Default Love our solace heated pool

Hello. Not sure what you mean about bird cages lowering the pool temp but all pools must have a cage over them. We have solar heat and love it. We have 10 or 12 panels ( it's dark and raining out or I would go count them) and it cost 4,000. In the winter, you need a solar cover along with the solar to keep the pool warm enough to swim, at least that was our experience. We couldn't use our pool from November 1 to April 1 because we did not want to use the solar cover.....too much of a pain for us. But, we still very much enjoyed sitting by the pool and looking at it. Best of luck with your choice!!
