I'm thinking of using a solar cover reel for our swim spa that measures 151 x 90" or about 12 x 7 ft. What is the narrowest this reel can be?

there are 3 sections of shaft. each section of reel shaft is 7 ft long. you could use just 1 section and cut it to the length you want. if you need more than 7 ft you would have to cut the splicer section too and use it to lengthen the cut shaft up to more than the 7 ft. it would work but you would have to be accurate with the cutting of the aluminum shafts. good luck if you do it. the reel works good on 15 ft pool. the instructions are misleading though.

I used this reel for my pool which is 9' x 18'. I used a hack saw to cut the outside poles down leaving the middle one as is. My reel now expands to 9'. Hope this helps.

On the company's web site it states the reel will fit up to 150 ft with a 5/8 hose or 100 ft with a 3/4 hose. They also sell an extra capacity kit for $20 which increases the size to 225 ft for 5/8 or 175 ft for 3/4.

I have a 100ft hose in it with room to spare. It's a great hose reel at a steal of a price. I bought a second one.

You could use the 11KW spa heater - you only have 1500 gallons or so - the 18KW would work but it is more than you need - it will however heat faster - let me know if you have additional questions - Lisa 866 408 3329 sales@worldwidepoolheaters.com

We LOVE this reel! We have a heavy solar cover on our pool & it handles it like a breeze!

this cover is 18 feet it should be 18 give or take an inch. Sounds like its possible you have a 15 or 16 foot pool. to measure your pool go from wall to wall at the widest point.

Your solar cover should be fine. We have a 12 mil for a 16x28 pool. My 8 year old can roll it up and 12 yr old helps me lift it completely off when needed. If to a second post, my 8 yr old can do this too. Only recommendation is to buy a 'clip' or two for each end as the liner likes to unroll both at the same time. The aluminum rod is light weight but seems very strong.

I have the 8' pool and I tuck the 10' solar cover around the edges and then cover it with the pool cover. The solar cover does a good job keeping the pool warmer.

I'd honestly try to find a cover that'll cover the entirety of your pool. The point of solar covers is to hold heat in. If you use multiple panels to cover it, you'll have gaps (even if you overlap) in which heat will escape, ultimately lowering the effectiveness of the cover.

A pool cover is the best way to retain heat and slow evaporation. This solar heater isn't worth the effort to be honest with you. I didn't have much luck with it. Just not enough surface area to provide much additional heating of the water.

Yes, this solar cover can be cut to fit a smaller pool. I would recommend cutting it slightly larger than the pool itself to allow the edges of the cover to bump directly up against the sides of the pool. This allows the cover to lay flat on the surface of the water which helps it heat up but also serves as a catch all for leaves or other falling debris.

Yes, the reel is made of telescoping tubes. My pool is 15 feet wide and the tubes could be shortened further. Not sure what the minimum is but I think you'll be fine.

It's pretty heavy so I recommend a commercial grade reel. http://www.amazon.com/Commercial-Grade-In-Ground-Pool-Solar/dp/B003K1AESO/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1400548015&sr=8-10&keywords=solar+blanket+reel

Although my pool is only 12X24 you would need a roller that is at least 22 feet in length. The model I puchased extends to 18 feet. Make sure you purchase the wheels. It's a great product and works very well. It took a few hours to assemble and set up with the strapping which allows you to lift the cover from the pool as you roll it up. Hope this helps.

Not one that large. The tubing will not be long enough unless your pump is on the long side of your pool. I have a 16x30 and my pump is on the end and it is not long enough. Also it is a very CHEAP product. If you can afford better quality I would definitely recommend it!

I'd suggest measuring your fishing chair dimensions LxWxH and compare with the dimensions under Product Details on the patio chair cover page "http://www.amazon.com/Modern-Leisure-Patio-Chair-Cover/dp/B005IMZ87A/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t". This item is fairly big and covers my Titanic deck chair when it is folded up. This fabric has done well in my backyard keeping water and debris off my lawn furniture. I recommend them. Just do like carpenters do, "measure twice and cut once." Hope this helps!

The cover is round. It sounds like your pool is rectangular. My 15 foot round pool was a perfect fit for the 15 ft round cover.
