[quote=Navydoc]That’s making me want to buy a solar heating system for the pool. My pool builder said they were a waste of money, but your numbers would suggest otehrwise. Our pool was nice yesterday, but was only 77. Out of curiosity, is your pool dark? Mine is light and it seems the dark pools are warmer. Not sorry I went with the light bottom, I love the way the pool looks.[/quote]
LG is right, the ocean breeze overnight does a very good job cooling down the water. Plus SB simply does not get that hot. I can count with my fingers the number of days the AC is actually needed for the entire year.
The pool cover/solar blanket is the way to go. If you are good about keeping the pool covered all the time except when you use the pool, you may not even need the solar heating for the pool. It’ll cut down your water bill too as it reduces evaporation.
