"The Solar Rollers work GREAT! Thanks for the suggestions you emailed back too. I was leery of the one position, but it worked perfectly. We are using the solar cover & rollers in conjunction with the Heliocol solar system (installed by the previous owner of our home) on the roof. We hope to be able to use the pool well into November! "

Installing the Solar Cover
To install a solar blanket, simply layout the rectangular blanket over the entire surface or the pool. Smooth out the blanket to remove all ripples and let it set for a while.
Then pull the cover semi-taught along the entire pool edge so the cover is about 45 degrees off the water to the pool edge. You are now going to cut the cover like a cookie-cutter using the inside of the pool edge as a guide. Next, taking a sharp cutting tool, cut along the pool edge and let the cover fall just up against the inside of the pool, yet trimmed enough so the cover does not lay against the pool edge. The objective is to match the cover to the exact surface dimensions of the water and not drag against the pool edge when rolling the cover.
Be extremely careful and cautious not to cut the liner of the above-ground pools.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT COVER SAFETY! As a safety measure, always roll BOTH sections of the solar cover. In contrast to larger full covers that can engulf or entrap a person or animal, splitting the solar cover and placing the tubes across the smaller sections may make solar covers safer because the spanning tubes add a ridge of support across the smaller solar cover sections. In addition, the split-cover opens right up if you or an animal were to walk or fall onto the cover, and the spanning tubes may even provide something else to grab on to. In this way we believe we have helped to make solar covers safer.

To Cover, Just Pull Open Roll and Slide Back Into Pool
IMPORTANT! When you unroll the cover, have the roll 1/2 in the pool, and pull open the roll along the deck 1/2 open as shown in the photo above. Then slide the roll slowly into the pool slow enough so the cover doesn't fold back on itself (watch how the the gal does in the video below). By gliding and swishing back in forth slowly like in the video, you will improve quickly with a little practice.
