Proper blue sky today. Lovely. Been swimming in the pool since 9th April. Pool now a balmy 30 degrees, too warm really so will have to stop using the cover, but trying to use it more to save water by reducing evaporation.

Interesting to see the difference in temperature in the same village.

Two factors, assuming both pools are in direct sunlight most of the day:

1. Size of pool. Ours is 10 by 5, with a deep deep end. I don't know big Ian's is.

2. Presence of pool cover. We don't have one, Ian does.

Yes Dominic, that's why I mentioned it knowing that there is a pool cover installed in Ian's place. Of course with less water in the pool it heats up more fast. Another story will be the evaporation which is quite high with temperatures about 30C and low humidity. (ca. 1 cm/day)

It's just perfect now, isn't it? Lovely warm days, cooler evenings and you can turn the telly up without feeling that you're wading through jelly in order to do it. Trouble is, summer clothes aren't very forgiving .....

Sorry for the late response, the pool is a tiled 8x4 with deep end about 1.80 - 1.90. The pool cover is by Geobubble. It's a balancing act using the cover - definitely saves water and as HIC says adds a lot of warmth for free - compared to neighbours with a similar pool and aspect I'd say about 6 degrees. The evaporation reduction also means less water going in via the auto topup valve so pool chemistry is more stable - haven't had to add any chems this year and it's nicely balanced. We have a salt water chlorinator so you have to to turn that down as the sun isn't burning off the Chlorine at the usual rate. I'm using this year as an experiment so have some 'data' for next year.
