What's the sense of having a pool heater if you're too cheap to use it?

When you see a layer of fog hanging over your pool in the morning, you know
it's time to shut the heater off. *Even a 150,000 BTU heater can't keep up
with losses due to evaporation.

Our pool has already frozen over.

Your area is too cold for this, but in the south, it is common to have a
electric retractable insulated cover over pool. *It lowers the cost, and
allows you to swim on the warmer days. *In Atlanta, we will have a week
or two of nights that drop to the 20's-30's, and then a week or two in
the 70's-80's. *I can remember one Christmas morning it was in the high
80's. *Since the jet stream wanders all over, our weather changes
drastically, and many people keep their pool heater on year round.- Hide quoted text -

Yeah, I cover my pool up but some don't. Mine is covered around the
end of Oct. and I open it end of March. The main reason I winterize is
because of leaves.
