When we took the cover off i the end of Feb the pool was 78 to 79. Now in the 80s which I like because we use it after sun down.
Since we had Solar Lights and More put our Solar Panels in, 2 x facing South East and 7 x facing South West, we have the Pool panel programmed (well Solar Lights programmed it), to use the panels automatically when the panels are 8 deg’s above pool temperature and we use the pool throughout the winter months and yes we use a pool cover during the coldest months to save wasting the hot pool water overnight.
