Flash, you running a heater or a blanket?
A blanket, but I keep it on all winter mainly to keep crud out of it. When the pool hits around 75, I take the blanket off, swim, and put it back on. Gets it up to temp and keeps it there in case of a cold snap.
When the pool hits around 82 or so, I take it off and leave it outside until the pool hits 86 or 87, then fold it and put it in the garage for the summer.
A hekkuva lot cheaper than a pool heater and my blankets last over 5 years, but just barely.
