I will probably put the cover on tonite, as the water temp will drop over the next few days when the daytime ambient slides below 75.

Wow, I wish our pool got up to 86. The highest we've been up to is 82 this past week when the high air temp got up to 80+. We have a pool that holds appx. 11,700 gals. of water and (6) 4x12.5 + (2) 4x10.5 panels.

What is your panel config and size of pool?

Probably smaller than most, about 8000 gallons, irregular shape but about 24x9 at its widest, depth 3-1/2 to 6 ft.
6 panels all facing south.

I use a combination of solar and gas. Pool is small, 12 X 28 and 3 ft to 5 ft deep. Solar alone will hold it at around 75 using the cover. When using it in the winter months, the solar and gas will keep it at 88 degrees pretty easy.
