Covers and rollers, etc

[Give Me Sun!]

Hi Guys,
So I have a kidney shaped pool about 18,000 gallons. Plaster. Unheated. It's my favorite place on earth from April-Nov. After Nov It's way too cold. (Austin, Texas...the new frozen tundra!) Anyway, I'm getting a new electric Hayward 100 BKU heater-cooler installed next week. Son says I NEED a cover, too. I'm older and it will be mostly me using just half the pool for aqua aerobics. So, what type of cover to keep heat in? And probably need a roller. Can I just roll half of it up? Thanks for any input!

Definitely you need a solar cover to maintain as much heat as possible, especially overnight.
They're big and bulky, sadly. Some folks find if they cut them in half it helps when removing but that implies by elbow grease and not a roller.
Here are some examples here- (one is powered)
