When the day time temp is 60 degrees or less, we only use the hot tub. I would not use the pool when the air temps are at or below 60 degrees even if I could have 90 degree water temp in the pool. The variation is too great for me. Jack's was our choice after a detailed complex research for solar. They were not the cheapest, but they were top of the line quality with the material they use and their workers were polite and professional.
We pretty much get the same upper temperatures of 88-91º for about the same 9-10 month period. The only difference is that we had (8) 12.5 panels SW facing installed by Jack's.
