Or go solar and heat it for nothing.

That presupposes you have room for the panels. In my case I don't.

Hi

It is in fact possible to heat solar without panels. Nearly vertical
reflective sheets can be used to direct sun straight into the pool.
Its cheap and simple, and when you use the pool you can draw the
reflective curtains back so you dont get over-sunned.

There is usually room for these, tho certainly not always.
