My pool cover has bit the dust after 5-years of service. I am thinking of using a tarp this time with a 28" bouncy ball with handles to tie off in the center. What about color for the tarp, does it make a difference? Was thinking the brown to absorb more heat from the sun. Thanks in advance

I have been in Fort Worth for three winters and our pool is just covered in the winter. I do change my pump times to late evening early morning filtration because that is the time freeze guard most likely will run so why waste electricity during the day. I also stop the boost pump and robot...

That's what I was thinking, :bowdown:

Last year when the pool hit 70º we did our first swim. That was last year with the new house and poll and all. Well the pool just hit 70º yesterday but I don't have that same desire to take the plunge so I was wondering what your first plunge temp is?

I am getting ready for a 3-week business trip that will take me through Japan and China and my wife will be going home to visit family. I made myself a vacation/away pumping system and only had $64 in it. It is basically a peristaltic pump and a timer. I set the timer to come on for 2 minutes...

Watching my pool hit 56º today I remember growing up on Long Island swimming at the Fire Island beaches where the water temp in the summer ranges between 50º to 68º. I touched the water today and could not believe that I swam in that cold of water. Now that we have moved to Texas and today...

So what's water temp usually for your first dip of the season?

I am in Fort Worth and right or wrong I have my filter running 4 hours with my Letro-Legend running for 2-hours. The pool is spotless and looks extremely inviting but "the water is only 54º"
