The Intex 28051E Solar Cover Reel mounts to the metal frame of rectangular above-ground pools and gives you a mechanical advantage for fast, controlled covering and uncovering. The reel accepts most solar covers (cover sold separately) for pools 9' to 16' wide and includes a handle with a locking feature to secure the cover in place when stored.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the reel make covering my pool easier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reel turns the chore of handling a full-size solar cover into a smooth, two-person operation or a one-person job with minimal effort.

The Intex 28051E Solar Cover Reel is aimed at above-ground pool owners who want a low-cost, low-effort way to use a solar cover regularly. If you have a rectangular Intex-style metal frame 9'–16' wide and want to cut time and strain when applying or removing your pool cover, this reel provides a straightforward upgrade. Note that the package contains the reel only; buy a compatible solar cover separately to gain heating and evaporation benefits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Does the Intex 28051E include the solar cover?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. The 28051E is the reel only; you must purchase a compatible solar cover separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can one person operate the reel?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes.
