How high (in inches) does the reel sit above the wheels? Will it handle a heavy commercial weight pool cover?

Sorry .. dont know, as this went to a rental house and I never saw it.. Totally unhelpful.. I have a leaf catcher on mine... not heard of any problems from Realtor.

Its about 24in high so you do have to bend down to real. Our pool is 32x16 and the cover fits just fine.

The unit can expand so that the cover is inside of the wheels. The shaft is 16" off the ground. I used a 16'x32' high quality cover that lasted five years. It was so water logged that two people could not lift it. But the reel pulled it off the pool and moved it to my drive way.

Cheaply made and ours broke the first year. Customer service was not helpful. Buy a heavy duty system and not from the same supplier!

Peggy: Unfortunately I just gave away the dolly but I would guess that the minimum height of from the ground to the top of the ball is 24". A welder could easily cut it down. I don't know why they made them so high as it really impacts negatively of the stability of a trailer when moving it. (Maybe, in China, they have very tall trailers!) It is otherwise a very good, sturdy product - the best I've seen. The tires are solid rubber, I think, so I can't imagine that they would ever go flat no matter what the "tongue weight" of your trailer.

I wouldn't buy it for that purpose. Too flimsy. I bought this hose reel for extension cord (not very pleased with it really) and also have a backwash hose for my pool. Would not think it would work at all.

I'm not sure, but it is really about the perfect height for the cover. It holds the cover well without being overly bulky. We are going to build a bench over it, so that space isn't lost. I would say it's around a foot high. We also only received the pole on the first delivery and didn't get the stand with reel system, but Amazon immediately shipped it right out to us, after I called.

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.

I really don't know, because I have only used the heavy duty rods with 130 pounds line for large tunas and wahoos and these rods would most likely be too stiff for that purpose. Btw, the top part of 3 of the 4 rods I bought came unglued and the rollers no longer align with the line coming out of the reel...

Mine is about a foot off the ground...if I,m winding a lot of hose I put my foot on the foot of the reel and you can crank away....

If you are speaking of height yes it will. The only bad part I have found about the cover is it make the heater more suseptible to high winds. You need to anchor the heater somehow.

No, unfortunately this cover will not fit that model. It may fit over physically but will not work for trailering or be able to be secure on the machine. Thanks!

Ours is used on our above ground pool. We have a 52 inch deep pool. I went down it once just to see what would happen at my weight of 165. I didn't hit bottom. I don't let the kids go down head first. I am not sure if it is rated for an above ground but it works for ours. The hose that they sent with it was not very good and we had to buy a new one that was larger and longer to fit to the filter.

Don't know, but it's heavy. Once you have to grab the handle, I find that I have to roll the wheels over the edge of the pool. That might mar your liner. Do you have tiles above your liner and/or edging that protrudes over edge of pool, that might keep the vac away from the liner. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

It's OK in my 16-foot pool but certainly at it's limit. I would say it is fine for 14'-0" or smaller pools but I would get something a bit heavier for anything bigger.

The poles are about 3 foot tall and sit on the deck or rails of the pool. I could not get my poles to stay up so I tied the net to my deck rails and it works great

I have it for an above ground pool. I could see that it would work for in-ground pools too. I love it. This rover is excellent and cleans the pool well. If mine ever tore up, I would order the same one, honestly. I have had no problems. I love it.

This reel though well made did not meet my line capacity needs and was returned. From handling it felt rugged and strong with a good drag. It came with a standard warranty. If it meets your needs I would recommend it as a good buy for the money.

I have always put a 6 by 6 block under it but it does go up a long ways at least 17 to 18 inches I don't have a problem with it I like it. I keep the cover over it when not in use. Really nice product for the price better than the more expensive one I had before, works good for my trailer rated at 7000 lbs that I haul a race car on

Not sure if you can use it for an above ground pool, I used it for an air mattress...sorry.
