Also, I think my mom would turn the pump and heater off at night and then turn it on again in the morning. Her pool isn't used daily. I guess if it was it would be easy enough to get a timer that could do that for you.
I agree with that...In Montreal summer, the pool temp. rarely goes past 75...all I need is a small bump in temp.....just to be on 78-80 range will be great....and the motor pump is always turned off during the night...courtesy of a good timer.
