Thanks!
We also have a solar cover that keeps our pool very nice, temp right around 88. Yes I do like it warm. We started swimming in it this year at the end of March. As to the maint. we hired a pool company. They provide all the chemicals and it runs us about 120 a month. We love our pool.

Pool season is year round in the desert areas. In other parts of Arizona the fall/winter/spring can be too cold. Even in Phoenix a pool heater would be required to swim year round but it is very doable and common in the desert!

True, you can swim in the Winter, but only if you have a heater. I love chilling in the hot tub in the winter.

What is an electric solar blanket? We have a Solar blanket but it's not electric.
