What is the minimum width for this solar blanket? My pool is 12' Wide by 24' long, will this reel work?

This reel will work on pools down to 12 feet wide and up to 16' wide, so yes this will work just fine on your 12' X 24' pool.

Do I need to purchase a strap kit with the reel to attach the solar blanket to the reel?

No, you would not need to purchase a stap kit. The reel includes all straps and necessary hardware.

Can this reel handle a 16 mil cover (for a 16x32 pool)?

No, it is recommended from the manufacture that you use a reel that is 4" in diameter. This reel has a 3" diameter.

How tall is the solar reel when the cover, 16 x 32, is rolled up completely? How much room do I need for this set up to fit under the diving board?
 Reply

A  Answered on 3/7/2017 by InyoPools Product Specialist Megan C.

The height that the solar cover will add will vary depending on the thickness of the cover. The manufacturer of the In-Ground Blue Solar Blanket 16 x 32 ft. Rect. - NS420 is Midwest Canvas, I recommend contacting them at 1-773-287-440 for confirmation.

Can this be shortened for a 10' wide pool, by cutting the Aluminum and attaching to the joint web?

Hi, Wendy. Yes, this solar reel system can be shortened to be used on a pool that is smaller than 16 foot.
