Hi everyone,
I just wanted to share that we got a solar pool cover this season and it has made a HUGE difference in the water temperature. Last summer, we were consistently at 74 degrees (F) and this summer, using the cover, the water is generally 92-95 degrees (F). My wife wouldn't even swim in the pool last year, it was too cold for her. This year, she's swimming almost every day. Anyway, I looked on here before we purchased the cover and I wasn't sure if it would be a good idea, and I'm so glad we decided to do it.

I"ll share the link of the cover that we purchased, but I'm not affiliated, just sharing information.

Happy Swimming Everyone!

While I'm certainly glad you're happy with it, you can't really compare seasons as no two are the same.

The cover stops the overnight evaporation which accounts for 70% of your heat loss, being seen as a 'gain' tomorrow. They need the weather to cooperate at a point where you care that the pool is a few degrees warmer than it should be. When it's 60 degrees all week, it's little consolation that the pool is 66.
