    Not!

    My pool's been 94 for the last 4 days (the solarcontroller's set for 95) and I LOVE IT!. Solar panels and blanket work great for me!

    That's hotter than I like for swimming in the daytime. When it gets too warm, I don't think it is refreshing. But, for night time swims, a little warmer is fine. (Currently my pool temp is around 90-92 I think --- too warm ----but we have also had a week of 100 degree temps. it is currently 101 as I type this.)

    Unfortunately, no. I have that particular book, and it has MANY serious errors. (So do all the others I have!)
