So
Why do you need a cover for your pool?
Many
reasons, from savings on heating costs to keeping the pool
clean.
According to the United States Department of Energy, using
a blue bubble cover can cut heating bills by 70 percent or
more, increase water warmth by 10 degrees or more in season,
conserve water and chemicals, and, obviously, keep the pool
cleaner.
Outdoor pools lose heat from evaporation, radiation and convection.
Evaporation is responsible for 50-70 percent of heat loss.
According to one authority, an uncovered pool of 26' by 39'
can lose up to 180 gallons of water a week. Covering your
pool will eliminate heat loss through evaporation and significantly
reduce loss from radiation and convection. Preventing evaporation
and chemical loss means savings to you.
Environmentally you will help by using
a cover on your pool. Water is a precious natural resource
and we must take care to conserve whenever possible.
You will want to place and retrieve
the cover with the minimum of effort. That's where a reel
system comes in. Rocky's precision-crafted rollers come in
various sizes and styles, for mounting poolside, under diving
boards and on walls. Easy to install, simple to operate. Rocky's
get people into pools faster!
Which
Reel System Do I Buy?
That's a good
question. Before you make a decision on which reel system to
buy, we suggest that you look at what is available in the market
and compare the quality. Most important is the material used
to make the reel system. Will it stand up to constant use, and
not deteriorate when left out in the elements? This is an important
point, as most reel systems spend the majority of the time outside.
We believe that once you have taken the time to check out
the competition, you will decide that Rocky's is the reel
system for you. It's easy to operate and comes in a variety
of models. Rocky's high quality materials, die-cast aluminum,
superior enamel finish, Satin Luster anodized tubing and low
maintenance features enhance your investment now and for years
to come.
All reels come guaranteed with a full ten-year warranty -
proof that we are offering you the best product. The warranty
means peace of mind for you, and we promise hassle-free service
if any problems arise during the warranty period.

Frequently
Asked Questions - And
Other Troubleshooting Tips
Here are some questions
we are often asked. If there are any other questions that
you would like an answer to, please do not hesitate to
contact
us and we will do our best to answer.
Why
does my cover crease when I reel it in?
The system was not set squarely to the pool, therefore
the cover is pulling more on one side than the other.
To remedy this, you will need to reset the system
square to the pool.
Some of the strapping is tighter than others, this
will cause uneven tension and creasing. Take the straps
off at the tube and refasten them so that each one
has the same tension.
Why
is my system difficult to reel up?
When you installed the system you should have put
waterproof grease in the black bushings. This needs
to be done at least once a year to ensure ease of
use.The bolts holding the handle and white knob have
been over tightened. This will cause too much friction
and make turning the handle difficult. Just ease the
pressure off both bolts and this should help.
The cover is too heavy, it may be waterlogged. If
you are using a cover that is not a 1/8" bubble
cover check the tube guide table to make sure you
have the correct model for the size of the cover.
The
drop in anchor (concrete seal) turns when I tighten
the anchor bold.
The hole for the drop in anchor is too big. The
right size is 1/2" round hole (1-1/2" deep).
If the hole is more than 1/2" in diameter, you
will need to drill another hole of the correct size
and reset the others.This can be a problem when the
drop in anchor has not been center punched. By doing
this with a center punch (or large nail) it will force
the legs out into the concrete. This will secure it
into the concrete and it will not rotate.
You are over tightening the anchor bolts. You need
only turn the bolt about two turns to engage the threads,
this will be enough to hold the system while in use.
To fix this use a center punch (or large nail) and
reset the anchor in the same hole.
I
have a wooden deck around my pool. Can I use the anchors
included in the kit?
No, the anchors in the
kit are for concrete only. You can purchase wood anchors
from your local hardware store. Take the anchor bolt with
you to ensure correct sizing.
My
tube tends to sag. Why?
Firstly, any tubing
will sag the longer it is extended, gravity tends to
take its course.
Most sagging is the result of someone using the
tube as a seat. Tubing is not designed to be sat on
at any time, this is also a dangerous practice and
can cause injury.Did you follow the instructions and
bolt the tubes together? Or did you screw them together?
If you screwed them together they will not have the
same lateral integrity as bolting them together.Check
the length of the tubing against the instruction sheet
and ensure the tubing is not over extended. If you
over extend the tubing sagging will occur.
Are you using a heavy cover? If so the weight may
be causing the sagging. All Rocky's tube sizes are
determined using a 1/8" bubble cover, so therefore
any other type of cover may cause a problem.
How
far apart should I place the strapping?
The usual distance is
every three feet; check the instruction sheets for details
on how to attach the cover to the tube. You may wish to
place the strapping at closer intervals, although it is
not necessary. You can purchase extra Rocky's Strapping
and grommets if you require them.
Why
won't the grommets stay together?
This problem is usually
due to incorrect application. The strapping should be
purchased as far over the shaft on the female grommet
as possible. Then insert the male grommet and tap with
a hammer, not too hard, but enough to snap them together.
This should resolve the problem.
Where
do I place my reel system for the best possible effect?
Please see the instruction
sheet provided with the reel system. If you are having
trouble deciding where to place your reel system, feel
free to call us at 1-800-441-7789
