We have used it several times to move the solar cover. It is terrific. Even had big kids rough housing and the reel hung on with all of the wobbling that happens when waves occur. I am so glad we have it. It’s worth the money and designed great. I crank about a quarter of the cover and straighten up the edges on the reel and repeat until I have a great roll on the reel. I use a couple of ropes to tie up the roll so our Frequent windy weather doesn’t catch it. The cover causes the water to temp to stay very warm. Too warm sometimes so I am removing the cover in the afternoon to let the water cool a bit. The hot water messes with the PH. Rashes occur. I need to keep putting in the Sodium Bicarbonate. Hope this helps! Intex, 12x 24 above ground, second year. First post: I’m pretty impressed with this reel. So easy to install. It works great and seems very sturdy. You do lose about a foot of your pool to this but it’s worth it for the easy off and back on!
