What's your current pool temp?

53.8 degrees on Oct 31 when we closed the pool. We normally don't keep it open during October, but expense-wise, the extra month wasn't bad at all. We used 8 extra kWh this month compared to last year, and the chlorine demand dropped to where I only had to add a bottle of bleach every three days instead of every day. We didn't add any stinky "winter conditioner" to the water this year either, and I can't wait to see the water quality when we open next April. For that matter I can't wait for April just to open the pool again . . I miss it so much.

We're in the middle of a 3 day heat wave in Los Angeles.
Fully solar , no heater used, no solar cover, running pump at 1000 watts (1.3HP)& 3000 RPM
Yesterday I got up to 70.
Today I hit 80.
For sure - I'm spending some money on electricity to move the water quickly but at 15cents a KWH
- it's still way cheaper than the 400K heater.
Today "the roof" delivered about 207K BTU HR for 8 hours.

down to 64F - that'll wake you up!
Still swimming - me only. Wife and kiddos aren't tough enough (or maybe dumb enough) to swim @ that temp

Today was 71F. Hoping for another day or two of heat to raise it to 74 for one final dip.
no pool cover for awhile, Its a two person job and the girlfriend won't help put it on till i vac the bottom clean, well everytime i do the wind kicks up and the pools a mess again, then she stopped using it as much soo i quite keeping after it. Now it's 50 deg. Waters been 50-60 deg. for over a month. Wish I had money for Evacuated Solar tube collectors, now those are HOT! Even in the winter and snow around them. Insulation is everything.

Ours is 33ºF this morning! Brrrrr! It's not supposed to get this cold here! I could use a little global warming about now!
What's wrong with this picture? They closed the pool in mid-December. Here they are installing the Loop-loc cover. It's 24 degrees here in the morning and 32 degrees at night, but the hot tub is a warm 100 degrees any day. I'm a NEWBIE and enjoying every minute of it. Thanks TFP!!!

I'm assuming at least 32 degrees on top since there was an inch of ice when I popped the loop-loc last week to look. This morning, i have 2 feet of snow on top and cant see it at all.
When's spring again?

water temp is about 14 C and ambient temp this morning dropped to 7 C, couple weeks ago we had a few days at 3 C but then again, just yesterday afternoon it was over 20 C outside.
don't ever plan on installing a heater, it never really gets cold.

Water is 39ºF, Air is 29ºF and holding...freeze protection on for the last 72 hours....thinking if water drops to 35-36ºF will turn on water heater before everything freezes... :? :?
