Barbel Bob Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Hi,Not a major problem i know!! however everyone else i know with a pool has been bragging that their water temp is up to 20 odd degrees or more!!! We do not have a solar summer cover but our pool is in the sun for at least 8hrs a day! A friend said running the pump through the day will increase the water as it is circulating the top warm water???? we normally run ours at night to keep costs down, would this help?ThanksJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I can't believe for a moment that your pool is only 10deg and if you have a thermometer which says it is then I suggest you buy a new one !My own pool, and those of friends, are all somewhere the region of 22/24 and we border 24.For yours to be only 10deg then you would have had to have experienced several days and nights of that sort of temperature which I'm presuming is not and cannot be the case if your friends are reporting 20+Circulating at night might accelerate heat loss but not to the extent that you imply.

Maricopa Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Do you ,live on a mountain? At say above 3000M, that may explain it! Have you actually tested the water yourself, ie if it is 10 degrees, then I'm sure you would know it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Even the North Sea is warmer than 10deg [:-))][img]http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/karten/sst/00020000000001.gif[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 ideally, you should run your filtration during the day as thats when the pool is used most and when algae grows!Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
