## Overview

The Intex 28051E Solar Cover Reel is an eco-friendly solution designed to keep your above-ground pool water warmer. It features easy installation and is compatible with rectangular frame pools ranging from 9 to 16 feet in width. Please note that the reel does not include a solar cover.

## Description

There are many great benefits to cover your above ground pols, but the hassles of applying and removing the cover can be daunting. Simply attach the Intex's Solar Cover Reel to the metal frame of your above ground pool for easy covering and uncovering. A locking feature on the handle prevents the cover from unrolling.

Review: Great product - Update: we’ve had this reel on the pool for a week over July 4th. 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! Good product!
Review: Well worth it! - This reel makes daily opening and closing of the pool SO easy! It was easy to install and worth the money!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work for my 16'x32' Intex pool? The description says it will, but one person said the pole is only 12' max.**
A: We use it for our 32 x 16 and it’s sags in the middle and the clips are useless they lasted five weeks before they busted off we contacted in text three times and they’re not standing by their product so we had to spend $30 to buy new clips incredibly frustrating

**Q: how wide do the clamps for the sidewall open?**
A: My pool is 12 feet wide and it fits no problem I believe it goes up to 16 ft wide

**Q: is it for oval pool 15x24**
A: Rectangular

**Q: Would it fit 12 by 24 intex pool rectangle**
A: yes

This reel makes daily opening and closing of the pool SO easy! It was easy to install and worth the money!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice solar cover reel, Clips aren't quality
*by E***E on May 30, 2025*

Found that taking the solar cover out and putting back in was a pain in the butt. So I have a round intex ultra xtr pool which had to do a little modification, thanks to a reviewer on here and it works great. Pvc pipe to top of rail and zip ties. It worked great. So much easier to retract the solar cover out and close it back up. I only gave 4 stars because the clips are cheap plastic and keeps coming undone so I took a small zip tie to keep them shut!
