Cooling pool

Here we are in the middle of October and still swimming in the pool at least twice a day, at night the air certainly is a lot cooler and this is cooling the water a bit, but because we have a solar cover on the pool, the sun in the day is warming the pool water up to a certain extent I do think we are also aclimatising to the water temperature as it must be dropping slightly all the time now, the question is how long will it be before we find it just too chilly to be enjoyable.

solar pool covers

Now the days are getting shorter and cooler ,we have put our solar pool cover on the swimming pool, basically it is high quality bubble wrap with a coating and seams, but it is doing an amazing job it takes just a minute to pull it over the pool where it floats on the water and the same to wind it back onto the roller, but we are finding it has lifted the water temperature by up to 8 degrees centigrade so we will still be comfortable swimming for a while yet. Last night we even had a swim after midnight.
