Re: pooldv pool thread
No, not really. All I realized is that I don't have enough solar panels to really make a difference. And I don't have room for more. Our solar panels do a good job of recovering from rain, cold fronts and cool days once the pool is warmed up. Which is normally late May through early October. So, we decided to buy a small Hayward heat pump and a solar cover to see if we can extend the swim season.
Here is the log I kept
