What is difference, if any, between this and "free form solar pool cover reel"?

From what I can see of the "free form solar pool cover reel" description on Amazon, it looks to be the same thing

It's round Dana. It's a good idea to order a size smaller than your pool so the solar cover doesn't interfere with your ladder and the skimmer basket. Or you will have to cut to make that adjustment. We never had to cut at all with ours.

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.

We use ours on an in ground pool, from what we can tell there's no difference. The product is a little lighter weight (prob like 8 mil instead of 10 or 12 mil) but it lasted and warmed just as well as the thicker ones we purchased previously. We are in Phoenix and the sun bakes those covers and they start ripping after 2 seasons, regardless of how thick it is. Our pool has in-floor popup cleaning heads and ran just fine with the pump on. I cannot advise on if a solar cover would interfere with a mobile vacuum.

This is a manual reel. You can use the hose without unrolling it from the reel.

No. This is the original design with some design improvements to address durability issues on the original design. I bought this one last year and I have owned 2 earlier versions for my vinyl lined pool. Wear out and an attachment failure were the reasons for my replacements . There doesn't appear to be much difference in the operational claims between the new black bodied model and this one.

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.

This is a baitcasting reel, the other is a spin cast or spinning. I don't what answers your looking for. But if I was fishing for pike and trout, I would go with a spinning reel.

I would think you could use it for either one. I cover my Electric gill with it, but of corse, not until it has cooled off and is safe to cover it. I got to tell ya, its made very well and will last for years.

It's pretty heavy so I recommend a commercial grade reel. Commercial Grade In-Ground Pool Solar Reel Up to 20 ft. Wide - 5 Inch Tube

Purchased this 15 ft solar cover for our 15 ft round pool. The cover is at least a foot bigger than our pool requires. Manufacturer recommends tucking the cover under it self around the pool edge. This works fine for the one foot over hang. Manufacturer also indicates trimming to fit. (This is best option for a 10 foot pool). Overall the cover is rugged enough for everyday handling and functions as manufacturer states.This should be a good fit your 16 foot pool.

Could not see a difference with the fish. I purchased a solar blanket with a reel. Easy on and off. Makes a big difference.

Not all solar covers are the same. If you have any other questions you can also call 800-950-2210. Thank you. FamilyPoolFun

They're two different things... this is a solar pool cover, designed to be used when the pool is open, to keep water in and debris out, while heating the water. The tarp with clamps (or cable) is used when you close the pool up for winter.
