Need pump, filter and skimmer recomendations?

[mjs31]

I'll let someone else advise you about pumps. But, you definitely need a solar cover (sometimes called a solar blanket). It makes a big difference in keeping your pool warm. Put it on at night to keep your pool from losing all the warmth gained during the day. I would also suggest a solar heater or solar mat. It too will make a huge difference for you.

Thanks...forgot to mention I live in Texas. I actually wish they had a cooling cover.

If you run your solar panels at night, it helps to cool your pool. That might be something to consider.

PS - I'm from Texas, too.
