I own a pool and have done for 8 years now. It was in my 2nd year of that I purchased an (expensive) above ground pool winter cover. Guess what I use it for?

On summer nights I cover my pool.

That’s right. When I’m done swimming for the day, I pull over the above ground pool winter cover and let that heat stay right where I want it.

Where I live in in Southern British Columbia, Canada, we hit 70-90 degrees through the summer. Thing is, come evening, most nights you throw on a sweatshirt to keep warm. Temperatures do drop a bit come sunset.

This is when I put the cover on my above ground swimming pool. I like to trap in the heat that my solar panels, attached to the south facing roof, have provided all day long.

In the morning, if I want an early swim, I can roll back the cover and jump right in. I know that pool is the 85+ degrees I left it at the night before.

Now I have a backup heater system also. It is a gas heater. When it comes on, I can actually see the gauge inside my gas meter at the side of my house moving.

In the old daysl, that good old gas heater would fire up around 3-4 am each morning to keep the pool to temperature. Did not think much of it until I received a couple of gas bills. Did not help that the gas company bills me every two months.

After $400 plus gas bills, I decided the investment into a good, quality, above ground pool cover was in order.

My cover has a vinyl surface with a black plastic / vinyl underside. It is about 1/8th think with a heat resistant material in the middle.

It does not work like a solar cover. What is does do is keep the heat inside the pool. As a side bonus, it prevents water evaporation, which has proved to be less chemicals needed as well.

Yes, I paid $1000 for the cover, once I had it custom made for my lazy L shaped pool. First year I believe I have saved that money in gas bills alone as my heater never runs.

I open my pool almost a month ahead of my neighbours each spring. I put on my pool cover and turn up the heater. This is my start up expense and I budget for it. My pool is hot within 48 hours and I take the cover off and on as I use the pool.

Most people are waiting for sunshine to warm their above ground pool solar covers and then loose most their heat every day in the beginning. They loose their heat the same way it comes in, through their solar blankets.

I only own a winter cover.

Come winter, we get cold but rarely freeze, so I keep the cover off my pool as I have no heat to protect and we like the pleasant look of an open pool instead a pool all bundled with leaves and debris all on top.

sure I need to clean it on occasion, but who doesn’t need a few extra chores now and then?

I own a pool and have done for 8 years now. It was in my 2nd year of that I purchased an (expensive) above ground pool winter cover. Guess what I use it for?

In the summer, I cover my pool.

That’s right. When I’m done swimming for the day, I pull over the above ground pool winter cover and let that heat stay right where I want it.

Where I live in in Southern British Columbia, Canada, Nice place, we hit 70-90 degrees on occasion. Thing is, come evening, most nights you throw on a sweatshirt to keep warm. Temperatures do drop a bit come sunset.

This is when I put the cover on my swimming pool. I like to save the heat that my solar panels, attached to my roof, have provided all day long.

The next day, if I want a swim, I can roll back the cover and plop right in. I know that pool is the 85+ degrees it was yesterday.

Now I have a heating system as well. It is a 25,000 BTU gas heater. .

Before I covered my pool, that gas heater would fire up around 3-4 am to keep the pool to temperature. Did not think much of it until I received a couple of gas bills. Did not help that the gas company bills me every two months.

After a summer of $400 plus gas bills, it made sense to purchase a good, duable winter pool cover.

My cover has a blue surface with a vinyl underside. With a resistant material in the middle.

It does not work like a solar cover, it will reflect light and heat when it is on. It does not absorb suns heat. It keeps the heat inside the pool. As a side bonus, it prevents water evaporation, which has proved to be less chemicals needed as well.

Yes, I paid $1000 for the cover, once I had it custom made for my lazy L shaped pool. First year I believe I have saved that money in gas bills alone as my heater never runs.

I open my pool almost a month ahead of my neighbours each spring. I put on my pool cover and turn up the heater. This is my start up expense and I budget for it. My pool is hot within 48 hours and I take the cover off and on as I use the pool.

Others are still waiting for a bit of sunshine to warm their above ground pool solar covers and unfortunately loose most their heat every day in the beginning. They loose their heat the same way it comes in, through their solar blankets.

The only cover I have is the winter one.

In winter, we get cold but rarely freeze, so I keep the cover off my pool of an open pool versus a pool tarp covered in debris.

sure I need to clean it on occasion, but we all need a few extra chores now don’t we?
