Without Beer and lack of sense, what is a good swimming water temp?
Ready to get my pool built and do the cannonball!! Then it's beer time!

I broke my heater........Experimental iteration of a rocket stove using 24ga stovepipe. Burned out the elbows. Too hot for that light a material, so my pool has been losing heat. back down to 60, from a high of 70.

Got my heater fixed!
Made a new one out of 6" well casing. we'll see how long this one lasts.
Pool is back up to 70.
Return from heater is 75.

Was 76.........but headed back down to 40 at night for next 2 nights---no heater, solar panels or nuthin'!
I don't want to talk about it.........
Too many nights below 40 here too, and I've got a heater (such as it is) that I can't keep stoked 24/7 to at least keep the pool from losing......

Reading 70 at the top! We have different floats. The "float without touching water" floats will be out this weekend and we'll ease into the ok lets actually get wet floats 
With the air not getting close to 55 for a high the last several days, I'm lucky to have retained any heat in the pool. So the 70 I had last week went south..... OK, who took it?
Currently, the pool is back down to 62. How am I supposed to do me physical therapy like this?

I guess I took it. Water 76 today after 3-4 days of clouds. Need sun !!! Need 80 water ASAP.
Well Aimee,
I guess you need it as much as I do! I'm making more if you want it!
Heater outlet temp is 68, so I'm getting good heat transfer. Coils are sweating, and as such seem to be self cleaning. No ash or other byproducts getting melted onto them.
I'm slowly insulating the return, so more of the heat makes it through the 20' of pipe to the pool.

Ive been in several time over the last three weeks .... no clue what the water temp is. All I know is I was hot from doing yard work and that water was cold but not too cold. Felt great!
I guess maybe some day I will break down and buy me a cheap thermometer with a frog or duck on top of it.

Mesa Arizona and we are hitting our first 100 degree day of the year this weekend. My pool is, and has been between 86 and 88 for a long while now with the help of solar heaters and a solar blanket but with the temps staying in the high 80's and 90's, I'm pretty sure that the cover will be taken off and stored in the next week or so. After that, the solar heaters will do the job for the next few weeks. Those will be turned off in the next 2 to 4 weeks and then I'll have to start wondering how to keep the water below 90.
I love living in Arizona. HA!!!!!

Got up to 74 last weekend and boys went swimming ... now back down to 68 ... I'm not getting in until it is at least 80 ... they can keep doing the polar plunge while I watch on the deck!
UPDATE
I wasn't thinking and left the solar heaters and solar blanket on. My water is now a sizzling 93 degrees.
WHOOPS!
