Hello
I have a 25k gallon in ground salt water pool in Dallas TX. I am looking to get the water temp up early in this year (want to swim laps). Instead of going through the cost and complexity of a pool heater. I was considering a solar pool cover.
The water got up to 63 yesterday and then dropped down to 60 last night.
I have read that the solar pool covers mostly prevent heat loss. Does anyone have experience with black bubble type pool covers. It would seem that black would give you solar heating and also prevent heat loss at night.
Thoughts?
