    I have a 15' x 48" metal frame Intex, that I heat with a DIY wood heater. My usual wood source is broken/discarded pallets, and any other free wood I can get. Works quite well, using the "tower" pump that came with the pool.

    Weather lately has been somewhat cool, lows in the upper 50's to lower 60's, and I'm able to keep the water a nicely swimmable 85-95, with keeping it covered at night.

    I don't know if this would be something you could do, since you are in an urban environment, as it does get a bit smoky at times.

    If you want to know more, just ask!

    Unfortunately we cannot burn wood in our yards here. On a positive not the pool water temperature did get up to 76 yesterday and we were able to use it yesterday. I believe we have just been having a cool spell here.

    There are some solar panels made by Fafco that can be placed on the ground, a fence, etc. I believe there is a 2' x 20' panel that wouldgive you 40 sq. Ft. But you will probably need to run a seperate pump. I think that if you have room for 2 panels, you could size a pump for the flowrate required by the panels and not spend a whole bunch of money. Something likethat would probably extend you season considerably.
