I have a fiberglass 10,000 gallon in ground pool with an Intermatic timer. Today I was in the pool all day and the pump was on from it's regular time...10-5. Around 5pm I decide to vacuum the pool (which I need the pump to be on for) and as soon as I came in, the pump timer went off, shutting...

Yes, I actually already cut mine in half when I first got it...it's still hard to put on and take off by myself...I'm such a girl. Shane1, when do you put your cover back on? Do you loose any warmth while it's off for the summer?

I noticed yesterday that it was up to 90 degrees...that is as hot as I want it to get. So what should I do at this point? Should I remove it? I was thinking I could remove it during the day and then cover it back up at night, but that is a lot of work for me as I do not have a reel and I am...

Uh, o.k....ANYWAYS!!! Thanks to everyone who had some great info. about my pool for me!

It's up another 2 degree's putting it at 88 degrees today...I'm convinced that once I stopped getting that rain every night, I was finally able to move up in temperature. Unfortunately, with this being Fl, our rainy season is just about to come on us in full force. We usually don't see the start...

Great news, I just checked the water temp and it's up to 86 degrees...HOORAY!!

I live in Port Charlotte which is about 2 hours south of Tampa

Hey Shane, thank you so much for the link to that graph...very interesting. I've actually been trying to find something like that. It does say that it's based on CA observations, but I'm hoping that where the temps might be off a little due to the rain that we get that CA does not (thus making...

In reply to everyone: Yes, I do have a lanai (which I cannot stand!!) & bubbles are facing down. Today we finally had a sunny day ALL day and no rain and the temp moved up a degree (83 now) so I guess the weather really has had an impact on whether that temp rises or not. Tomorrow is supposed...

I just put a 12 ml solar cover (my first cover ever) on my pool about 5 days ago. I live in Florida, so while it is miserably hot & humid here every day, we haven't had much sun during the past week. We have been getting sun in the am from like 8-11 or 12 noon, then clouds the rest of the day...
