Covering a heated swimming pool at night will reduce heat loss. For a swimming pool that relies on the sun for heat, covering it at night can still make it warm enough to swim in the next day, instead of losing all the heat overnight when the temperatures drop.

Should I cover my Intex pool at night?
Using a pool cover overnight can reduce evaporation. Plus, the cover will trap accumulated moisture, and it’ll naturally go back into your pool. You’ll be rewarded with a more consistent water level and maybe even a lower water bill.
Why are there holes in the Intex pool cover?
These small holes prevent a large pool of water from getting on the pool cover. All Intex pool covers have these safety holes, except for the covers for the Family Swim Center Pools. The rainwater then runs away from the side and not through the holes in the pool water. The sail will also flake less with a lot of wind.
Can you leave an Intex pool up year round?
In warmer climates, Intex advises to keep your pool up, if you prefer. However, you must winterize the pool when keeping it full throughout the winter. If your area maintains tropical climates all year long, you may not need to winterize your pool at all, especially if you use your pool on a regular basis.
How much baking soda do I add to my pool?
A rule of thumb is 1.5 lbs. of baking soda per 10,000 gallons of water will raise alkalinity by about 10 ppm. If your pool’s pH tested below 7.2, add 3-4 pounds of baking soda. If you’re new to adding pool chemicals, start by adding only one-half or three-fourths of the recommended amount.
