Quality
Pool cover Reel Systems
|
Precision-crafted from
sturdy die-cast aluminum, Rocky's Reel Systems
come in various sizes and styles, all with long-lasting
baked enamel finish. Satin Luster anodized tubing
is available for all models.
Our
pool systems are not affected by temperature changes
or the sun's rays, and Rocky's few moving parts
make it easy to maintain. We ensure that your
investment will give you years of trouble-free
service. That's why all Rocky's Eazy Rollers are
covered by a ten-year warranty.
| 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.

The above figures

variation in above table.
| 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
