    Default Keeping in the Heat?

    Our pool water is starting to cool down since the night time temperatures are getting lower. What's the best way to, "Keep in the Heat"? A solar cover at night? A couple of those fish things? Any ideas?

    HA! Wish I could give you some--I'm still having to aerate mine at night to keep the water temp below 90!!

    Early in the season (before the "heat wave" hit and our water temps were hitting 100), we found that a solar cover did very well at keeping the temp stable over night.

    Ditto. Keep the cover on and don't run the pump during those cooler hours at night.

    Cover on & solar fish too...
    the fish stuff is also available in liquid jugs that can be poured in the skimmer daily ( called HeatsavR) & it's also available in a slow-dissolve pill form
