If my pool is max 20" wide, do I need a reel 20" or does it have to be larger? I was looking to purchase NS974 reel

Hi Donald, The 20' Hurricane I/G Aluminum Solar Reel would be ok to use with your size pool.

Looking at the video, It does not appear the reel will fit under a diving board. Also,is the NS974 the only option for a 16 Mil Cover?
 Reply

A  Answered on 4/7/2017 by InyoPools Product Specialist Andy O.

Hello Joe- This reel is 12" high without the casters which will fit under most diving boards. And yes, this will be the best option for a 16 mil cover.

what casters fit this product
 Reply

A  Answered on 9/27/2017 by InyoPools Product Specialist Lennox H.

Hi, Paul. This specific reel system does not have casters or have the means to use casters. You will have to purchase a reel system that has casters or modify it to use casters.

I have a 20'x40' pool, and see I should get the 4" tube in lieu of the 3". Can you provide me with the product link to the 4" or let me know what the increased cost would be?

I have a 20 x 45 in ground pool. I have a couple of questions. 1. is it just the reel rod that is 20' or does the 20' include the legs. 2 do the casters come with it?
 Reply

A  Answered on 4/22/2020 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Hi Danuta, This reel comes with approximately 25' of tubing that is telescopic so it would be more than sufficent for a pool 20' wide. The caster are not included and you would require these optional casters 99-55-4395018. For a 20' x 45' pool we do suggest a 4" tube to prevent tube sag and this solar reel is only a 3" tube. Our suggestion is this 20' Hurricane Solar Reel with 4" Tube
