How can you heat a pool without a heater?
-
My pool is really cold and I can't afford a heater. What should I use as an alternative solution to heat my pool?

Answer:
If you're handy and have the space, a solar system can be made using goods from Home Depot for under 250 bucks. Two coils of irrigation pipe, one valve to fit your existing plumbing, adapters to go from your pool plumbing size to the irrigation pipe and back up, two plumbing T's and a coupling. That's all you need other than a sunny place to put the coils, like on a shed roof or build your own collector rack for the coils. Alternatively you can purchase what's called a solar blanket that goes on the pool. It does work to heat the pool but slower than a solar heater system. For peak efficiency use both and put the solar blanket on at night to keep the heat in that you gained during the day or on the pool when you're not using it.

Put a cover on it and see if that helps ($20-50 should be affordable) http://www.intheswim.com/shopping/product.aspx?productid=SKU37276&scode=I9TKSHOP&e7=Y&e8=S1000&pcode=108&keyword=S1000 That will reduce night time heat loss and should help. However, if that doesn't work, you have to get a heater. Solar heaters are really quite cheap and don't cost anything to run. Don't bother building it yourself unless you are insane. Here's an example of one that should work for a small pool: http://www.cheappoolproducts.com/Solar~Bear~Deluxe~Above-ground~%3Cbr%3ESolar~Heating~System~4ft~x~20ft_144_3864~product.html Finally, remember it's not even summer yet!
