An above ground pool cover reel is also a great investment

An above ground pool cover reel is also a great investment, and we recommend purchasing an above ground solar reel with every new aboveground solar blanket. Above ground reels work in the similar way as inground pool solar cover reel. They feature a hand crank that rolls your solar blanket off the pool when it is in use, and provides the perfect temporary storage solution for your solar blanket. An Above ground solar reel also makes it easy for one person to handle removal and re-covering of a solar blanket... something that's not typically possible without one. Above ground solar reels are probably not as important as the solar blanket itself, but when it comes to protecting your solar blanket and making it much easier and convenient to use, they are critical.
