How to Put Together Your Solar Cover Reel Strap Kit from Pool Ruler 💪
Introduction
Are you ready to take the hassle out of covering and uncovering your pool? With the solar cover reel strap kit from Pool Ruler, you can make the process a breeze. In this guide, we will walk you through the step-by-step instructions on how to put together your solar cover reel strap kit, ensuring your pool cover is securely fastened and easy to use.
Unpacking the Solar Cover Reel Strap Kit
When you open the bag containing the solar cover reel strap kit, you will find several components. The kit includes straps with velcro on the ends, self-adhesive clips, and buckles. These components work together to secure your pool cover to the reel, providing a hassle-free experience.
Attaching the Straps to the Plate
The first step in putting together your solar cover reel strap kit is attaching the straps to the plate. The plate acts as a secure connection point between the cover and the strap. Fold the plate over itself and snap it closed. Then, thread one of the black straps through the slot on the plate, ensuring it is securely fastened.
Installing the Straps on the Cover
Now that the plate is securely fastened, it's time to install the straps on the cover. Using a knife or scissors, poke through the cover to create a hole. Then, pass the strap through the hole, using a knife to help grab it if needed. Repeat this step for each strap, evenly spacing them along the length of the cover.
Attaching the Buckles
The buckles play a crucial role in ensuring the straps stay in place. Take the buckle, which has a flat side and a curved side, and hold it with the flat side facing down. Route one side of the strap through the buckle, followed by the other strap. This creates a secure connection. The velcro part of the buckle should face the reel, allowing for easy attachment.
Positioning the Reel and Attaching the Velcro
Now that the straps are securely attached to the cover, it's time to position the reel and attach the velcro. Center the reel on your pool and ensure it is straight from side to side. Clean the spot where you will be attaching the velcro, ensuring it is dry and free from dirt. Peel off the adhesive backing from the velcro and press it firmly onto the clean spot. The velcro will provide a secure attachment point between the cover and the reel.
Adjusting the Strap Lengths
To ensure proper tension and an even roll-up of the cover, you may need to adjust the strap lengths. Start by adjusting one strap to the desired length. Take note of the excess material and keep it for now. Repeat this step for each strap until they are all adjusted to the same length, making sure the tension is even.
Rolling up the Pool Cover
You're now ready to roll up your pool cover! Start rolling the cover, allowing for a little extra slack to roll the strap over itself. This provides additional power and ensures a secure roll-up. As you roll, you may notice that some straps have less slack than others. Adjust them accordingly to maintain even tension throughout.
Adjusting the Tension and Positioning
Once all the straps are adjusted and the cover is rolled up, it's time to fine-tune the tension and positioning. Ensure that the cover is evenly spaced between the two sides and adjust as necessary. If the cover is longer than the pool, you can trim it, or leave it in position when rolled up. Make sure both sides have the same amount of tension for a smooth roll-up and pull-off.

By following the step-by-step instructions detailed in this guide, you can enjoy a hassle-free experience year-round.
