x 40. Should I buy a cover that covers all the water, which would mean buying something like a 24 x 46 (just a guess) ? or just cover the water best I can maybe leaving a little portion exposed ?
Thanks for the opinions .....
