    Default Gotta heat it up!!

    Ok here its 82 degrees in the water in summer but we want to warm it up. We have solar heating but that doesn't do it, Would more panels work? We don't use a cover. how much does each panel raise the temp? Thanks Dave

    I only trust the k-2006 titration is better for me

    Use a solar cover. It will make a HUGE difference, by insulating and preventing evaporative cooling. Cheapest, fastest way to solve the problem. I'd also recommend a roller for the cover.

    The cover and the reel are separate items. You can use a cover without a real, particularly on an AG that doesn't have a fence or a deck, but it's a pain.

    Personally, I don't like the plastic reels as they don't hold up to the intense heat and cold here. I got only 3 years out of mine. But my metal reel has held up beautifully for many years now.
