[quote=Navydoc]Pool is 7 feet deep (not supposed to go below 6, but nobody measured). 44,000 gallons, took 40 hrs to fill with 2 hoses. That was a no-joke water bill. Yeah it may be expensive but we’re having an absolute ball with it. This weekend has been an almost non-stop pool party. The fire refugees have been here since Thursday.[/quote]
Just for comparison, mine is on the swallow end with Max depth at 5 feet. Total of 15000 gallons. This is probably why a pool cover is sufficient for us. Pool temp of 85 today.
Would agree with CAR to at least give the cover a try (lots of other benefits such as cleaner pool, less frequent filter cleaning, and No need to fish little critters out of the pool). But might need to get that solar heating system to help extend the use of your investment.
We are very happy with room temp around high 70’s, that might explain the difference. Downstairs almost never reach 80. On a hot day upstairs can hit 84 by later afternoon, then AC comes on to bring temp down to 79. That likely explains why we rarely turn on the AC. If we have the AC on to bring room temp down to 71, I can definitely see the bill double.[/quote]
Yep, that explains it! If we could, we’d have the A/C set on 68, but know that’s just asking for too much. We make it up a bit in the winter time because we keep our heater set at 58-60 degrees. 🙂

That’s too funny CAR. 68 is actually when the heater comes on in winter time!
