So now we don't have to take it off and put it back on every (sunny) day!

Even with it giving off so much heat that way, it was 72 last night and we all got to swim. We've got a few rainy days now, but on the weekend it'll catch right back up.
What type of cover do you have...???

Is it a solar cover like this...???









The solar cover on my pool would raise the temperature quickly and keep it there. Not only does a solar cover and solar heater get you into the pool earlier, it extends the season.

When I had the pool I also used this solar powered item.





I hardly used any chemicals. Just chlorine shock once or twice a week.
