How easy/difficult is it to install and remove from the pool? Takes 2 or 3 people?

Be sure to read through the instructions a couple of steps ahead of the one you are on. It helps. Also, we really only had 1 person put it together but we also had a 2nd person who was handing over parts/screws/etc as needed. We used 3 people to put it into the pool and finish set-up (2 could probably do it but we had 3 people on hand anyway). It took us some time to put the first set of steps together but once we had done it once the 2nd set was a breeze.

We actually just did this a couple of days ago. Took 2 people and was very heavy. Would be easier with 3. Husband took it apart first at top. Then we lifted the half that was in pool. Thank goodness he is very strong. Between water and sand weight it is super heavy.

It is about a half-day job. Not terribly difficult but you need to disassemble and reassemble. Note also that you will likely need to adjust the depth meter and stops. If I recall correctly this was off just a bit. By the way this upgrade is fantastic. You will wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

Very easy to install and operate. It will go off in high winds but easy to shut off. Great asset to anyone with a pool and kids :)

I think there were instructions and I use the razor knife my pool is vinyl. Easy install

You do not HAVE to screw this to the pool. With two people it is possible to use the device without attaching it. One to hold the reel in place, the other to wind the cover up.

I installed mine with the water level up at normal operating depth. My wife was insistent that we get one for this summer. It wasn't hard but it wasn't easy either. I would recommend installing when level is below the return.

takes us about 30 minutes with 3 people and 45 with 2. Trick is to color code the parts once set up with some paint and it makes it easier for the next time you set up.

I wrapped it around the the poles more. I have pretty wide pool so I didn't have to do too much. I have to honest, my handyman set it up, so maybe its more complicated than I think, but doubtful from looking at it.

Scott, I have an above ground 16 x 32 oval pool with one side open to our large deck. I used 2 base kits. However, to determine how many kits you need, you must count your panels (spaces between) between your wall uprights. That will give you the amount of sections you need. I ordered two "base" kits to do 14 sections and had some left over. Just know that they sell another kit...I think that is to finish off the ends, so check it out online. The fence supports mount on your pool wall uprights. That means that you will have to leave an entire section open in order to use your ladder. I had to customize some of the vinyl fence supports to mount to the railing around my deck (because of insurance reasons, I could have no open fence areas around the pool since I have steps into the pool from the deck, not a removable ladder). I used a drill and a Dremel tool to modify some of the vinyl uprights which was not too difficult to do and then mounted them to the large deck rail uprights on my deck to finish off my installation. Maybe you can create a removable panel where your ladder goes in? That way you can completely close off your pool when it is not in use in case a child were to try to climb over the wall. You should know that you need to cut EACH section to size and that will take some careful measurement and cutting. The whole installation took me a day and a half, working alone without any other help. Just remember to measure twice and cut once since I don't recall any extra pieces being in the kit! I am pleased with the product and it saved me from having my insurance cancelled and having to fence in a very large yard...so it was worth every penny. Good luck! Sincerely, Tom V.

its really not that hard at all. I did most of it myself. I asked for a little help from kids to help put legs on once top was built but if I had to do it myself I definitely could have. took about 30 min total since first time I was putting together and to put up the netting. it uses shower rings to slide open and closed. there are like 50 of them on the 13'x13' lol.

Super easy. Remove the middle bar in 60 secs...slide three pieces under the bes.

If I recall from last summer, you insert the pool pieces thru the slits for the bottom back and upper sections. It can be done with just one person, but easier with two. Hope that helps.

WE put this in my in laws pool. They are in their 90s and it's allowed them to get in and out of thier vinyl lined 16 by 32 oval pool without any problem. After assembly you fill with sand and set 4 removable anchors in the pool deck. Took us 3 hours to complete. We purchased the simple steps and railing not the Grand Entry setup. Works well for us. No liner protecion needed.

pretty easy. Take note of the position of the handle so that you can position the new diverter in the same orientation. Be careful with the screws -- it's easy to strip out the holes. Use a good amount of pool lube on the o-rings and be careful not to pinch the large o-ring when you re-install the lid.

It is easy to install, noisy and obnoxious, and it passed the pool final inspection. It was a lot cheaper than installing auto door closers on 8 foot high sliding glass doors. I left them on for a couple of days and then disabled them, keeping the parts if I need them again. Much more reasonable than $600 door closers!

Yes, it's very easy to install. Just make sure you have good flow (clean filter). It raises the temp fast but the environment plays a part. We have a 10k gallon pool in northern Ohio. I had the pool open mid April at 82 degrees. I get 7-10 degrees on a sunny day. Lose 1-3 degrees at night.
