Skip the Heater During the Heat
During the dog days of summer when the heat is almost too much for outdoor activities, there’s no need to use a heater.

To reduce evaporation rates, a pool cover is a good investment. It will prevent most of the evaporation, and keep your pool free of debris while controlling the water temperature.
