- 1). Place a solar cover over your pool. Solar covers are thick, dark, floating covers that collect and trap heat in the water. Begin using a solar cover when you open your pool in the spring. This helps increase the effectiveness of the cover.
- 2). Place the solar cover on the pool during the day when the pool is not in use. Cover the pool every time people stop swimming. A pool will heat up most during the sunniest portion of the day, and using the solar cover helps increase that heat.
- 3). Cover the pool at night to prevent heat from escaping. Although water cools at night, a solar cover can help prevent some heat loss.
- 4). Install a pool heater. Purchase a heater sized appropriately for your pool and follow all instructions when installing and using it. Turn the pool heater on at night. This will help retain the water's heat overnight.
